What armies do you collect? (40k)

[draco84oz]

As I said before:

40K: Space Marines - just got to finish up the last few infantry, then I can get started on my tank, and I'll have a combat patrol

Fantasy: Brettonnians - will have a border patrol ready for the new edition.

LOTR: Hmm - Uruks, Gondor, Orcs, a little of everything, really.

So you're not wasting your time painting minis that you can't use in combat patrol, here are the force composition rules:

- Armies are no more than 400 points
- You must have one Troops choice
- You may have one HQ choice, but no more than one.
- You may spend the remaining points from anywhere in the codex
- No models can have more than 2 wounds
- No special characters
- No 2+ saves
- No vehicles with a total Armour Value greater than 33. This is calculated by adding the Front, Side and Rear armour numbers (count Side once only).
- No ordnance weapons

The only exception to this is Armoured Fist Squads from the Guard - you may take Armoured Fist Squads without having to take an Infantry platoon.

In your case, this means that the Terminators (2+ save) and Predator (Armour total 34) can't be used. Although, if its all you've got, we may be able to make an exception.

I'm collecting a personal chapter with a significant divergence from the codex.

And, nope, the dread's total armour is 34

Most infantry can be used, as well as bikes, speeders, and light buggies etc.

The heaviest vehicles that can be used in combat patrol are Imperial Guard Chimeras and Tau Devilfish. No big tanks, heavy walkers, or even Eldar Falcons.

With Space Marines you are allowed: Rhino, Razorback, Land Speeder, Bikes, Attack Bikes, and Whirlwind.
