cyclops demolition vehicle

[nicholls]

Is the cyclops still a valid kit to play? I was thinking of picking one up but I'm not sure if I can only use it if I use a death korps army. I want to use it for my catachan army. Am i allowed to?

yep i think so.... with almost all forgeworld releases, when reading the stats sheet in imperial armour is details for what army and what slot type is is intended for...

for instance, reading the cyclops entry now it states .. a cyclops is a fast attack slot for an imperial guard army.... newer decriptions will say something like XXXXXX is a XXXX support slot for an imperial guard codex...

think of it like additions to our existing codex.... i know that some army lists have them specifically listed withing the army list - ie - DKoK and armoured battlegroup ... but it can still be used in a starndard guard list, even though its not in the official codex.

thats a problem really with the void between GW and FW is that they dont contain the same units even though FW produce additional units intended to be used within GW's armies.... i wish there was more cohesion.
there are however some units that cannot be used in a standard guard army... mainly the DKoK specific ones like the breaching tool and DKoK infanty types... but thats not what you asked so il leave it there...

also make sure your opponant is aware of you using forgeworld entries to your army...some may not like it... but then again, you just show them the rulesets and it clearly states you can.... and they should be quite fun to use...

anyone else got something to say about it... i could be wrong.

Yup, heavy support choice for an imperial guard army. That's from the latest FW imperial armour book. I have three of them myself, great piece of kit and opportunity to model the operator.

As always I say talk it through with your oponent. From reading this years GWS:W tourneys some allow FW models and untis to be used others it can only be GWS model/conversion using only GWS parts.
