Guest Posted September 27, 2014 Report Share Posted September 27, 2014 Can he take squad upgrades? Specifically the storm shield Does it specifically say any model make take SS, or specifically say apothecary may take SS? If not, answer is likely no...

VonVilkee Posted September 27, 2014 Report Share Posted September 27, 2014 I believe it says veterans may take. Which means nope the apothecary is no longer the veteran once you upgrade him, he is different he even has his own stat line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbusePuppy Posted September 27, 2014 Report Share Posted September 27, 2014 By most interpretations the Apothecary can end up with upgrades because, unlike in other versions, he and his equipment are simply an addition, not a replacement. Gear and other upgrades are selected sequentially, so it is possible to buy a Veteran some gear (like a Storm Shield) and then upgrade them to an Apothecary. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unforgiven Forgemaster Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 In my experience, everyone I've played with running an Apothecary had them able to take the upgrades the rest of the squad could take. I know the exact wording of how upgrades are taken has changed in nearly every Marine codex put out, but letting Apothecaries take upgrades has never been questioned, for better or worse.

This was how they justified Ork Nobz getting power klaws in the older dex. I agree with this interpretation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
