Quick Deathwing rules question

[empchildrenbob]

since belial can upgrade a termie squad to have an apothecary and a standard, does upgrading to an apothecary replace a termies th/ss? or does it keep both?

[JamesI]

The Apothecary would keep their weapons.

[Master Toddius]

James is correct. The List is very flexible. You could effectively have an apothecary with th/ss and cyclone missile launcher.

yes as well as have the banner carrier have a TH/SS or Claws, makes the Deathwing command squad even more awesome and lets you wound allocate

[EPK]

Think of the banner bearer and apothecary upgrade as simply adding additional wargear to two terminators. Which as stated above, makes them unique from everyone else in the squad.

 

Side note, as far as who gets TH/SS, unless all 5 terminators are getting them, it's best to put them on the other members of the unit. This way you can allocate any regular save neglecting wounds to them at 3++ while your Apoth/Banner Bearer can still simply take 2+.
