In an imperial guard squad can you only have one weapon like a flamer OR grenade lancher or can you have one of each like a flamer AND grenade lancher plus how many weapons like those two can you have in a squad?

Which squad are we talking about? PCS? CCS? Storm Troopers? Platoon Infantry? Special Weapons Squad? Heavy Weapons Squad? Veterans? Conscripts? Penal Legion?

Platoon infantry is what im talking about.

One for the whole squad

So only one weapon in the squad ok thanks

Well you can make a sergent have a Boltgun but thats really it.

So you get two Special weapons if you see a boltgun that way.

Can shove in a 2-man heavy weapon if you're in the mood, mind.

I could be wrong, but I think that Sergents can have a bolt pistol, but not a boltgun.

SGT: boltpistol/plasmapistol/power-weapon/meltabombs.

They can have either 1 boltgun or boltpistol

No - PIS sergeants (or vet squad sergeants) cannot have any type of rifle now. (used to be able to, unfortunate for owners that gave them lasguns or boltguns)

True vets can't have boltguns but hes talking about normal Infantry

Yes and PIS sergeants can't have any kind of rifle - pistols only.

Platoon commanders and company commanders can. The only sergeants that can have a rifle of any kind are stormtroopers.

Just to confirm, Page 97 of the IG codex makes it clear that Infantry Squad Sgts can have a bolt pistol, power weapon, plasma pistol, or melta bombs.

Boltguns are no longer allowed.

I'm just annoyed that they can't even have lasguns. and as such don't benefit from FRF!SRF!

Your right Huge oversite for me. Must have mix up Infantry Platoon with squad.

That sucks. Why GW why?
