New to Armybuilder / Dark Angels Questions

meverha1 · May 14th, 2006, 12:51 PM

Just a couple of quick questions:

1) Dark Angels can use a techmarine in their command squad as well as other special character (i.e. Chaplin, etc...). However, when I create a command squad I see no option for adding these characters. How do I do it?

2) I wish to attach a Chaplin to a tactical squad (as a replacement for their Sgt.). Is there a way to do this in ArmyBuilder or am I forced to keep the automaticall generated Sgt.?

3) See number #1 above. When I create a command squad AB automatically creates a Sgt. for it. I do not wish to have a Sgt. in the squad since his leadership can be replaced by the commander. How do I do this?

Make sure you have read the v4.1 FAQ for the Dark Angels, it should answer some of your questions:

The major point being, the Dark Angels use the Command Squad from Codex:Space Marines now, not the one out of their codex.

Sergeants are part of the squad and cannot be replaced, but you can still attach other characters to the squad.

It says that a techmarine as well as other characters (i.e. Chaplin) can be part of the command squad but AB doesn't allow for that or I don't know how to do it.

Same with replacing the Sergent with another "command" character

As has already been stated, read the FAQ. You can no longer take a Techmarine as a part of a Command Squad. That was changed with the release of the new Codex Space Marines.

Nor are you able to replace the sergeant in a Tactical Squad. It is not an option to leave him out. You always have a sergeant. Considering he's free, why would you want to leave him out anyway?
