I'm just curious about this, it says in the daemonhunters codex that "Grey Knights in power armour may only take items from the 'wargear' section" (In the weaponry section) But the Brother Captain is wearing Terminator armour, can he trade in his NFW and SB for say, a pair of LCs, or a TH/SS combo? Or can you not alter his 'weapons' (He already has two)

I play that he can take those things for the points cost listed, and chooses which ones to use in any given round.

The exception is a TH/SS. That is a gray area since a Grey Knight Terminator can already take those, and a Brother-Captain is a Terminator.

I tend to only give my BC's a psycannon, that way I can put 2 in a Terminator squad.

Upon further reading, you can give him a daemon-hammer as well, so I guess he can take these weapons, but it also says 'characters may have up to two weapons' so I guess the bro-captain would have to trade his normal weapons in.

the Codex is outdated; 4th edition provided verbiage that a character upgrading his weapons lost his initial weapons when selecting weapons from the armory; unfortunately RAW: they lost all weapons and it created too many problems, 5th has no such verbiage and the 5th edition codices all tell you what options the models have and what weapons they swap out for them.

These are the main reasons I stopped playing in 4th and started again in 5th.

Except you fail to notice that DH is in fact a Third edition codex.

To answer the OP: yes, a Brother Captain may exchange his weapons for different ones froms the DH Armoury, as long as the rules stated on the Armoury page followed. I.e., no more then two weapons, only one of which may be two-handed, no more that 100pts in Wargear (which is separate from Weapons), no more than one of any one piece of Wargear, etc.
