I agree that it's not very clear.asch wrote:I've found the errata for Imperial Guard rather poorly written.
There's reference to Veteran Squads in upper half of the page, but no entry for them in the lower half.
How does the "ten guardsmen for a sergeant" work? It means I must purchase a full infantry squad (nine guardsmen) to have one sergeant? Or is it the case that I can purchase sergeant as second model from the squad and need other nine models to get another sergeant?
Can I include guardsmen from platoon command squad in my Team? If I can, I must wonder if their special weapons are special weapon with limitation of 2 in a team or not. (Because any guardsman from a command squad can swap his lasgun with a special weapon.
In my opinion from reading the IG entry:
For veterans I would suggest the Sergeant be 0-1 like the other units.
For infantry squads, you need 9 regular guardsmen before you can buy a sergeant. (So the 10th, 20th, 30th models are sergeants)
You can buy guardsmen from the platoon command squad, but you dont need to buy the officer.
Because they dont have any rules saying different, all special weapons are limited to 2. The Killzone Rules say that you can only have 2 regardless of your codex entry.
