Assault Doctrine + Sons of Guilliman

[GreyCrow]

Referring to this article here : https://www.frontlinegaming.org/2020/02/27/new-space-marine-faq/

 

Everybody has a melee weapon ? WTH are they referring to ? The Bolt pistols that one can shoot in melee during the shooting phase ?

Did I miss something and all Marines also have a melee weapon ?

 

Also, Sons of Guilliman. On a Tactical/Intercessor squad, this is allowing all rerolls to hit or is this only allowing all reroll to hit on a single attack ?

 

The wording from the Stratagem that allowed rerolls to hit on a single attack after the FAQ is similar.

Hi.

First question, yes, all models are assumed to have a close combat weapon. V1.6 of the Rulebook FAQ states:

“Page 183 – Choose Melee Weapon

Change the second sentence to read:

‘In addition to their other weapons, all models are assumed to be equipped with a close combat weapon, which has the following profile:”

Second question, no idea. Sorry!

Hope that’s vaguely helpful.

This should answer the Sons of Guilliman part.

Cheers guys! Totally missed the FAQ!

 

And thanks for the clarity on Sons of Guilliman :)

To be fair it's not just in the FAQ. It's part of the regular core rules already. The FAQ only changed the wording a little bit and made it so the CCW has AP0 instead of AP- so it can get affected by rules that improve AP etc. ^^
