TheAlchemist Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 I was just informed that my infantry squads were under strength because I had a heavy weapon in them. Where is this written? My understanding was that in a ten man squad 2 models can form a heavy weapon team and that it still counted as a ten man squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
our_baz Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Haven't got my codex to hand for the exact wording. But u are correct, 10 man squad, 2 may form a heavy weapon team, 1 may take a special weapon etc etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duz_ Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 That's possibly one of the most absurd rules interpretations I've heard. A squad with a HWT is exactly what the rules allow, ignore the comment and move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MARK0SIAN Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Someone is trying to cheat you I’m afraid. Infantry squad is 10 men, 8 guys + 2 guys with heavy weapon equals 10. I’d think carefully about playing that person again, it’s hard to see any other explanation than they were cheating. If you need further proof just google the tournament lists for any 8th edition ones and look at the Guard lists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inso Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 It's clearly stated in the codex; what an infantry squad is made up of. If it's in the Codex, your 'mate' can go blow :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAlchemist Posted June 19, 2018 Author Share Posted June 19, 2018 It was during a tournament two weeks ago. I completely forgot until I signed up for another this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MARK0SIAN Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 It was during a tournament two weeks ago. I completely forgot until I signed up for another this weekend. Then they’re definitely cheating, tournament players know the rules. If they’re at this other tournament and they try to pull the same, call a tournament official over. It’s players like this that put people off tournaments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tirak Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 A guardsman squad is made up of 1 Sergeant and 9 Guardsmen, NOT 10 models. 2 Guardsmen may form a Heavy Weapons Team, which is represented by 1 model. The guy you played is a cheater, tell him to get :cussed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duz_ Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 I think we've reached the end of this one If any further clarity is needed maybe a topic in the OR would be best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
