Blood Sacrifice to Khorne
|
I did a quick search about company veterans but didn't seem to find an answer to a question of mine.
the wargear options state: "Any model may replace their bolter or chainsword with one weapon chosen from the list below:...-pair of lightning claws or a thunder hammer for +30 points per model"
Then under another bullet point: "Any model may take a combat shield for +10 points per model, or a storm shield for +10 points per model"
So the question I have is:
Could a Company Veteran Squad replace their chainswords for a pair of lightning claws while also taking a storm shield and still keep their bolter? And if so that would mean that one vet could still upgrade their bolter to a flamer, meltagun or plasma gun then, right?

Huh, that is some very odd wording...
The way that you're wording it makes it seem as though a DA Vet can have 2 LC, a bolter, and a shield. How he carries that, I do not know.
Now for us to sit here until Gwar tells us what the answer is!

The Wargear Does NOT state any Veteran may replace bolter or Chainsword... Pair of Lightning claws or thunderhammer.
It States up to 3 Veterans may...
Any Veteran can have the storm Shield though.
Also The Veterans Warger has them with a Bolter OR a Chainsword, not Both.
They do all Have Bolt pistols though So at max you could have a Marine(or 3) with a Pair of lightning Claws, Storm Shield and Bolt Pistol. That Model Will still only have 2 Attacks, 3 on the charge though as it carries a Storm shild and thus is precluded from gaining the extra attack in Close combat from multiple weapons(last line of the Storm Shield entry in the wargear section of the codex).

EEEEEENNNNNNN!
incorrect, try again GW FAQ Errata
"Page 83. Veteran Squad, Options.
The second, third and fourth bullet point should
be changed to:
‘Any model may […].’"
To be fair the Codex does say three vets, but that is old news as any and all vets may now take any upgrades.

Annnd the rest of my points still remain valid; The vets have either Bolter or Chainsword, so no Vets with Lightning Claw Pairs and a Special or Heavy weapon(or a Bolter).
BTW; just saying: "FYI, the options were given to any veteran in the FAQ/Errata." Is a Much better way of replying, and doesn't wind up getting you hit with Ignore or Mod alert buttons. I don't personally Play dark Angels I just have the Codex(and every other Codex excepting the new BA one) So I don't double check the FAQ when the Codex does not seem incorrect on a point(and a Clear restriction on who can take options or number of models that can take options didn't seem unclear).

yeah, earlier today I noticed that they can take a bolter or chainsword. but they do still get a bolt pistol so they do still have some ranged tho. But your right, i have no friggin clue as to how they carry it all. I've heard mention that some claws retract? I cant remember where i heard that,but i digress...
Btw, thank you all for your answers and input. It puts me in my place, after all I don't wanna cheat '  '

"The Claws Retract" is a stupid bit of incorrect fluff in the DA FAQ. -Shrug-
And you think that's bad? A Vanilla SM Assault Sergeant can take 4 Lightning claws.

4 Lightning claws!? wow! You don't get all those extra attacks I hope.
Yeah, I regret to inform that I don't know a lot of the fluff yet....I'm gonna be working on that though as the fluff is really awesome!

Kinda tactics, Kinda Rules:
While you can get the 4 Lightning Claws(by upgrading the BP to a Pair of Claws, and then upgrading the Chainsword to a pair of lightning claws) It is an absolute waste of points. You only gain 1 bonus attack for 2 CCW, not 1 bonus attack for every 2 ccws.
but you could upgrade your chainsword to a Pair of L-claws and keep the BP(or upgrade it to a PP)
