Now that the poop is well stirred and we are talking about how many
terminators can dance on the head of a pin inside a Land Raider, lets go
on to some thing that will cause REAL fun, Legion specific cheeze wizz.

There are of course 20 legions of the first founding. For those that
care they are:

1. Dark Angels
2. Unknown
3. Emperor's Children *
4. Iron Warriors *
5. White Scars
6. Space Wolves
7. Imperial Fists
8. Night Lords *
9. Blood Angels
10. Iron Hands
11. Unknown
12. World Eaters *
13. Ultra Marines
14. Death Guard *
15. Thousand Sons *
16. Lunar Wolves nee Suns of Horus nee Black Legion *
17. World Bearers *
18. Salamanders
19. Raven Guard
20. Alpha Legion *

* Traitor Legion

Legion specific rules for Traitor Legions:
None. You get the Codex as it stands.

Legion specific rules for loyal legions other than Space Wolves, Blood
Angels, Dark Angels & Ultramarines.
None. You get the Codex also.

The special 4 legions:
If you do a "special" regiment, you may only choose platoons listed in
that regiment list. I.e. no robots in a Space Wolf Drop Regiment

Space Wolves:
You may follow the Codex or you may be a "Drop Regiment".
The over all lay out of the drop regiment is the same as a Codex
regiment, how the min-max on platoons is different and a drop pod
platoon has other options.

Tactical Platoons - Up to 8 per regiment
Assault Platoons - unlimited
Devastator Platoon - Up to 6 per regiment
Terminator Platoon - Up to 12 per regiment
Support Weapons Platoons - Up to 6 per regiment
Dreadnoughts Platoons - Up to 8 per regiment
Jet Bike Platoons - Unlimited
Land Speeder Platoons - Unlimited
Recon Platoons - Up to 4 Per regiment
Bike Platoons - Up to 6 per regiment
Armor Platoons - Up to 4 per regiment
Ordinatus Platoon - Up to 4 per regiment.

Drop Pod Platoon - Unlimited 120 pts.
Enough pods for 2 platoons
or
4 Support Pods
or
6 Death Wind Pods
or
2 Thunderbolt drop ships.
[NOTE the cost of drop ships may go up, in WD-126 they all cost the
same. A Thunder Bolt is NOT a Thunder Hawk with a different name]

A total of 8 platoons per regiment may be mounted in either Land Raiders
or Rhinos. That is a total of 8, regardless of mount, not 8 of each
type of mount.

If the Epic 41K rules are in use, the cost of Forward Observers is 80%
as normal for Drop Regiments.


Blood Angels:

NO DEATH COMPANY. THE WINGED ONE IS STILL ALIVE
