Seahawk Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 So this goes along with the other weapon option thread, though it's a bit different. Here's what the option says: - Any Chaos Terminator may choose one of the following three options: --- Replace his power weapon with one of the following [ccw] --- Replace his combi-bolter with one of the following [combi-specials] --- Replace his combi-bolter and power weapon with a pair of lightning claws So...does this mean a model with a combi-special cannot take a different close combat weapon? Because I have an awful lot of combi-specials that will need arm rip-swaps if that's true. Unfortunately, that's what the wording seems to say. You may only choose one of the three options...which just plain sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey Mage Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 Looks like you better start swapping those arms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkGuard Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 Yup, that looks like what the wording is saying. Feel for you pal, still haven't gotten round to ripping off Sergeant's arms for 6h Ed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Idaho Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 Unfortuate but true. However, it is probably for balance reasons. After all, Chaos Marine Terminators chock-a-block with options on a select few models can play naughty games and have some models as fodder to protect all the goodies. They are so cheap though, so I guess it ain't all bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seahawk Posted October 6, 2012 Author Share Posted October 6, 2012 They're more expensive and worse than before. -_- Now Wolf Guard terminators are looking better and better... At least I have metal terminators, so the arms are easy to swap. The heavy weapon troopers can keep their chainfists, so that's something. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Idaho Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 Well, you can get 5 Terminators with Reaper Autocannon for 182pts, that's fairly cheap. With Veterans of the Long War you get a pretty good fighting unit in assaults against Space Marines, Ld 10 against all armies and still comining in cheaper than Space Marine Termintors without a Heavy Weapon. Add just a couple special weapons into the mix and a Chainfist (just in case) and you got a dangerous Terminator unit, particularly up close (how Terminators should be used) but with reasonable ranged power, all for a 219pts. That's miles better than regular Terminators. But I do feel for you brother; you shouldn't have to hack your models to pieces for such a small reason.

Lord Ragnarok Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 It seems really odd especially considering Kelly is the same author for SW's and Chaos M's. Hopefully this is not a future trend. Better yet, hopefully it is FAQ'd. But as it reads for now it is what we will have to accept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seahawk Posted October 6, 2012 Author Share Posted October 6, 2012 Idaho, I meant that they got worse than before. From 3.5 to 4, they went from 36 points each to 30 each for no stat change, and from 4 to 6 they went from 30 to 31 for a drop in Ld. Sure, compared to C:SM terminators they're still cheap, once you start adding in any useful upgrades, a 5 man squad of my liking tends to clock in at around 250ish. Besides, regular terminators get ATSKNF and combat tactics, which is so much better than Ld10 and marine-hate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
