RookBartly Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Ok. I'm reading over the new dex and I was wondering if I am reading this right.... Can Sister Superiors take two plasma pistols still? "A model can replace one weapon with one of the following..." Does that mean that she can replace a bolter for _____ and her pistol for _____ or does it mean she can only replace a single weapon?

David Ravel Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 As I understand it, the ''can replace ONE weapon'' means that you can replace one of the weapon of the model, period. Not that it needs one weapon to be replaced. Just as you can't take two boltgun or two different combi-. It would indeed be awesome, but I don't see how that would be.

Bishope Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 "A model can replace one weapon with one of the following" I think this is just the verbiage left over from an old edition. My CSM codes reads as "A model can replace his bolt pistol and/or close combat weapon with one of the following", so you can have a lighting claw and a power fist, or two plasma pistols. I play Sisters too and thought of it as replacing ONE weapon for another ONE weapon, but you were able to replace both. Not sure I ever ran a Sister Superior with two pistols, but I don't think my FLGS would have an issue with it since I know that (at least most of) the other codexes can do that. If you and I were playing a game together, I would have no issue with you using a plasma pistol slinging Canoness or Sister Superior. So in short, I guess you need to go ask your FLG, lol.

Fibonacci Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Bishope, that is usually how GW dieerentiates between the options. The "and/or" options can be taken multiple times. "One for one" is a one time only option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RookBartly Posted May 28, 2014 Author Share Posted May 28, 2014 The last codex said "and/or" for them but this one now says "can replace one". A plasma gun slinger was very awesome. Being characters you could choose what model if you rolled a six. I figured it ment only one weapon. In just am because I now have 4 more models I can't use anymore. Getting tired of having more and more models that I can use. Every new dex it seems like I have several models that I use I can't anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fibonacci Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 If it is any consolation, characters no longer have Precision Shots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RookBartly Posted May 28, 2014 Author Share Posted May 28, 2014 In just am = I'm just mad now I will miss having two high AP shots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Ravel Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Rereading it and looking at how it was ruled in Army Builder, I could see indeed someone arguing for it. Just ask your gaming group I guess. I will do the same. Could be awesome to have two plasma shot and the extra attack in CC ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fibonacci Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 If someone asked me if they could take 2 plasma pistols on their sgt or superior I would always say yes. I'm all for looking cool and besides, I don't think the weapon is worth 15 points much lees 30 points on a slightly better than cannon fodder squad leader. There is no way a second PP could be considered over powered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Furyou Miko Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 I've never subscribed to the interpretation that "replace one weapon with one of the following" means you can only do it once. It just means that you can't replace two weapons with one weapon, or vice versa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
