Brother Cpt Quaato Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Hi all, First question in many years I've had to post. The Osiron Dread must take a Force Weapon with in built Bolter and Asphyx shells. It also states that all Contemptor options are available to the Osiron. Does this mean that the bolter can be upgraded to plasma blaster/melta,etc or is the force weapon only available with bolter. I don't want to start a conversion and find I can't use the plasma I would like to use. Cheers in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the bolter was a normal combi bolter I'd say yes 100% what's weird is because a Contemptor has the option to upgrade a combi bolters but not to upgrade a combi bolters with asphyx shells. I would say yes as it still counts as a combi bolters but I'm not 100% sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athrawes Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 I'm not sure, and FW poor editing doesn't help. The Osiron Contemptor Force blade has an inbuilt combi-bolter, but normal contemptors are equipped with twin-linked bolters. RAW contemptors only have the option to swap out a twin-linked bolter, not a combi-bolter. I know they are basically the same thing, but they are technically two separate weapons, and the Contemptor rules as written do not have the option to exchange the Osiron Combi-Bolter for any other inbuilt weapon. FW naming consistency and vague rule descriptions are fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reclusiarch Darius Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Probably needs an FAQ. I would say the intention is you can swap it out for the normal palm weapons. Just house rule it until FW clarify things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Cpt Quaato Posted March 12, 2017 Author Share Posted March 12, 2017 Thanks Fella's, I was thinking along the same lines looks like i'll go for a bolter and see if it gets FAQ'd in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Withershadow Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 It can take the upgrade just fine. If you want to be pedantic about it, the regular contemptor doesn't have a "CCW with a combi-bolter" to replace with the force blade, which is a mandatory upgrade, thus this unit is unable to be legally taken at all.
