  Am I reading this right?  Does the Ancient have no weapons?  Or does he get a bolter and a power weapon?  The model has some kind of sword, but I suppose it could just be a CCW (and of course, models are not rules, don't confuse the map with the territory, don't take any wooden nickels, close your eyes and think of England, etc. etc.)

The entire squad is armed with bolter and Axe of Ultramar. The Ancient has the banner, but there is no mention of this replacing either of those two weapons.

There is no way for him to actually get the sword that the model is carrying... although the Axe is just a power weapon, so it makes no real difference.

Of course, there is also no mention of the Champion's Honour Blades replacing the bolter and axe... so exactly how many weapons he is carrying is as much up in the air as the Tactical Squad heavy weapons upgrades...

Thanks. I'll just play the Ancient's sword as a power sword then, and not fire bolters from him or the champion (so as not to violate the WYSIWIG rule).
