Pandemicus Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 I'm new to HH and I think this is a stupid question but I'm not clear on it: For Support Squads and Heavy Support Squads it says that if upgrading to a different weapon then all must be upgraded to the same weapon. Now, does that mean if you choose to upgrade only 2 (out of 5 Marines) then those 2 MUST have the same weapon, OR does it mean that ALL 5 must be given that same special weapon? It seems silly to me, but I'm assembling models and want to do this right. Thanks a bunch.

Pandemicus Posted July 26, 2016 Author Share Posted July 26, 2016 That's a lot of heavy weapons, I'm not used to that concept, as in 40K its limited to only a few in the squad (like Devastators) Thanks for the clarification.

Slips Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Yeah, but a 10 Man Lascannon Squad is ~300 points and its still just MEQ ie: not that hard to actually kill.

Pandemicus Posted July 26, 2016 Author Share Posted July 26, 2016 Understood. I just didn't want to make a 5 man squad with just 2 heavy/special weapons as all 5 would need it Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/324214-support-squads-and-heavy-support-squads/#findComment-4451284 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishagu Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 You can't run point efficient MSU squads like you can in 40k. It's all or nothing.

Emperors Teeth Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Yeah, but a 10 Man Lascannon Squad is ~300 points and its still just MEQ ie: not that hard to actually kill. I wish! Coming closer to 450pts for those 10 lascannons... which is probably why you never see that squad, sadly.
