Is it an accident that you can give a JO an Heroic Senior Officer's stats for 5 pts less than the HSO?

its probrobly a loophole, or they noticed it and decided that raising the cost of the medal would make giving it to other things too expensive. or something. or they just didnt notice it

lol.

I was looking at my IG codex, trying to decide what doctrines to give my Kelnite 12th (When I get round to doing them), and I noticed that it was cheaper to do that. Yeah, they probably didn't notice it. Nobody tell them!

it does cut down on the amount of wargear you can give to your officer though as a JO can only have half the gear a SO can and much of that is taken up by the honourifica.

it's no accident really... look at it this way; you save 5pts for the best stat line, but you lose 75pts worth of wargear... (if for some odd reason you give the honorifica to a senior officer, that would only be 25pts out of 100pts total wargear cap.)

so basically, you save 5pts, and take 50% of your wargear limit... (which can hurt if say you're wanting to tool up your command squad w/carapace armour from the armoury while still wanting the benifits of a trademark item, melta bombs & macharian cross!)

cheers!

Talking good point

I think Stich hit it on the head. Your saving 5 pts but loosing 50% of you gear. I personally like to load up so much gear they get emcumbered.LOL Until he gets killed in turn 1-2 because he draws fire like a tank

There was another thread about this somewhere here in the past.

It's a useful loop-hole if you're making a tournament list and you need to shave off some points.
I mentioned this to my friend one day and he looked at me like I had ten heads or something...

He's stupid then. You only have 4. I ate 6 :O

But anyway, this loop-hole IS useful for cutting down IG points. I'm working on an IG army and I just keep messing up my points =/
