Guest Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 (edited) Looking at the Chapter approved and I didn't think about this before but... It simply says we may give a SW character a Krakenbone Sword, as long as we have a SW warlord. Doesn't say that character has to be the warlord. So could you possibly give the Krakenbone Sword to a Primaris Captain? I haven't seen any other rules for Primaris taking unique items so far, so I am thinking I am missing a FAQ or misreading it.

Re-read the actual weapon entry, its right there. Models with Frost Sword only.

Guest Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Just says model with Frost sword. I am interpreting that as meaning you have to kitbash it together. Similiar to a few other relic of various factions. An example of this was IG has a relic that says "blade of conquest: model with power sword only. The blade of conquest replaces the models power sword and has the following profile...". Primaris psykers do not have the option to take a power sword, nor is it part of the kit. GW response was to kitbash it onto the psyker.

Yoyo ninja Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 It says any "Model with a Frost Sword only." any model that can take a Frost Sword can have it swapped up to the Kraken Bone Sword.

Deadnaughty Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 a Primaris captain can't take a Frost Sword. Therefor it cannot take a Krakenbone Sword because it specifically says only models with a Frost Sword can take it. I assume your 'example' is a GW employee misunderstanding the question asked rather then an official change to the rules of an item (unless you can provide me with a link to this official change) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/343584-chapter-approved-krakenbone-sword-and-primaris/#findComment-4989359 Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no GW employees where I am stationed so no it's not coming from a GW employee. It was questioned on their FB page. I will have to find it again to post link.

Deadnaughty Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Well the rule in the IG codex is rather clear, models with power sword only so no, Primaris Psykers can't take a power sword and therefor can't take the Relic. Which leads me to the statement that whoever answered that mistook the question.

Guest Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 I sent a email to the FAQ team to clarify. It won't change anything directly with me, but it would be nice to know. Trying to setup another guy with 40k and he wants to do all primaris. It's difficult because its just so damn limiting.
