Xenith Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 So then here is a question, since assault squads can get a pod for free by ditching their jumppacks, do you actually pay for the points still to upgrade the weapons, or is at a free potd with free upgrades. When it says upgrade the model to a veteran sergeant for 10pts, do you get all his wargear for free? ;) You get a free drop pod, not a free drop pod with deathwind launcher.

Rizara Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 No you don't because that sergeant upgrade isn't gear it's master change usually an extra attack and leadership.m the free drop pod is just that a free drop pod which says nothing about upgrades. The drop pods are much cheaper stock than a rhino but only a meltabomb more expensive than a rhino which is a lot closer on points than the cheaper pod option. So yes, your get a better points value when you exchange these jumppacks for a rhino than the pod, but that death wing pod is a bit more attention grabbing than a rhino. So your example isn't exaclty the same quality in regards to upgrades as a vet sergeant upgrade is a stats change not a wargear difference.

Well. It is exactly that, in that you get an extra profile, but not any of the optional extras. You pay 10pts, you get a veteran sergeant, not a veteran sergeant with a powerfist. You swap your jump packs and get a free drop pod, not a free drop pod with deathwind launcher :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
