The rules to upgrade a model with a Holy Relic are a bit confusing:
The codex states that only a reclusiam standard bearer may upgrade the banner to a Holy Relic at a cost of 30pts.
But the Terminator Command Squad does not have an option to upgrade a model to a standard-bearer.
Yet, the entry in the armoury shows the Holy Relic with a T, meaning that a TDA-equipped model could in theory carry it.
How does a TDA-equipped model become a standard bearer?
Can the sergeant in a Terminator Command squad buy the Holy-Relic upgrade? (since he has access to any item in the armoury)
If so, does the Terminator Command squad still need to be led by a Chaplain? (I personnaly prefer the Marshal)
If a brother-Templar could clarify this issue, that would be great.
Thanks in advance.

Because IIRC a Reclusiam standard bearer can be given TDA.
That clarification is to say that he can still take the Holy Relic if he is in TDA.

Terminator Command Squads can't have a Holy Relic.

Ok, fair enough, what's the "T" all about then? Am I missing something?

It's just an error, as the walrus mentioned.

Why? Its no different than some of the options in the various codices that no longer did/do anything with a change in editions. No need for a FAQ to change an option to be unusable by models in Terminator armour when they can't take that option to begin with.
