Chapter Approved: Krakenbone Sword and Primaris


Jarl Caldersson

Recommended Posts

Looking at the Chapter approved and I didn't think about this before but... It simply says we may give a SW character a Krakenbone Sword, as long as we have a SW warlord. Doesn't say that character has to be the warlord.

 

So could you possibly give the Krakenbone Sword to a Primaris Captain? I haven't seen any other rules for Primaris taking unique items so far, so I am thinking I am missing a FAQ or misreading it.

Re-read the actual weapon entry, its right there.

 

Models with Frost Sword only.

Just says model with Frost sword. I am interpreting that as meaning you have to kitbash it together. Similiar to a few other relic of various factions.

 

An example of this was IG has a relic that says "blade of conquest: model with power sword only. The blade of conquest replaces the models power sword and has the following profile...". Primaris psykers do not have the option to take a power sword, nor is it part of the kit. GW response was to kitbash it onto the psyker.

a Primaris captain can't take a Frost Sword. Therefor it cannot take a Krakenbone Sword because it specifically says only models with a Frost Sword can take it.

 

I assume your 'example' is a GW employee misunderstanding the question asked rather then an official change to the rules of an item (unless you can provide me with a link to this official change)

Nor can a Primaris Psyker (IG) take a power sword but they can take the blade of conquest which is a relic power sword. There is no GW employees where I am stationed so no it's not coming from a GW employee. It was questioned on their FB page. I will have to find it again to post link.
