Page 57 gives some missile launchers the ability the upgrade to include flakk.

Now, find permission for your missile launchers to upgrade.


Could you answer my question first? Does it state that the upgrade is codex specific? If it doesn't, the ability to upgrade is built right into the back of the book.

No it's not.
The listing in the back of the book does not mean it's free or that you don't have to "pick" the upgrade.

Check out the mawcannon on the C: Daemon Soulgrinder. See how it has multiple options? Check the actual codex. See how you have to pay points for those options?

There's no mechanism for upgrading to fire Flakk's right now. That doesn't mean it's a Flakk free for all.

Page 99 of the Codex:Space Marines under missile launchers says that "...missile launchers can fire either krak or frag missiles."

Until that entry includes flakk missiles, it is not an option for the missile launcher.

This will probably be FAQ'd in future, but for now, "...missile launchers can fire either krak or frag missiles." and that's all they can fire.

And that's all I needed to know, that the book references the codex and not itself with regards to upgrades.

Riddle me this: what has four sides, moves twelve inches, and moved fourteen?

The argument for missile launchers having Flakk Missiles reminds me of when I worked at a job running a cash register.

If an item didn't scan, people would say "Oh, it must be free!"

"My codex doesn't list an upgrade cost for Flakk. It must be free!"
