I want to make sure I understand this correctly. The Sergeant can take an Infernus Pistol (Replacing his Bolt Pistol using the Any Model caveat) AND a Glaive Encarmine (Replacing his Power Sword using the Sergeant option). This is not unlike the Vanilla dex, which allows the Vanguard Sergeant to do something similar. Correct?

Correct.

Just remember there is no point in the Glaive as it is 2 handed, which means you lose your bonus attack, making the re-roll a bit useless.

No. Because any model can replace the bolt pistol with…

The VV Sarge has a Bolt pistol so he too can replace that with a lightning claw (or whatever) and he can replace his Power Sword with a lightning claw (or whatever).

So the sarge has all of the choices as well. They separate the sergeant's power weapon entry in the codex because the sergeant can replace his power weapon for CC weapons at 15 points less than the other VV.

Hmm, I don't know. Under Wargear it reads;

Power Armour
Bolt Pistol
Chainsword (the Sergeant has a power sword instead).
Frag and krak grenades

Emphasis mine.



Then, under the options menu;

"Any model can replace his bolt pistol and/or chainsword with:
List of various options"

Then another entry;

"The Sergeant can replace his power sword with:
List of various options"




So, while he can swap his bolt pistol for one item from the first options menu, I think it forces him to select a specific item for the power sword (As he lacks the chainsword to swap for another item). Or am I reading that incorrectly?
