Space Wolf Characters + Wargear

[23nsky]

What is the limits on the rules of "Space Wolf Characters" may NOT have duplicate wargear or psyhic gifts?

I believe its ok for, say example, 3 Rune Priests to ALL have Jaws of the World Wolf provided their second power is different (i.e.: one with "Tempest Wrath", another with "Storm Caller", etc...).

What then is the deal with Wargear? Must it be considered different for each model, or if the model has different pyshic powers is that difference enough for each Rune Priest to be able to have identical gear?

Hope I'm being clear. Would be good to understand this.

You're right on the Psychic powers bit, but I don't know about wargear.

I think what is meant is that a Wolf Lord can't have two thunderhammers or storm shield, or storm bolters. A Runepriest can't have two thunderclaps or any other psychic powers, and so on...

Yeah..... Well that's wrong. Partially anyway.

It means that two different wolf lords can not bring the same combination wargear into a fight and that the wargear on a second RP can not be the same combination of wargear or psychic powers as the first RP, or a third or a forth.

Basically they cannot have the same saga, they cannot have the same combinations of wargear, and they cannot have the same combinations of psychic powers.

Ahab got it right.

No two HQs can have the same Saga,

The same COMBINATION of wargear,

or the same COMBINATION of Psychic powers

What? Can't I have two Wolf Lords with Storm Bolters and Frost Axes? That sounds pretty insane.

But you can if one has Melta Bombs.

Question 1) So, sticking with Rune Priests as an example, I CANNOT have the following Rune Priests:

RP1 has Thunderclap and Living Lightning and has NOT replaced any of their wargear

RP2 has Thunderclap and Storm caller, and has ALSO NOT replaced any of their wargear (has Power Armor, Runic Weapon, Bolt Pistol, Grenades)

and the reason I cannot have is because while they have different Psychic powers, their Wargear is the same (no changes from the basic wargear).

However, if I replaced one Rune Priest's Bolt-Pistol with a Bolter/ Bolt-Gun (which is free) they now both become legal as neither has the same Psychic Power AND their wargear is different. Is this correct that because one piece of war-gear is different, the characters now become legally different and allowed to be fielded?



Question 2) Continuing to detail my original question; say we have the same two Rune Priets (now with one with a Bolter/Bolt-Gun). While their psychic powers and wargear is different, only ONE can have "Saga of the Beast-Slayer" as Saga's cannot be duplicated. Is that right?



Question 3) Further detail - if I give one of my RP's "Saga of the Beast Slayer" this has now prevented ANY OTHER character (my Wolf-Lord for example) from choosing this Saga. Is this correct? Does this effectively mean that all Saga's are "one-per-army" choices?


Question 4) Does NOT having a Saga limit Space-wolf characters? (i.e.: if a Space Wolf character CAN take a Saga but has not, and another Space Wolf Chacter CAN take a saga, must the second take a Saga? Can there only be one "saga-less" Space Wolf Character per army?)

That codex is crazy.

Answer #1 Yes, if you had different psychic power combinations and wargear combinations it would be legal.

Answer #2 ....Yes.

Answer #3......... Yes.

Answer #4 What the fuck are you on about? No, but where would you get that from?

Ok, let me sum it up again, you cannot have the same combination of psychic powers, you cannot have the same combination of wargear choices, you cannot have more than one character with the same sagas(only taken once). Nowhere did I say you had to take a saga, it is not a compulsory choice.

The codex is meant to fit their fluff, it isn't as though this is difficult to grasp.
