Ok so i have a little dilemma.
I play several armies for both 40k and fantasy, but one of my favourite and most reliable/effective was my beastmen army.
With the new army book my army got nerfed.
I lost Two of my larger units, Dragon ogres, and trolls. Now i'm awful at painting whole armies, but my beastmen where fully done and it pains me that i have to rebase all my ungor (which is pointless seeing as they will chip and break in removal) and find replacements for the void from dragon ogres and trolls being removed.
Now in the 8th edition rulebook, there is a section for allied armies. This comes before additional rules and scenarios and is near the end of the core rules.
I understand that these rules are for larger games, but it does not state how many players exactly etc.
Now, the one rule of allies, when making army selection is that each combined force must be legal.
My proposal is that in a 2000 point game i take 1000 points of bestmen
and 1000 poitns of chaos warriors.
This would enable me to have dragon ogres and trolls back, i would have core as marauders(converted beastmen) and then a simple hero choice. I would then take a beastmen lord and etc from the beastmen book.
Local gamers at both my stores, home and at uni, agreed that this would be ok seeing as both armies were meeting restrictions like percentages etc.
However, i would like to ask the internets opinion. I'd like to do the army as i have some nicely plastic converted dragon ogres that cost me around £50 to make , but i'd rather not get out my army and have a reluctant opponent.
