Played in the conflict GT today, took 3rd overall losing my last game to a very good player, Alex.

It would not have made any difference in the game as to what the results would have been... but I am trying to figure out a strange rules thing.

If you purchase camo cloaks for a command squad and Straken is purchased also, does he receive a camo cloak?

It sounds like he does. He's purchased as a replacement for the company commander, which means he's part of the squad and not an attached independent character. Since camo cloaks work for the whole squad, I'd say yea.

I would say yes, that they would get it because it is listed as being purchased for the entire squad and as such, Strakken is part of the squad that purchased the cloaks.

I was going to counter argue (I guess it could still be counter argued though) that he would not because it is not an option for his character, but the item is being bought for the entire squad so in essence it is availible to him... It would be interesting if you put this up as a poll to see how people vote... For now I am saying yes, he does get them as they are purchased for the entire squad rather than per figure like the SM Scouts.

Edit: BTW, welcome to the forums Cypher, forgot to welcome you in a previous thread I saw you post in but am too lazy to try and re-find it... lol.

The entire squad gets it. There is no rule restricting unique characters from receiving extra wargear bought for a unit. Another example of this would be Ork SCs buying Cybork Body in an army that contains the Mad Dok.

but strakens wargear list does not include it...

Neither does the wargear list of any of the other members of the command squad?

Doesn't matter. It's in the squad upgrade list, which mentions that the whole unit gets it.

What you're saying is just like saying that if an Infantry Squad purchases krak grenades then the sergeant doesn't get it, because it's not in his wargear list.

I think he means that since Straken is an IC shouldn't he follow the rules that state ICs can not get any more equipment...I think >_>

There is no such rule.

Indeed.

Some older codexs (those with Armories in general) have special rules for each of their Special Characters, preventing them having extra equipment.

With the new format and the loss of Armories, this restriction is not needed. If an "Upgrade" Special Character has access to a unit wide wargear, he also gets one. It's the same for Tellion and Camo Cloaks.

Ah, alright...cool and good to know.
