NovaScotius Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Hi all, I've got a potentially stupid question about Tactical Squad Sergeants and how they can be equipped. In the LACAL book, it gives the whole Tactical Squad the option of swapping Bolters for Combat Blades or Chainswords, or to purchase an additional Combat Blade or Chainsword for a set amount of points. It then goes on to give the Sergeant options; one of which is to swap his Chainsword for another item. The crux of my question is, can the Sergeant purchase the additional Chainsword, and then go on to swap it for a Power Fist, leaving him with a Bolter, Bolt Pistol and the Power Fist? It seems like this is what the rules were intending, but I don't want to go and build a Sergeant like that if I'll just have to pull him apart later! Thanks!

lokkorex Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 I... think you can do that, i believe i have seen people make sergeant models with boltgun and power fist, but i'm not at all sure about this.

Hesh Kadesh Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 You must purchase the entire squad chainswords, or have all of them swap. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/319965-tactical-sergeant-upgrades/#findComment-4325026 Share on other sites More sharing options...
NovaScotius Posted March 3, 2016 Author Share Posted March 3, 2016 I appreciate that the entire squad has to either purchase the Chainswords or swap their Bolters for them, my query is whether after purchasing them, can the Sergeant then immediately give up his Chainsword in order to purchase a Power Fist, or does this stray into the murky realms of sequential upgrades?

Carlson793 Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Since the sergeant does not start out with a chainsword, he would only be able to upgrade a swapped/purchased chainsword. In other words (and to your point): squad gains chainswords, then sergeant exchanges it for a power fist. Totally legal exchange.

Hesh Kadesh Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Sequential upgrades are fine. The only one that people have issue with are World Eaters getting Chainaxes for free on top of BP and Bolters, because of terrible wording.

Lord Tharand Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 I believe the answer is yes and this is how it works in Battlescribe (which I know isn't official in any way).
