Few question about validate armies?

[Teskal]

Hi,

I was little surprised few days ago, to see the Salty Sabre several times in one army list. I thought that most models can be used only once and only models which also exists in Nine-Miniature-Packs can be used more than once.

 

Are the army creation rules very complicated or is it possible to explain the important rules in few words?

 

In the Datacard-Search-Tool I can choose to look afte unique models. Are they the only ones, which cannot be used multiple times?

 

What is the meaning of the different troops?

 

I saw that there are videos about 'Learn to Play Videos'. I think I will view them in the next morning. It's to sleep... :-)

1) Only unique models and Warlords cannot be taken more than once.

2) A troop is a fighting unit and is either a leader with a group of soldiers or a solo model (such as a monster or a strong individual).

3) All leader models have a rank and troop capacity (Rank: Captain (4-10/1)).

4) The first two numbers are the minimum and maximum number of soldiers a leader can have, and the last number is the maximum number of elite models that this same leader can have (during the game it is possible…well very likely… that the leader will have fewer soldiers than his minimum because of casualties).

 

There is also a few more rules regarding army creation... but basically that is it...

The Army Builder doesn't take into account the numbers rule, but it's still fantastic to use, once you have the book or know the guidelines.

2.) Troops consist of one of the following:

a.) A leader with at least the minimum number of soldiers

b.) A single model of type Solitaire or Monster

c.) a group of 3-6 non leader models with the SA Band. This group must all be of the same type (same data card).

5.) Leaders can only lead soldiers that cost the same or less than themselves. (this is not true of any elites that they include in their troop - they can be of any cost)

 

Related to overall army builds:

1.) Cannot be more single model troops than there are leader led troops.

2.) If there are more than 2 leader led troops in the army, then at least one of the leaders must be of rank captain or higher.

3.) No more than 1 model of rank Warlord may ever be included in an army list
