LutherMax Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 So, got my codex and a box of Rangers - really looking forward to trying them out in a game! Question though - the codex says two (or three in a 10-man unit) can replace their galvanic rifles with items from the Special Weapons list. But, there is no Special Weapons list in the codex, just Ranged Melee and Vehicle Equipment. What gives?

Brother Tyler Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 My digital version has the Special Weapons list. It includes the arc rifle, transuranic arquebus, and plasma caliver. If it is, indeed, missing from the print version, I imagine we'll see it (hopefully) soon in an errata.

Ordo Machinum Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Yes, they blended them into the Armoury of the Forge Worlds towards the back yet their points costs are 16 pages earlier. The Omnissiah makes the design and we are to follow His path...

Grand Master Laertes Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 It is because special weapons are ranged weapons, and it has always been that way for as far as I can remember (which is twenty years) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/306674-special-weapons-list-missing-from-skitarri-codex/#findComment-4020373 Share on other sites More sharing options...
LutherMax Posted April 25, 2015 Author Share Posted April 25, 2015 It is because special weapons are ranged weapons, and it has always been that way for as far as I can remember (which is twenty years) You have a long memory :D But why not have a sub-section of Ranged Weapons with a subtitle Special Weapons? And, why not list Special Weapons in the contents? On the Datasheet it says "... May take items from the Special Weapons list". No page number is given (although a page ref is given for Ranged and Special Wargear). So when I see that where am I going to go to find it? The contents, right? But it's not there. Poor design if you ask me...

I'm just wondering because you seem to think this here book should make sense. When has GW ever made sense ?

Poor design if you ask me... I am old :P That has never been done for what is a special weapon for a unit might be a basic equipment for another, so adding a dedicated subsection might have caused more problems than it solved ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/306674-special-weapons-list-missing-from-skitarri-codex/#findComment-4020477 Share on other sites More sharing options...
LutherMax Posted April 26, 2015 Author Share Posted April 26, 2015 Hmmm..... Fair enough.... Perhaps.... But you really think it correct to not have a little line in the contents; - Special Weapons 56 ...?
