IG for that matter, so i just had a few questions - sorry if they're dumb!
The only dumb questions are the ones you don't ask.
And the dumb ones, but still...
From reading the codex, here are my questions:
Militarum Tempestus Scions
1. "For every five models in the unit, up to two other Tempestus Scions may replace their hot-shot lasgun with a flamer, meltagun, plasma gun, grenade launcher or hot-shot volley gun".
So, if i'm reading this correctly, you need to have at least 7 scions in the unit in order to have two plasma guns? No five-man units with 2 plasma guns in it, right?
For every 5 Scions you take, two of them can take a Special Weapon.
So your 5 Scions can have 2 Plasma Guns in them.
Tempestus Scions Command Squad
2. "One other model may take a platoon standard" + "Up to four other models may replace their hot-shot lasgun with a flamer, meltagun, plasma gun, grenade launcher or hot-shot volley gun."
So one guy can either take a standard OR a plasma gun, but not both, right? Meaning a unit with 1 standard can only have 3 plasma guns?
Yeah, if you take a Platoon Standard you only get 3 Plasma Guns.
3. In battlescribe, taking more than one Command Squad in my Vanguard Detachment makes the list invalid - are you only allowed to have 1 command squad per detachment? Or am i just doing something wrong in battlescribe?
Battlescribe's telling you to consult your Army Book.
Scion Command Squads(and Command Squads in general) are 1
per Officer keyworded model. In this case, you need a
Tempestor Prime as your
HQ.
