two Qs for the learned commanders here...

[Deleted]

1) Heavy weapons taking hits/wounds. Do we follow the section on hits/wounds to artillery, or do we just follow the normal rules for taking hits/wounds?

2) GW has the Armoured Company Army List up on their site. I think I'd like to incorporate a Griffon or two into my regular Codex army, so can I use these stats? Or am I forced to take the hit and get a Forge World Imperial Armour rulebook?

Thanks in advance!

heavy weapon crews are 2 individual guardsmen. they take wounds like the rest of the squad. if the squad takes 3 wounds you can take the heavy weapon loader and 2 regular guardsmen with lasguns as the casualties for example.

the easiest way to get the rules for the griffon is to buy the old IG codex. it's got the picture of the oldschool cadians in a trench shooting it out on the cover. the forgeworld book has the info too (so it is still considered current) but is likely far more expensive.

If the Griffon stats are online then you can just print them out.

He wants to know if he can take them as normal, or does he have to have a special army list for it.
The way I see it, the rules are still there, they havnt been "Banned", they were just removed from the Codex, so if you have Old Codicies, or The rules Printed out, Im sure with your Opponents agreement you can use them as normal.

When the last IG codex came out they said that the Griffon and LR Exterminater were drop from the codex because there was no room but they are still game legal so you don't need your opponents permission.

You can down load the rules for them in pdf format from the GW site in the IP errata section. Well worth it, the Exterminator is one fo the best IG tanks IMO.

Does GW have a list of all the oldschool tanks that are still 100% supported as a regular IG tank? They have some pretty cool looking tanks that I want to try out.

[Turtleboy(AWOL)]

I think the only things that were dropped were the exterminator and the griffon. I don't think the executioner was ever in the old dex, though I can look, hold on... ah, the vanquisher is also in the old dex.

the AC list is NOT valid in a normal IG army. as a few of the tanks are cheaper in points for AC's than for standard guard. so you gotta use the old IG 'dex or forgworld IA.

i love vanquishers and exterminators sooo much tho, so i have to have the old dex with me evertime i play

[Warmaster Stabwhiskers]

Is the AC still usable in games day?

Armored Company and Feral Orks are not are banned from GW events. This is from the seatle battle bunker.

[Colonel Grammissar Azalar]

You see, I have a modded tank [ Its got spoilers, Lowered, does 0 - 100 in 10 seconds. Lol. Joke ] Its in all respects Vanquisher unless the opponent disagrees, then its a Leman Russ Battle Tank with a longer barrel.
I want to get a whole set of Imperial Vehicals.

if you need help making an exterminator fairly cheeply this is what i did.I just didn't put on the normal battle cannon but put on 2 multilasers from some sentinals i had that were extra.It looks close enough to what it should be that no one has ever questioned it.
