Daemon2027 Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 I am looking at the mini rule books, and Thallax Cohorts and Castellax Battle-Automata are listed as optional heavy support. It also says that these can be included under certain provisions, and that I should see the Cortex Controller on page 89. Now, on oage 89, the Cortex Controller entry all it says is that units with the Programmed Behaviour rule within 12" may be used as normal, and nothing on making Thallax and Castellax heavy support options.

Reyner Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 They are included as Iron Hands can include Mechanicum units as part of their Legion rules or Rite of War (can't remember which). There could be another reason but that's how I see it at the minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daemon2027 Posted September 9, 2014 Author Share Posted September 9, 2014 Yeah if you take the Head of the Gorgon rite of war you can take mechanicum units as elites. However I am referring to the Great Crusade list, where Thallax and Castellex can be taken as optional heavy support. The rules suggest you need a Cortex Controller, however the entry for Cortex Controller makes no mention of allowing additional heavy support.

Fire Golem Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 If you take a cortex controller, you can take one Thallax squad (without one of their specialisations) or one Castellax squad as a heavy support choice. I know that that's true but I can't remember where it is haha. Ah! Any forge lord may take a cortex controller, if taken either a single Castellax unit or Thallax without augment upgrades may be taken as a heavy support choice. It's on the page titled 'Additional special rules for heresy era gaming' in Extermination so there might be a page called that in the LACAL book.

Daemon2027 Posted September 10, 2014 Author Share Posted September 10, 2014 I will take a look later. It's strange as the page directed to under their entry doesn't mention it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cactus Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 That page exists in Extermination because it's presenting new options for the previously published army list. As LACAL consolidates everything in one place it would be redundant. Unfortunately it seems that Forge World neglected to add the relevant rule to the cortex controller entry on page 89. Oops.

Daemon2027 Posted September 11, 2014 Author Share Posted September 11, 2014 I thought that might be the case. I sent them an email to confirm. No reply yet, hopefully because they are packing my Gorgons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperors Teeth Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Check the Forge Lord consul rules in the LACAL book, I think it's mentioned there; the same place where his Cortex Controller upgrade is listed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atia Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 " Any Forge Lord in a Space Marine Legion Crusade army may take a Cortex Controller in addition to theit usual options for .... If at least one model so equipped is present in the army then either a single Castelax unit or a single Thallax Cohort without Augment upgrades may be taken as a Heavy Support choice for that force.

Daemon2027 Posted October 18, 2014 Author Share Posted October 18, 2014 Yeah I was using the two mini books I got with the collectors addition. Forge World emailed me and said that they didn't include the information in those books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
