Default Terminator Apoth with an Assault Cannon?

I'm working on creating my Deathwing Command Squad and while I was looking at the Codex this question popped into my head: "Can a terminator who takes a heavy weapon also be given the apothecary upgrade?"

Can I get some clarification on whether or not this is allowed?

I don't think specialists can be armed with weapon upgrades

except in the deathwing.... the DW command squad rules in Belial's options states that 1 termie can be upgraded to a standard bearer and another to a apothecary. Nothing about them not being allowed to use a heavy/special weapon.

Ah, thank you baronspikey, this is what I was trying to get at. I figured if I could put both upgrades on the same termie, instead of putting them on 2 different termies, it wouldn't come down to be having to pick one or the other if the squad they were in took a wound. In this case, putting all your eggs in one basket seems like a good idea.

typically, you can't/shouldn't do so... specialists are still pretty much characters in their own right and thus can't take squad up-grades.

still, there isn't anything to outright say you can't do so, but it is a somewhat dubious tactic giving a character an assault cannon!

cheers!

But then again, I despise Dark Angels and their army in general.

Please, give me my DA w/ extra cheese so when I lodge my axe in their brain pan I can brag all the louder!
