KGatch113 Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 I'm not seeing a line that says when we pull characters from the main Marine list for Captains, Libs and Chappies that they get access to SIA. Can someone point out if our characters do get access and where the proof is? Thanks!

Kargrym Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Valid question. Prot pointed it out on the Deathwatch vs Tyranids battle on the twitch.tv/warhammer stream leading up to 8th ed release. The commentators basically said don't be daft, of course they do. Then they actually found that SIA is an ability and that nothing said they GET the ability added to the Captain/Lib/Chaplin sheets. So they said that it will be pointed out to the design team. Expect it to be FAQed. shandwen, Vel'Cona and KGatch113 3 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/335850-am-i-missing-something-characters-and-sia/#findComment-4802383 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vel'Cona Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Off-topic, but I love that FAQ is now a verb. :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/335850-am-i-missing-something-characters-and-sia/#findComment-4802475 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sigvard Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 For reference folks - I posted this to the 40k Facebook, along with generic characters not getting access to faction specific wargear a la Space Wolves and Blood Angels. They have noticed this and it is unintentional and they have said to stand by for an Errata.

Kargrym Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Every time I say FAQed, I hear it in my head like hitting someone with a rolled newspaper. FAQed!!!

Ordo Xenos Inquisitor Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 I always believed that they always had Special Issue Ammunition despite their generic sheet saying otherwise so long as they are using the appropriate weapon. I am adhering to that rather than follow the datasheet literally.

Iron Lord Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 "The following abilities are common to several Deathwatch units" ATSKNF, SIA There's something simllar for Dark Angels: "The following abilities are common to several Dark Angels units" ATSKNF, Unforgiven, Jink But not every Dark Angels unit brought in from the main codex, gets Unforgiven - only ones upgraded to Deathwing. However - I could see the clarification being made that all [Deathwatch] units gain SIA.

Irbis Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 I always believed that they always had Special Issue Ammunition despite their generic sheet saying otherwise so long as they are using the appropriate weapon. Buuut... Is the master crafted boltgun, considering altered statline, a different weapon? Honestly, I'd prefer SIA to stop being ability and be back to DW guns profile thing. And no price hikes on DW characters, please shandwen 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/335850-am-i-missing-something-characters-and-sia/#findComment-4803920 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macabre Slanneshi Prince Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 I'd love SIA on a MC Bolter, but I won't do that until there's explicit confirmation. Just using SIA on them is far enough for now.
