I thought it was liek other listings, where all the weapons of the squad are included. So only the Sergent has the bolt pistol, and the rest have Boltguns.

Am I wrong? o.O

**tedurur**

yes.

@IggyEssEmManlyMan:
Echoing Tedurur, yes you are wrong.

The SMurfs have both equipped on each member.

EVERY tac marine has BOTH a bolt pistol and Bolter, but not other CCW - this is a change from Chainsword + Bolter so they can now shoot before charging, if they wish.

Wow... Never really thought about using the bolt pistol before an assault... Thanks for bringing this up

Assaulting with non assault Space Marines, for shame brother...

Everything listed in the Equipment section of a Unit Entry is 1 per squad member unless noted otherwhise (i.e. it indicates a different number per person, or notes that such wargear is "sergeant only" or something similar).

For Example, look at the Terminator Unit Entry in the codex, where it notes that the Sergeant has a Power Sword while the other squad members have Power Fists.

Thanks all. I have not been firing before assaulting. Knowing this is great for when I play my Ultramarines

never know when you can get enough glances to blow up a tank before assaulting it....
