RastlinD Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Hi just a quick question. If you upgrade sternguard with a combi-weapon do they lose their special ammo? The reason I ask is because in order to get the combi-weapon it codex states replace their bolter. Thanks.

Grand Admiral Thrawn Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 No, you keep your special ammo. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/175231-sternguard-and-combi-weapons/#findComment-2071036 Share on other sites More sharing options...
nighthawks Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 this has been gone over a bunch already, mostly when the codex was still the newest thing going. short summary: combi-weapons are still bolters. they still get special issue amunition. storm bolters, bolt pistols, heavy bolters, etc... are NOT "bolters" even though they share the same core technology per the fluff. they cannot use special ammo.

Does this mean a Captain with a combi-flamer can use hellfire rounds?

Isiah Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 this has been gone over a bunch already, mostly when the codex was still combi-weapons are still bolters. they still get special issue amunition.storm bolters, bolt pistols, heavy bolters, etc... are NOT "bolters" even though they share the same core technology per the fluff. they cannot use special ammo. Does this mean a Captain with a combi-flamer can use hellfire rounds? Given the summary by nighthawks then yes he could as the combi-flamer is still a boltgun – with a flamer added. See Codex SM p97 on combi-weapons: "Combi-weapons are bolters that have been specially modified [...]. Each has been expertly converted to house another weapon, [...]" and elsewhere in that section reference is made to the 'bolter'.
