Captain_Krash Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Rather a simple question but one that had me thinking... Was just looking around our codex out of boredom and noticed that company commander can take one. Don't know why I never noticed it before... Is it worth the points? I mean he's more than likely going to be stationary most of his limited life on the tabletop so you would maximize his salvo potential. Thoughts?

WarriorFish Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Are you sure? Sounds like an odd choice and I can't remember seeing it either! I would consider the points better spent on keeping him alive anyway, one extra gun isn't going to make a huge difference. If you want hotshots best to take some Stormies :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/330529-viability-of-hot-shot-volley-gun-on-company-commander/#findComment-4641210 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emicus Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 They can't take 'em... Unless the digital codex has had a stealth buff. Otherwise id go no: Company commanders are not typically worth it and neither is their gear. Fluff wise: Hells yeah! I even like to give mine all the bling including the fisticuffs relic Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/330529-viability-of-hot-shot-volley-gun-on-company-commander/#findComment-4641228 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain_Krash Posted February 2, 2017 Author Share Posted February 2, 2017 I was really tired while reading it haha. I don't have it in front of me but doesn't it say under special weapons "Hot shot Volley Gun" with a small 2 at the end. Then at the end of the weapon page number 2 states "Can only be taken by company commander" Krash Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/330529-viability-of-hot-shot-volley-gun-on-company-commander/#findComment-4641231 Share on other sites More sharing options...
our_baz Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 karsh has it right, just checked my copy and it reads verbatim as above. Still no sane reason to run it mind you. Other than rule of cool.

Captain_Krash Posted February 2, 2017 Author Share Posted February 2, 2017 Hmm I find it interesting to say the least...well at least I wasn't dreaming it up in my head lol may have to try it out. As I've literally never heard anyone ever giving it a go. That and the modeling potential sounds amazing to me.

Harrowmaster Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 According to the hard back codex the company commander does not have access to the special weapons list where the volley gun is located. The footnote specifies it is only usable by storm troopers. You may be thinking of the shotgun which is an option for the company commander.

On further inspection it Looks like I can read but not comprehend! The 2 after the hot shot volley gun refers to footnote below the special weapons, not the notes the the right which refer to heirlooms of conquest.
