Ravenwing Command squad problem

Hmm... fair enough. The reason I didn't originally give them the stuff
was because I thought "What sort of things can they get? Well,
Apothecaries can let one save in the squad be re=rolled every turn. That
doesn't apply to Land Speeders. Fine, I'll not give any of them the
equipment."

I'll add it back into the next version.

I was just using army builder to whip up a quick 2000 point ravenwing
army.

I noticed that your not allowing command squad speeders to take any
wargear if upgraded to techmarine, medic standard etc.

This is very wrong, what good would it do to upgrade them (or even
have a command squad) if this is the case. The codex states that the
characters in question may take any upgrades allowed from the codex
list. Granted, weapons are not allowed, but how about auspex, signum,
chapter/company banners, DA special banners, iron halos etc. Which
are not weapons and WILL work for them. Also stuff like the medkit
and other medic thingy that adds victory points at the end of the
battle. There is a borderline case, the servo arm, which is not
listed as a weapon, and thus should be allowed, but gives the speeder
1 attack in close combat, so some people have disallowed it. (I know,
big time argument, I modeled it recently).

Just something that needs to be addressed. If your worried about how
the rules are supposed to be, I suggest emailing Tim, I dont think he
posts here, but he does post on 40k_fantatics@yahoogroups.com.


Thanks,

Raving Dark Angels fan...

(It does apply, they can reroll their jinks save)
