bushman101 Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Stupid question How do you put storm bolters on a jump pack unit? Storm bolters are a combi weapon and no JP unit will allow a unit full of them. Looking around the forum, i see this unit come up. Are they using the index?

Quixus Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Yes, Company Veterans with Jump Packs are from the Index. Each veteran can take a storm bolter. BTW storm bolters are not combi-weapons.

Panzer Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Yes, they are using the Index options for Company Veterans to give them Jump Packs. Yes, Company Veterans with Jump Packs are from the Index. Each veteran can take a storm bolter. BTW storm bolters are not combi-weapons. You're right and I was about to write the same about Storm Bolter but then realized they're listed under combi weapons in the Codex for rules puposes. ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/343545-jump-packs-and-storm-bolters/#findComment-4988310 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushman101 Posted January 20, 2018 Author Share Posted January 20, 2018 Hmm...okay. good to know. Havent really looked through the index much since the codex dropped  In the codex, storm bolters are listed as combis.

Quixus Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Weird, they don't work like combi-weapons. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/343545-jump-packs-and-storm-bolters/#findComment-4988321 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzer Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Well they work like Combi-bolters. Fluff-wise they may be something else but rules-wise they are the same. ^^ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/343545-jump-packs-and-storm-bolters/#findComment-4988323 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kallas Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 They are essentially an evolution of the older Combi-Bolter, so it does kind of follow logically, even though 'modern' 40k Combi-Weapons are a bit different.

Combi weapons as in boltgun+(one shot) special weapon are as old as combi-bolters. Both existed before the heresy.

bushman101 Posted January 22, 2018 Author Share Posted January 22, 2018 I kinda get why storm bolters got lumped in with combis, but its weird since they never got that treatment before. Â Im on the fence about building this unit. Im worried the index will get written out of the rules eventually Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/343545-jump-packs-and-storm-bolters/#findComment-4989546 Share on other sites More sharing options...
