 Re: you have to be a total idiot to not equip officers with a bolt pistol
Is this a joke?!
The bolt pistol is the only thing that I equip my officers with, that and a power weapon (some times!)
Its 1 (one) point! and it has the stats of a bolter. Why would you do anything else!? Well lets take a look at our options!
Plasma pistol (Wrong) boy do I want to sink in 10 more points to a model that may not even use it! Since officers are suppose to be in the rear of combat. Finally Overheat! I dont need to go on about that
Las pistol (wrong) why do that when its the same cost to give it a kick butt bolt pistol.
Any other type of CC weapon (In addition to a power weapon) WELL you should never/extremely rarely equip an officer with a power fist the points is amazingly high you can basicly get 4 more guardsmen for that cost.
Take it from me whos been playing guard since 2nd edition please |
