Opinions on Apothecary

Recommended Posts

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?

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.

Edited... Don't know why I thought apothecary could choose wargear...

Exactly... And now the 85pts of standard of fortitude don't seem THAT expensive do they? :P

...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
