I'm working on a new campaign where an allied army of Space Marines
(+ Im=
perial Guard?) and Eldars will have to fight a band of Orks and
Chaos adep=
ts on a planet called Xeneris... But Xeneris is a dying
world as Tyranids =
began to infest it.
As you can see this will be a terrible campaign but I m=
ust resolve
one big matter.
I want to make Chaos and Orks to fight in the=
same army but there is
a special Ork rule whichs says that all Ork initia=
tive counters can
be taken back with the others counters just before the A=
ssault
Phase... Chaos hasn't got the same rule so what can I do to mix the=
se
two armies? I don't want to sacrifice this Ork advantage but I don't
w=
ant to give an extra advantage to the Chaos too...
Honestly, I'd say just =
dump the special rule, although there are several possible solutions.
1)On=
ly get the bonus of orks are bulk of army, ie. it's an ork army with chaos =
allies, not the other way around.
2)Roll a d6. On a 4+ they get to put the=
counters back. (I'd only use this if the army was a decent percentage orks=
, not Chaos and one ork detachment.
3)Pick assault initiative twice, once =
with the extra counters, once without. If both win, then orks and chaos get=
to choose. If only orks win then the ork half of the army gets to choose a=
nd then the SM/Eldar allies, and then the Chaos part gets to Go.
The revers=
e is possible with Chaos winning and Orks loosing, although less likely.
T=
hose are my ideas. The first is the simplest. The second is simple, but not=
to accurate. The third is a bit complex, but I think fairly represents the=
complexity of such an alliance fairly well. sometimes it will be an advant=
age, sometimes not.
