Dual Vox-Casters? Why?

[Ghune]

For Cadian Shock Troops, it looks like for every 10 models, one Shock Trooper armed with lasgun can be equipped with a vox-caster.

 

In a 20 man squad, this would let you have dual vox-casters.  Looks like the Battleforge app lets you do this.  Is there a reason you would want to do this, other than having combined (2) 10-man squads that already had their individual vox-casters?
 

Per the index, here’s the wargear ability:

Each time you target the bearer’s unit with a Stratagem, roll one D6, adding 1 to the result if there are one or more friendly Officer models within 6": on a 5+, you gain 1CP

 

Would this perhaps allow a second roll for that CP if you missed it with the first roll?

It'd be nice... personally I don't think RAW or RAI would allow for that. It's a nice little buff getting a cp on a 4+. Not so useful if taking Lord Solar. In all reality there's only two squads where taking a vox is a real choice. Death korp squads can take plasma instead of a vox. Scions lose the lasgun for a las pistol. All the other squads have the vox as well as a lasgun so you might as well take the vox because you gain something but lose nothing. 

 

Edit- I do realise that scions can only take one vox! I should have mentioned that! It's just an example of where there is a difference between having one and not. If that makes sense?

I imagine there would be situations with model removal from casualties you would need to/want to remove the vox caster, and having a backup could be useful.

You get to roll 2 dice and get 1cp if either of them pass.

Are you sure?  Has this been confirmed?

 

I'd imagine the reason they let you take 2 is because you've built your 10-man squads with a vox.  You either wouldn't be able to take a combined squad or would have to have one of them count as a vox and one not count as a vox--maximum confusion.

Does it need to be confirmed? It is a wargear ability, so each model with that wargear gets it. The commentary states that you can't stack core abilities, but says nothing about wargear abilities. Some abilities can't be stacked, but they are always worded in a way that makes that clear. So I don't see anything stopping a wargear ability being used twice if you have two.
