marine7312000 Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 I decided to post this up for general assistance as I was curious myself. Our legion equipment allows us to swap heavy flamers for Assault cannons. I've gone through the CAL book as well as book 5 and 6. Here are what units can swap weapons broken down by Force Org slot: HQ Command squad in terminator armour Elite Veteran Tactical squad Terminator squad Dreadnought talon (DCC in-built weapon) Contermptor Talon Contemptor Cortus Talon Dedicated Transport Rhino Fast Attack Attack Bike squadron Tarantula Sentry gun (Twin-linked) Land speeder Squadron Javelin attack Speeder Squadron Heavy Support Heavy Support squad Predator squadron Land raider squadron Vindicator and squadron Spartan Deredeo Leviathan Talon LOW Stormblade (Multiple options to replace) Cerberus Typhon Falchion Malcador (Multiple options) Fellblade Mastodon Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/320228-what-blood-angels-units-can-take-assault-cannons/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atia Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Maybe you should post that in the AoD sub-forum instead ? Edit: Thanks Slips ^_^ Can you swap a twin linked flamer for a twin linked assault cannon?

Slips Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 I didnt do anything since I have no power in the BA Forum :p Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/320228-what-blood-angels-units-can-take-assault-cannons/#findComment-4332517 Share on other sites More sharing options...
marine7312000 Posted March 11, 2016 Author Share Posted March 11, 2016 The rule swap a heavy flamer for an assault cannon, it doesn't specify between twin linked. I didnt do anything since I have no power in the BA Forum But Jolemai may have moved this.

Charlo Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 The twin linked one is a two way argument though... It's hard because it doesn't specify, so why not? But also... Why? Is a twin linked heavy flamer, for all intents and purposes still just a heavy flamer? The same argument is with outriders and plasma repeaters for dark angels.

marine7312000 Posted March 11, 2016 Author Share Posted March 11, 2016 Question posed to FW, will update when I have a reply. Even though I'm guessing their answer will be their normal lately.

Omega-soul Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Well RAW- i think it still swaps only for non-twin-linked assault canon. Because the caseof predator one was actually specified that it will be TLed.

Please? :P Because the caseof predator one was actually specified that it will be TLed. The Predator one represents the Baal Predator though - and you don't exchange a heavy flamer there?

Hesh Kadesh Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Other specifications as with Dark Angels make mention of heavy bolters and Twin Linked Heavy Bolters having additional options, so there is that. I'm unsure as to how that integrates with Iron Warriors Shrapnel Shells, however.

Millicant Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Interesting point that was brought up in a related topic: The way it reads you must already HAVE the heavy flamer to swap it, not have the option to acquire it... Seems like it might be an oversight to me. Thoughts? Also - that list is super helpful for my project. Thanks!

I think you still *can* upgrade an heavy flamer, even if you bought him. but you have to pay the heavy flamer first, and than pay extra for the assault cannons, atleast thats how I read it :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/320228-what-blood-angels-units-can-take-assault-cannons/#findComment-4337968 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that's my reading too. That's also the way I wrote it into Battlescribe, so I'm glad that's the general opinion. :D Re-writes are a PAIN.
