Syward Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Greeting Brothers! If I take an Intercessor Squad with 4x Intercessors + Intercessor Sgt & 5x Hellblasters and then combat squad them with the 5x Hellblasters in one combat squad and the Interscessors in the other combat squad, do the Hellblasters retain the SIA rule for their Bolt Pistols or do I need to place an Intercessor with them (4x Hellblasters + Intercessor)?

They retain it. Can split 5 and 5 as you wish.

I know you lose the SGT. which is 1 attack in the Fight Phase and you lose an option for Plasma Pistol w/o the SGT - but I would think SIA for 5x marines would be better than 4x standard bolt pistols & 1x plasma pistol right?

HS Hellblasters are valuable for two (big) reasons: 1. 1 CP to deep strike 10 2.
