“Any Veteran may take items from the Special Weapons list.”

Add the following option to this list.
Any model may replace his bolt pistol with a chainsword......free

Awesome. Command squads can take Special Weapons again. Good to know.

However, this FAQ does not fix the issue of the Pistol being a CCW all the time or not.

EDIT: Added to original post.

Not all of the ones that need answering have been answer :/

Aw, those chickens, they used the workaround instead of addressing it directly. Jerks.

No specified melee weapon logic still applies, bolt pistols are totes melee weapons.

Eh, whatev, same difference, Imma go model some grav gun bikers.

Now they just need to say whether we can have multiple relics on one HQ.

Can't they just replace the bolt pistol with a Chainsword then replace the Chainsword?
