Title: Blackstone Fortress and Chaos Warmaster
Post by: Koshi on January 23, 2013, 09:13:55 AM
So, one question: If Chaos takes a blackstone must the warmaster assigned to it? Rules say, that it has no crew. Beside this, I found nothing which prevents this.

As rules sais it has no crew, it doesn't make many sense  :P but lets see what do people say.

Warmaster must be assigned to the most expensive ship, the Blackstone is not a ship, its a defense, so i would say its exempt.

Thanks.

Ok, but the fact, that it is a defence, doesn't matter? See Ork Space Hulk for reference...

Yes, that's right. But: The special hulk thing, the fact that it is a defence is the only one, which it shares with the BSF. Regarding only the BSF there are no rules for allocating commanders to it. Ok, from fluff-wise it is impossible and in games I would allow my opponent to assign the WM to the most expensive ship beside the BSF. But, RAW?

I thought the statement alone "no crew on a Blackstone" pretty much implied that a Warmaster would never be on it. Everyone I've ever played with has had the same opinion.

Well, my last post in here agrees with you.
