Hey all,

Just noticed this but the Wrack Acothyst has the option to take items from the Weapons of Torture and/or Tools of Torment lists. However the Tools of Torment state:

A model may replace a ranged weapon with a single weapon from this list:

The problem is the Acothyst only has a melee weapon (Haemonculus Tools), so I believe by RAW the Acothyst cannot take any of those items, for instance a Hexrifle (Which the kit has the option for you to take).

Am I missing anything or does the Wrack wargear options overrule the rules on the Tools of Torment (I can't imagine they do but maybe I'm misreading something).

If a model doesn't have a ranged weapon, it can't exactly replace said non-existent ranged weapon.

That's my take as well but I'm fairly certain they are supposed to be able to. (If nothing else based on past rules and the models themselves)
