captain sox Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Hi everyone, I have a game this week! First game since April, and I have a question. The Librarian model in DV comes with a Force Sword, which oddly is not in the Librarian entry in the Codex. I'm putting the Libby in my list, and need to figure out his points cost. Am I missing an update, FAQ or something? Thanks PS, not looking for his points cost, just where the Force Sword upgrade is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captain sox Posted November 19, 2012 Author Share Posted November 19, 2012 :) :blush: :blush: Ooooooh dear. My Codex reading skills are a bit slow. I made sense of the entry. Force weapon is standard. Never used a Libby before. Forgiveness please. My game may not go well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was under the impression that our Librarians come with a Force Weapon as standard in the codex? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cypher 102 Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 If you're talking about the current Dark Angels Codex then the librarian comes standard with a force weapon. In the prior editions there was no difference between a force sword or axe or staff. So when an entry says a model can have a force weapon (or power weapon for that matter) you go with what type of weapon is on the model. What I'm not sure on is if an entry says force (or power) sword like our Deathwing sergeant entry do you get a choice or do you have to take a power sword.

You would have to take a Sword in that case. The choice about Power Weapons has come about because it's easier than FAQing every codex. If it states explicitly what kind of weapon a model is carrying then that's the weapon they're going to have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EPK Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 It's a force weapon, so you can technically have a Librarian with any variation (Staff, Sword, Axe, etc.) from that one entry without worrying about any upgrades or what not. Howeve, for gaming purposes, it needs to go by what's on the model (unless your opponent doesn't mind a proxy I suppose) - so the DV Libby has a sword, but you could always convert. Zeke on the other hand specifically has a "sword" in his entry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Immolator Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Ours say force weapon, thereby you get to choose what it is. OFC the model has a say on the matter. And the DV one has a sword. I prefer staff/maul myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harleqvin Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Like they said. Our says Force Weapon. SO it is done based off the models weapon. If it's modeled with a sword then it's a Force Sword. If modeled with a staff then a Force Staff and so on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven of the Wing Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 The point where, what's on the model is what you use. also has its advantages when you come up against someone with a force axe, initiative 1. Lol, take that from my ap3 power sword mr Libby with no invunrble saves...spelling bad :D In other word if you have a Libby with axe chop it off!!!!
