Axagoras Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 If a model has a bolt pistol and a bolter can they trade the pistol for a special weapon (assuming they have access to it)? I want to say no because a pistol is only treated as a CCW in the assault phase. Am I reading this right?

Bryan Blaire Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 It doesn't matter what a weapon is treated as, it matters whether the rule states you can trade a bolt pistol for the weapon. You would have to provide a unit entry or list for us to look at to make an actual determination.

Lysere Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Special weapons require Melee weapons or a bolter to trade. Bolt pistols are listed in the codex as Ranged weapons. Also note FAQ about bike squad being able to trade the pistol for a CCW.
