New SM Codex

[vim_the_good]

With the old rules I had 4 Tac squads

 

I

1 serg

4 marines (One with Heavy Bolter)

 

II

1 serg

4 marines (One with Heavy Bolter)

 

III

1 serg

4 marines (One with Rocket Launcher and one with Plasma rifle)

 

IV

1 serg

4 marines (One with Flamer)

 

Now from what I can understand from the New Codex I have to have a ten man squad before I can start taking Heavy or special weapons.

Is this correct??

 

Cheers for any help :D

Yes: this is the way it is now.

 

I think it was to stop small, cheap, multitudinous, but very powerful squads. A game balance thing I expect.

[Frosty the Pyro]

indeed, on the other hand special/heavy weapons are cheaper now, and with combat squading you can acheive something very close to your old set up.

[Hfran Morkai]

It was the las/plas squad of doom with Razorback, such a thing was nasty when the opponent had like four of them.

OK

Thanks all for verifying that and replying so fast.

I suppose at the end of the day I just have to replace one of the heavy weapons to force my army to comply with the rules.

 

Thanks all :D
