I have a question about combining armies. How do you?
Here is my not-so-unique situation.
I have 3 armies in service to The God-Emperor (may his beneficence be praised and so forth)
Imperial Guard
Space Marines (Salamanders)
Space Wolves
The other fellow I play 40k with most commonly has a massive (3500+) Tyranids army. I want to be able to combine my comparitively smaller armies to combat his chittering swarm. He's been commenting lately that he wants to field his entire collection. However, I know that drawing from two (or in some cases three) different codeces confers a marked advantage to me. I was wondering if there was already some system for balancing this and what the specifics are. Further, I wanted to know what adjustments (if any) need to be made to the Force Org Chart to accomadate this. He wants to reenact a Starship Troopers-esque (big surprise) climactic battle against my guardsmen and I think it would be a perfect way to balance things if several Astartes dropped in to bolster the beleagured Guardsmen. Any suggestions for balancing things (does he need a points allotment advantage to compensate for my drawing from mulitple codeces?) would be welcome. Thanks for your time
