Wassa Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Are the Veterans in Command Squads also 5 points each now? or are they still 6? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HallofStovokor Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 That's a good question. Battlescribe is still putting them at 6 ppm. I never liked taking a 4 man guard squad anyways as it guarantees your opponent can get first strike or first blood. They might be good with a voxcaster hiding with a commander and mortars. So the hidden commander can issue orders to a mortar squad and an infantry squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wassa Posted December 17, 2018 Author Share Posted December 17, 2018 Yeah it's Battlescribe that's got me confused, it still says 6pts. Command Squads are in a weird place, would be great if they were given the character keyword so I could finally fly the regimental standard with pride, rather than hide it behind a rock.

Slasher956 Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 As they are a separate line in the codex they would need to be a separate line in CA, which there isnt, so by RAW they are still 6..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris521 Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 sounds like something worth send in an email. I cant imagine they are meant to be 6 each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuardDaddy Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 'This unit contains 4 veterans' is from codex - so I reckon 5 pts not 6. I agree battlescribe is unchanged, oversight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trickstick Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Never use Battlescribe as a definitive reference for points. It is a good tool but is simply a labour saving device. The entry in the Codex points list for command squads is "Command Squad". It wasn't changed in Chapter approved, and is still 6 points. It could be an oversight by GW but that is what it costs for now. I guess paying a premium for command squads could be worth it, as they do have some advantages. There are other instances of things costing different points in different squads. Heavy weapons squads are slightly cheaper than infantry squad heavy weapon teams, for example.

Shamansky Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Well Elysian units are both specially mentioned despite their cost have not changed. So i think command squad is stiil 6 ppm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
