Berzul Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Hi. So, I have been going crazy trying to find a rule for this. Can anyone help me out by clarifying it? Since the time of the Index I have been playing my bikers (regular bikers) with a combi weapon on the sergeant. I never realized that the codex does not actually allow that option. Noone in a casual match or tournament, be it player, organizer or judge, has told me my bike sergeant is not-by-the-codex, but rather a pure index option. But, now I have been 'found out' of sorts. And I have been told I cannot use my bike sergeant in an upcoming tournament, due to him being an index option. At the same time, every player I talk to mentions to me that they always thought that the option was available, due to some faq or rules clarification. The thing is, I cannot find it. Does anyone know if the sergeant for a ravenwing bike squad can take anything other than melee weapons and pistols? Is there a rule for this?

jbaeza94 Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 So I did some searching, I have found nothing to help you. I double checked on games-workshop, and confirmed that sergeant weapons are only for index options.

It looks like GW removed the web entry of it from FAQ page.

Grimdark_Garage Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 It's legal as long as you refer to the index datasheet for all wargear and rule Options. So if, in DA codex 2.0 (whenever that is) the unit gets a cool new rule or something, you couldn't use it. You'd be stuck with the index datasheet. As it stands, nothing is different between codex and index other than sergeant wargear options so crack on!!

Berzul Posted January 26, 2020 Author Share Posted January 26, 2020 Presented this to the TO. He has agreed and has clarified, that index weapons are ok for the tournament. Thanks for the info, very very much.

sneakybamsen Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 As a rule of thumb, if the tournament allows index options, you are good to go. If not, you got to abide by it. I am considering chopping of my combi plasma on one of my bike sergeants, as the tournaments I mostly play in are ETC format where index options and FW stuff is off the table.

Get a hobby knife between the body and arm/shoulder pad you can get the whole thing off intact then drill both the body and shoulder and insert magnets nealy all my Sgt and special weapons are done like that, I got the spare arms from the black night box set.

sneakybamsen Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Yeah, Snake, except it's a sarge from dark vengeance, so you can't just lob it off where it's been glued :) I am not sure I'll do it, but I am considering it. The model is painted, so it would hurt to have to lose the gun...

Berzul Posted January 27, 2020 Author Share Posted January 27, 2020 Well, I mostly plat casual games where you can bring whatever you want to the table. And I love my tri-melta bike squad. Might keep it as is. But I see the point. Perhaps Ill make a replacement sergeant as a variant for tournaments...
