ironking Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Hi, I recently played my regular small point list including 2 sets of 10 GH, 1 with MotW and Melta, 1 with Melta and 1 with Wolf Standard, 1 with Power Sword... Immediately my opponent (playing Grey Knights) said - "Hey wait, you can't have a GH with MotW AND a Melta - that's two upgrades - you can't do that!" I mentioned it was pretty stock standard for the US based lists - to which he said - "This is South Africa, and we don't follow the weird US rules", I replied that it was standard in UK lists too. Any comments / insight into what the rules say about having more than 1 upgrade per GH? For eg. you could, if you were so inclined, replace 1 GH's bolter with a plasma gun, his bolt pistol with a plasma pistol, give him a sword and the standard and give him MotW (not that it would make any sense) but you could do it right? Or is it in fact 1 upgrade per model? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/259988-motw-melta-question-gh-squad/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wulfebane Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 There is nothing anywhere in the rulebook that states you cannot make as many upgrades as you want on any model, so long as your codex legally allows the upgrades and you can afford the cost. If that guy wants to employ house rules, that's fine, but he's definitely wrong.

dswanick Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 All upgrades except the second special weapon start with "One Grey Hunter may" with no limitations that it be a different model.

Bearingtheword Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 In fact the older Space Wolf Standard Bearer minis are modeled with a Powerfist....So that's two upgrades on a GW sanctioned model right there.....Sounds like the guy was just being a drivel cause you are a Yank..... ~BtW As a side note, my Word Bearers icon bearers are each modeled with an icon and either a melta or a flamer depending on the squad and I've never had anyone raise an issue with it because it IS perfectly legal. Edit: @Dswanick Regarding the sig quote you have from -Max-.... i wonder if anyone has ever painted their sisters with Catholic School Girl plaid skirts......*ponders* :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/259988-motw-melta-question-gh-squad/#findComment-3164179 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valerian Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Perfectly valid. One of my MotW models also carries the Wolf Standard for his pack, while two other Standard Bearers have been upgraded with Power Axes. There are advantages and disadvantages to consolidating upgrades onto models, with primary disadvantage being that if that models dies, you lose multiple items at once.
