XVI Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 (I only have HH vol. 1 and not sure this question was answered in later books) Hello, fellow HH players, I have a question. On HH vol.1 pg. 189, "Master of the Legion" section, it is written "A model with this rule may also include a Command squad as a retinue as part of the same selection on the Force Organisation chart (see page 184) On pg. 186, "Primarch" section, it is written "Primarch also incorporates the effects of a number of other special rules.... Master of the Legion (see page 189) And lastly, on pg. 193, "Retinue" section on Legion Command Squad Entry, it is written "A Legion Command Squad may only be chosen as a retinue for a Legion Praetor...." So... can a Primarch take a Command squad or not? I blame this on FW authors. I really hope Command squad and Legion Command Squad (capital "S" right there) are not two different things....

Sevatar Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 I assume so. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/292324-primarch-and-the-legion-command-squad-question/#findComment-3715392 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonkin Arenis Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 I would assume this is a small oversight by the HH authors, and that since Primarchs have the rule, they can have Command Squads.

hisdudeness Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 That's "40k thinking" that has no place in 30k. Yes, a Primarch can take a Command Squad.

KJB Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 How dare you blame Forge World authors? Alan Bligh et al. are untouchable in these parts of the B&C... But yeah, a small oversight I think...

Millicant Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 I can confirm this, as I emailed them to ask. Any unit with the Master of the Legion special rule may take a command squad.

SW1 Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Stop thinking like a rules lawyer. The quote on 193 is how you'd normally get a command squad. Primarchs also have access to them as can be seen by their entry. A sprinkling of common sense does wonders. Anyway with the new broken rules for 40k this sort of issue won't be an issue. Just take whatever you want.

Durfast Spiritwolf Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Yes, the can. I also emailed FW on this one. We have a sticky on Heresy 30k for such errata, time for one here Capt S?
