Deathwatch Weapon Restrictions?

[Inquisitor Red]

Hey guys,

 

So after looking though the Index, and FAQs I had a few questions about the weapon restrictions to the Deathwatch. Thanks for clearing up this stuff! For the Watch!

 

1. Can Deathwatch Veterans take both a Boltgun and a Chain sword? From what I'm reading they can replace their Boltgun with two items from the weapon lists. Meaning that they're limited to a Bolt Pistol when equipped with a chain sword. I see a lot of posts on forums that say other wise, but maybe I'm just getting confused. 
2. Can the Deathwatch Razor Back take a Lascannon? I don't see it listed as an option in the Index, and I didn't see it in any FAQs. A part of me has to think this is a typo because on the Deathwatch Razorback box you see a lascannon on the back of the packaging.

1) Yes, you can. It says take two items total from the whole list. One part is up to two items, while the other part only allows you to take one from it (rifles like plasma, melta guns, bolters, etc.). Bolter is a part of this one item only list, while chainsword is part of the up to two list.

 

2) DW Razorbacks follow the SM datahseet, and the only restrictions placed on it are the twin heavy flamer, and lascannon + plasma gun. Twin lascannon is still legal.
