The Unseen Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 I was trying to make a list on a builder program, and found I couldn't give scout sergeants either a hand flamer or infernus pistol, just plasma, a while back. Thought it was a mistake and went to check my book, and they don't have the option. Do people see this as intentional or just a weird typo that should be errated?

Omega-soul Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 it's intentional - infiltrating scout bikers with 2 infernopistols would be quite good back then.

The Unseen Posted November 20, 2015 Author Share Posted November 20, 2015 Not talking scout bikers, meant regular old scout sergeants. They can take combi-weapons, including the new grav hotness, which generally would serve much better. Just seems odd.

CaptainHelion Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 I'd say it's deliberate. Not entirely sure the reasoning, but it'll be there. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/316256-gimped-scout-sergeants/#findComment-4230019 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlo Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 It's probably because hand flamers and inferno are pretty sacred objects fluff wise, so they wouldn't risk them on scout missions. Crunch though? No idea. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/316256-gimped-scout-sergeants/#findComment-4230164 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenith Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 It's probably because hand flamers and inferno are pretty sacred objects fluff wise, so they wouldn't risk them on scout missions. And yet anyone in black armour can take one! I don't understand it, and it doesn't make sense.

sockwithaticket Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 It's the same as why we didn't get access to Contemptor, Chaplain or Mortis Dreads in IA:2 or how our Captains in the 5th ed. codex didn't have access to Artificer Armour. A little bit of GW's fethed notions of 'balance' and a little bit of incompetence/oversight (delete as applicable) they can't be bothered to deal with.
