minigun762 Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 I am hoping someone can confirm that taking a Storm Shield on a Command Squad Vet doesn't give up anything. I am still left with both the CCW and pistol. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/280336-command-squads-and-storm-shields/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
RazorDaemon Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 "Any Veteran may take any of the following: Melta Bombs.....................5pts/model Storm Shield.....................10pts/model" Confirming that a Storm Shield is only added, it does not replace anything unless they specifically say so in a future FAQ/Errata.

Hyuzanriu Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 You cannot, however, claim an extra attack for having a CCW and a pistol when you have a stormshield. Unless you were just asking for purposes of swapping out equipment.

minigun762 Posted September 16, 2013 Author Share Posted September 16, 2013 RazorDaemon, thanks. That was understanding as well. Hyuzanriu, why is that? I'm still left with two CCWs not counting the shield.

Hyuzanriu Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Look at page 125, "A model equipped with a storm shield can never claim the +1 attack gained for being equipped with two melee weapons in an assault."

RazorDaemon Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Yes, the no Additional Attacks for CCW is mentioned in the Storm Shield's entry. Think of it as the same concept as having both a Bolter and Bolt Pistol. You can't use both of them in the same Shooting Phase, difference being the rules don't allow you to choose to use the pistol and CCW for a single turn, it would be the unit switching between the pistol and CCW in the same hand, Storm Shield staying put always.
