Master of signals weapons

[GodEmperorOfMankind]

So looking at equipping a master of signals, you can't take a combi bolter of any kind, or a bolter.

Does that include nemesis bolters? 

I mean it is a bolter,  but then so are combi bolters and they got explicitly called out.

Following on from that, why would or wouldn't you equip him with a nemesis bolter, or anything else?

 

Cheers all

MoS forgoes his own shooting when he gives his unit the +1 to hit. Ideally, attached to the right unit he shouldn't have the opportunity to shoot his own weapon, so it becomes a bit of a wasted investment.

Ahh I guess so. I had a cool idea for him checking out his augurs with a cyber familiar hovering and holding his sniper rifle

That sounds cool enough you might as well go for it - the wargear list doesn't proscribe: volkite charger, astartes shotgun, Nemesis bolter, volkite serpenta, hand flamer, plasma pistol, chainaxe, charnabal weapon, power weapon, combat shield(??), melta bombs, or jump pack(!).

But yeah, if you're committed to WSIWYG, that's 10 points that aren't doing much of anything.

I made mine with the bits from the Spartan Commander, where he is looking at a data pad of the battle. Gonna have him have a bolt pistol. They are not really combat characters.

Yeah that's what I've done with mine, plus the deathwatch overkill iron hands body/head
