Legion Specific Wargear and Named Characters-Rules Question


Landrick

Recommended Posts

Specifically right now I am looking at Ultramarines, but i would assume this applies to any legion. Under Legatine Axe it says that "Any independent character may upgraded with one of these for X points."

 

My question is, can named Characters like Remus Ventaunus take the upgrade?

 

Does the same apply to the legion relics?

I agree, but not for that reason. The legatine Axe entry actually says:

 

Any model with the Independent Character type and with the Legiones Astartes (Ultramarines) special rule may exchange a chainsword or combat blade for a Legatine axe for +20 points.
Remus Ventanus does not have a chainsword or combat blade, so he cannot make that exchange.

 

If the rules said what Landrick wrote, you could give a named character the Legatine axe. "Any independent character" also includes named ones.

ok, i see. thanks for the clarification

FW don't knkw what they are doing.

 

Our group houserules that you cannot, for the reason that if they could have an option, it would be listed (Like Khârn with legacy, or eidolon with JP). That is Rules As Common Sense dictates, and something that should be applied equally.

 

That said, as written, it allows one thing, and all to often is only used when people are looking for benefits.rather than negativrs (such as Maun cannot join another unit, then have that unit start in his DT, or Alpha Legion mutable tactics abd Coils of the Hydra interactions for example).

 

Don't put stock in 'RAW' at all. FW don't know their own game. Always check with tourny runners beforehand, or agree among friends.
