Perpetual Dawn Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 So this was mentioned in another thread but thought I would ask without hijacking the thread (and forgive my poor search foo if this is already discussed).. In the codex the options say that one Grey Hunter may replace his bolter with one of the following: (flamer, melta and plasma).. The next option states that if the squad numbers ten, a second GH may replace his bolter with a weapon from the above list at no additional cost. I have always taken this to be if I take my first weapon as a flamer I can run with two flamers, but the way it reads suggest I can run a flamer as first choice and a plasma, which seems a bit off.. The faq states Q. Must a Grey Hunter unit that consists of ten models take the first special weapon at normal points cost in order to take the second free one? (p26) A. Yes. Is this just poorly worded as that to me reads the same way.. I take a flamer at normal price and take a plasma gun for free. Just a curiosity as I seem to run plasma melta or flamer in pairs, making the wording a mute point..

Valerian Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Moot point, not mute. Otherwise, you are correct, you can pick your upgrade choices in whatever order you wish, and are not forced to pay for the more expensive one first. As you stated, I believe the special weapons are more effective in pairs, and don't see the utility in putting a Flamer and Plasmagun in the same pack.

Perpetual Dawn Posted April 21, 2012 Author Share Posted April 21, 2012 Thanks for that.. That's the way I have always read it but wasn't sure if it was bending the rules..

Rune_Priest_Rhapsody Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 But taking a free flamer to get a free melta gun has never failed me. Gives the pack a little more umph!!
