"One may take" meaning?

[HighMarshalAmp]

Let's say it says on a unit's Datasheet:

-The Dude Sergeant may take a Power Sword.

-One Dude may take a Chainsword.

-One Dude may take a Plasma Cannon.

 

Can I put the Chainsword and the Plasma Cannon on the same Dude?

[Grand Master Laertes]

Yes, because otherwise it would have said so

When it comes to weapons, most data sheets say ‘may replace’ rather than ‘may take’ (which more usually refers to wargear).

 

If both those options are ‘may replace bolter with chainsword’, and ‘may replace bolter with plasma cannon’, then no, you can’t do both. But if you’re replacing two different weapons (say, replacing a bolt pistol with a chainsword), then why not.

 

Tactical squads specify that the special and heavy must go on different models, but even then, the ‘replace’ wording means you’d have to do that anyway.

In this case, it does indeed say "take" one time.

One of the weapons replaces a Combi-Bolter, the second one is an addition to any existing loadout.

It doesn't say "Another may take" though.

 

I'm specifically asking about Scarab Occult Terminators fwiw.

[Rogue]

I know nothing about Scarab Terminators, but from what you’re saying, it sounds like you can double up - you replace the combi-bolter with the plasma, add the chainsword as an extra thing, and you’re good to go.

 

Looks like everyone here is in agreement :)
