Points for assault launchers and omniscope

[Stemplar]

Fitting out my Assault Centurions and I can't find the points values anywhere for these. Are they freebies?

[Ciler]

That is correct. They are effectively not wargear but special abilities now.

 

In case you get into rule wrangling with your opponent on that topic, here are the arguments :

• there's no option to take either in the "wargear options" on the datasheet
• there's no point value for them

Conversely, if you look at the ironclad dreadnought assault launcher

• "wargear options" states "this model may take an ironclad assault launcher"
• there is a point cost for it (it got FAQed, they forgot it in the original print)
• the special ability reads "if this model is equipped with..."

 

On a side note, the LRC also comes with a free assault launcher. Do not be like me and forget about it, it does mortal wounds...

Thanks Ciler. Appreciate it.

I forget the most basic stuff all the time. Last game I completely forgot to move a dreadnought after disembarking! I was so excited to start shooting.

Actually, as of the Codex: Space Marines FAQ they do have a points value (though Omniscopes aren't an upgrade, they're just a 'free' rule)

 

Page 208 – Space Marine Points Values, Other Wargear

Add the following lines:

‘Auxiliary grenade launcher | 1

Centurion assault launchers | 3

Ironclad assault launchers | 5’

Ok. Very slight change. And totally worth 3 points!!
