Have I understood this correctly? It looks like a lot of wargear that used to belong soley to a particular unit can now be bought by characters.

For example, most generic Blood Angel characters can take items from the Melee Weapons list. Included on that list the Encarmine Sword which previously was only available to Sanguinary Guard. Can my Blood Angel Captain take an Encarmine Sword or have I missed some other restriction elsewhere in the Index?

You can only take weapons listed on the melee weapons list on page 11 rather than the one with points values at the end of the book.

Ah, that would be the restriction I missed somewhere else in the Index. Thanks for clearing up my confusion.
