Since the AB40K maintenance team is waiting for a FAQ before addressing some of the issues in the new SM Codex, let's do something crazy and send requests to GW - copy this and send to: Gamefaqs@gwplc.com

"I'm reading a lot of confusion over these issues from tournament organizers and players at my local store:

1. Chapter Relics: Can a character get more than one of the different chapter relics? For instance, can a Chapter Master trade his bolt pistol AND chain sword for the Eternal Shield and the Burning Blade or can a character get only one relic? Follow up, if he can get more than one relic, can he also get a third one in the form of the Armor Indomitus which doesn't require an exchange of weapon?

2. Sergeant Melee and Ranged Weapons: Can a Space Marine Sergeant use his free replacement of his Bolter for a Chainsword and then exchange the Chainsword for a weapon on the Melee or Ranged Weapons tables (at the appropriate additional cost)? Related to this, is the FAQ that allows the Bike Squads to exchange their Bolt Pistol for a Chainsword intended to enable them to then exchange the Chainsword for a Special Weapon?

Thanks!"

Let's all get this answered!

You could also include clarification on grav vs vehicle cover saves.

And about a million other things as well!

The GW FAQ team really has been slacking with the C:SM FAQ... and yeah, sadly AB40k team has been slacking with the use of common sense

I would rather they prevent the bearer of the Grimgore to be in the unit that gets the buff(screamer star)
I would rather they prevent characters from joining riptides.

Question 1 is the same as with a lot of the other codexes isn't it?

for number 1, the codex says only one of each may be taken in an army. so yeah, as long as you have models that can take them then you could theoretically take every relic.

I would much rather everyone just e-mail the SM and Eldar FAQ Submissions in YMDC. There might be one for Tau, Daemons and CSM Not sure though.
