it's 1-3 land raiders in any combinaton of proteus, phobos and achillies

All 20 man
All special weapons, so 4 power swords.
Sergeants with artificer armour, and twin lightning claws.

gotya
that leaves you with 6 squads

2 tactical squads of 20.

10-20 man squad
serge can have artificer armour, and the usual ranged and melee options
no one else can have upgraded weapons
any dude can have a combat weapon in addition to their pistol and bolter
or swap their bolter for a combat weapon

and no you'd only get one raeven

OOC: He's saying extra armour on each different Land Raider

Hmm.
Hmmmmmm.

Can we start yet

we can actually euan

Oh also my luna wolfs will start out as heretics but will convert at somepoint n shit

well...that's a problem
cause now there's no loyalists at the istvaan 3 astocity other than dargoth who aint here XD
unless your mechanicum forces are there cause there were some mechanicum

Can I have a squad of sanguinary guard?

i would normally say no cause they aint got rules yet...but i'll let you use their 40k rules since we know they existed back then

No, I am gonna introduce the later

Ya dig

And my iron hands wouldn't be there if thats the battle where ferrus died because he only took clan company averii with him

Huzzah, I'll have a squad of 10 of them.

Also ollie, you could have more than 10..The codex astartes hasn't been made yet..for all we know you could have 20...

They are rather specialist, so I'm not sure if they went around in squads of 20.
I'll just stick with 10.

in that case
for the sake of being able to do shit we'll go straight to istvaan 5
and alright euan although i'm just gonna read through the book now to see how many iron hands it said were deployed

At the battle were ferrus died (Which he didn't in this because I was told we could change the canon c: ) it was the clan company averii which are the first company

Add on another 2 assault squads.
And a terminator squad with assault cannons!

you can only have 1 assault cannon for every five and there are more options than that....also i assume the assaults have the same as the others?

and euan, yeah but there were 2 iron hands deployments
ferrus deployed in the vanguard while another force deployed further back

You would be correct.
And I will have a squad of 10 with a assault cannon and a heavy flamer maybe?

sounds good to me
the rest have twin bolters and can swap them for combi  weapons
and have power weapons they can swap for hammer, claws or fists or chainfists
or they can swap both for 2 claws

Okay, the regulars will have combi plasmas, and chainfists.

gotya
ya also get 3 vehicle choices

1 rhino and 2 predators.

Or does the rhino count as transport?

OLLIE

WE MUST SAVE FERRUS

IT HAS A CHANCE THAT BY DOING THAT HE WILL BE THERE TO STOP SANGUINIUS FROM DIEING!

the rhino counts as a transport
and predators come in squads of up to 3

Alright, 2 armoured fists of predators (6 predators!)
And... a... hmm.

OLLIE

WE

MUST

SAVE

FERRUS!

you want a reminder of the other options?

Can I have a thunderhawk?

Or a land raider or something.

..but...ferrus...
