The big question, will GW stay consistent, and can you take a cyclone missile launcher with TH&SS
They have a history of not being consistent, see Wolf Guard getting behind enemy lines when joining scouts, but necron crypteks not getting deepstrike when joining Deathmarks. Same exact mechanic, guys from a single pick joining squads pregame fulfilling a sergeant role, but opposite results.
Q. In the Ork FAQ page 5, If a Boyz mob exchange sluggas and choppas with shootas, can a Nob take a power klaw ....?
A. You may upgrade the Nob....before you upgrade the mob to shootas, the nob is no longer eligible for the weapon swap.
So, Deathwing entry says, Any model can replace all of his weapons with: TH&SS is one of the options.
Later it say for every five models in the squad, one DW Term may choose one of the following options ... Take a cyclone missile launcher.
The Ork FAQ suggests there is timing in doing the wargear selection. So you can swap all your current weapons for a TH&SS then take a cyclone missile launcher. Will that hold up in a month when the FAQ comes out or will it be like the Wolf-guard/Deathmark situation?
