Dark_Master Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Hello all, I was wondering if people allowed modifications to the apothecary loadout. I read the Codex that as soon as he is upgraded he's stuck with the chainsword. However being able to swap for a Bolter would be preferable in a dakka banner squad. Thoughts?

[TA]Typher Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 I haven't even asked my gaming circle. I don't think it would be right (at least in my local store). It's lame, but we're stuck with it. As bad as it is for the normal apoth to have only a chainsword, basically losing a bolt pistol, the Term Apoth loses a powerfist. A 25 point weapon that should offset the cost of the apoth's upgrade, but sadly it doesn't. If you think about it.. a PF cost 25 pts. You are basically paying 55pts for the DW Apoth upgrade.

Brother_Darius Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 At least in the RW command squad he maintains the boltgun via the bike Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/288959-opinions-on-apothecary/#findComment-3640548 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jehoel Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Actually Brother_Darius, a RW apothecary maintains the plasma talons, not a twinlinked boltgun. :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/288959-opinions-on-apothecary/#findComment-3640602 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Avoghai Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Edited... Don't know why I thought apothecary could choose wargear... If you think about it.. a PF cost 25 pts. You are basically paying 55pts for the DW Apoth upgrade Exactly... And now the 85pts of standard of fortitude don't seem THAT expensive do they? :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/288959-opinions-on-apothecary/#findComment-3640776 Share on other sites More sharing options...
shabbadoo Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 ...and it works on all units within 12", so a 24" bubble. Not bad for a further 30 points. Now, somebody help me beat some sense into Forgeworld to the purpose of having them make all of our missing standards/banners. :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/288959-opinions-on-apothecary/#findComment-3640829 Share on other sites More sharing options...
