Roma Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 The ordo malleus inquisitor in the GK codex, has been arrata'd so that "he may exchange any one weapon for a force sword" when he is upgraded to be a psyker. I take this to mean exactly what it saus. However can you take the sword without exchanging anything (aka does "may" refer to exchanging, or the whole statement. ...,, Also there has been a discussion: http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/30/537309.page Do grenades count as a weapon for exchange. Any clear answer to this yet? Thanks. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/283430-lets-rules-lawyer-may-exchange/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magpie Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Why is this even a question? "may exchange something for something else " if you don't exchange anything how can you be exchanging ? If you leave out the change bit "he may exchange one weapon for a force sword" becomes "may any one weapon for a force sword" ? You cannot exchange for a grenade because a grenade is not a weapon.

Roma Posted November 17, 2013 Author Share Posted November 17, 2013 P.s I know there is 0 reason to do have a force sword in this case, but still wonderingin regards to other hq's. @magpie where does it state it's nit a weapon. Id they faq it somewhere? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/283430-lets-rules-lawyer-may-exchange/#findComment-3524202 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey Mage Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Burden of proof is on you: prove a grenade is listed as weapon, not as wargear as is normally the case. In any case, what is clear is tat you have to exchange **something** to get the force sword.

Gentlemanloser Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 There's a FAQ somewhere that states you cannot Master Craft a Grenade, as it's not a Weapon. This was pre 6th, where you couldn't throw grenades in the shooting phase. Also, in the GK armory, Grenades are listed under the heading 'Grenades', not under 'Nemesis Force Weapons' or 'Weapons'.

Magpie Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Grenades are listed in the weapons section of the Rulebook but I have not seen any model anywhere that has in it's army listing a grenade entry anywhere other than the general "wargear" bit.

Quozzo Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Iirc they only changed the wording so he wouldn't be forced to part with a NDH should he also be a psyker. But i agree with everyone, in order to receive a weapon you must hand over another.
