Verseau Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 Why GH can ultra grit but WG can't ??? edit: * The rule says: "Any Wolf Guard model may replace bolt pistol and/or close combat weapon with" C:SM 5e pg.128 "Where an option states that you may exchanged one weapon 'and/or' another, you may replace either, neither or both provided you pay the stated points cost" doesn't that means WG can add boltgun but still keeping his bolt pistol and CCW ? * Just as Logan have Relentless which could aspire the unit he joined. I am thinking: 10 WG PA bolt pistol CCW + boltgun which is free = 180 point Dont you think it will be cool to have Logan + WG Move > Rapid Fire (22 shoots) > Assault (46 attacks) its total 68 hits!!!

Stormshrug Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 Huh. That does sound suspiciously like that works, actually. I have it on p. 128 of the codex, though. Regional printing thing, maybe? In any case, I expect odd shenanigans to ensue from this, if it actually works the way it looks like it should. -Stormshrug Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/196235-why-gh-can-ultra-grit-but-wg-cant/#findComment-2337635 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just imagine there's a greedy WG which collecting all of the weapon available for him: Wolf Guard in Power Armor with Bolt Pistol and Close Combat Weapon DONT PUT UP POINT COST OF ITEMS TOTAL 211pt with that many weapons, he could deal anything crosses his path !!! :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/196235-why-gh-can-ultra-grit-but-wg-cant/#findComment-2337651 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Wilhelm Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 You can't grab rules from a different Codex, even if it talking about the same thing, and then implement it with your Codex. The Wolf guard has a pistol + sword He can have a gun + pistol He can have a gun + sword That is just the way it is. +++ Where it says either/neither/both (which is page 128, btw) it means you can buy one item (and therefore replace one item), you can buy no items (and therefore replace no items) or you can buy two items (and therefore replace both items) :D So what you have quoted does not work the way you thought it did, anyway.

NovaScotius Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 Though I'd like it to work, I don't think it should work. The "either, neither or both" part is a little ambiguous; the "neither" part most likely referring to the fact that you are not compelled to take different options and give up your original kit. Also, the Wolf Guard entry uses the word "replace", suggesting that you have to give up the original equipment to take the Bolter. If I took away your Bolt Pistol and gave you a Bolter, I have 'replaced' your Bolt Pistol. If I give you a Bolter without taking any of your original equipment away, what is it that you have 'replaced' with the Bolter? Though I'd like it to work, I don't think it does :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/196235-why-gh-can-ultra-grit-but-wg-cant/#findComment-2337655 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormshrug Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 Edit: Good point, Willhelm. Although I think you could make a case for RAW because of poor wording, RAI is clear. Still, dual-wielding combi-weapons is totally in! -Stormshrug Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/196235-why-gh-can-ultra-grit-but-wg-cant/#findComment-2337721 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey Mage Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 Excuse me, but that wording in C:SM is to allow a person to not exchange ANY of the options and keep the base equipment.

You're definitely right that that's what they meant. The wording is obnoxiously ambiguous, though. -Stormshrug Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/196235-why-gh-can-ultra-grit-but-wg-cant/#findComment-2337724 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grey Mage Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 Quite alright... the learning curve would be alot harder if everyone had to learn every codex in the game! But, that being said once you have a solid grasp of all of our rules, and all the main rules, feel free to read other armies aswell- its always good to know your opponents abilities and you might find another army youd like to play.

The Trickster Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 its also in another codex therefore it doesn't pertain to us Though it does not matter. I would just point out that the wording from page 128 og C:SM also is i C:SW on page 81 under options.

whitewolfmxc Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 although it doesnt work as the OP thought , +1 point for bringing up (kind of) that there's no rule in any codex or rulebook saying a model can only take a certain amount of weapon its also in another codex therefore it doesn't pertain to us Though it does not matter. I would just point out that the wording from page 128 og C:SM also is i C:SW on page 81 under options.

I agree with your interpretation of the rule in question, but as an aside, isn't the fact that other Codexes were jumping for joy about countercharge the reason that our FAQ was FAQ'd so quickly to remove furious countercharge! :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/196235-why-gh-can-ultra-grit-but-wg-cant/#findComment-2341046 Share on other sites More sharing options...
