A few questions here about the BT codex.
1. Does the chapter banner give +1 attack in addition to the +1 gained from the counter-attack rule it bestows for that turn? So a unit of BTs with the chapter banner being assaulted would have +2 attacks that turn?
2. The Relics and Artefacts list says that each army may only have one item from this list. Does that mean I can only have one of those items, or one of each of them? For instance, I could take both an iron halo and a chapter banner, but only one of each, or can I only take either the iron halo or the chapter banner but not both?
3. In the armory (oh sorry wait, it's British so armoury ), it has some wargear with a "-" instead of a points cost for models with only one wound (bikes, jump packs, and holy orbs of Antioch for instance). Does this mean that one-wound models cannot take these upgrades or that they are free?
Thanks.

1) Yes, as if they had assaulted
2) You may only select one of each - so you can have two different artifacts, but you could not have two of the same artifact
3) It means they canot take them.

I could've sworn that the Codex specifically states that only one of the below items may be included in an army, thus limiting you to one of them. I don't have it with me ATM though, so I might be wrong.

It says each army may include only one of the following items, so not sure if it means only one of each or one of all. Rats about not being able to take them, I was looking forward to a command squad all with Holy Orbs of Antioch.

I read it as "you can only take each item once" not "you may only select one item in total frmo this list"

Now that I've reached the comfort of my home, I can provide the proper wording, which makes all the difference:

"Each army may have a single item from this list".

Thus, you're only allowed one item from the "Wargerar - relics & artefacts" section. There's no limit to the amounts of Orbs you can have, though, except that no model may take more than one.

EDIT: Way for me to miss the point: Command Squad members (not the attatched IC obviously) may NOT take Holy Orbs of Antioch, as they've only got 1W. They're fair game for techmarines though!

Holy Crud Walrus you're right!

Wow that actually sucks! Although having said that, most times I use an adamantine mantle, I also use a storm shield on that character as well!

Thanks, all. I guess I'll go with an iron halo for my marshall. Too bad we don't get iron halos with our captains like SM. But hey, we get Termie command squads still!! hahaha
