Hey guys. I hope this is in the right section. Quick questions for ya. It says in the chaos codex that marines have a boltgun, bolt pistol and a close combat weapon. Whan assembling the minis can i arm them in any way or do they all have to be the same? For example if 1 guy has a bolt pistol and close combat weapon equipped can he still fire his bolt gun even though its not represented on the model? And vise versa with the other setup? Just wanted to know as they include enough ccw and pistols to do the whole squad and it seems a shame not to use some of them.
Cheers guys.

I dont see a problem with it. I built my grey hunters with a mixture because it looks cool plus it also reminds people that they have more than a vanilla marine. You can always tell your opponent at the start of the game if your worried about it.

Depends on the strictness of your environment/ tourney.
But I frankly don't expect someone to pull a huff because only 7 out of 10 models looked good having krak grenades glued to their belts.

Only raw I can find easily is *on ICs only* bottom left p47
(IIRC One of the realms of chaos books has a whole page dedicated to what is a proxy and when can I use it)

I agree. Ic should have what they have unless your proxying. I only play at the club where most people are pretty relaxed about that kinda thing. I just didnt want to build these guys one way if there was some un written rule about it. Anyway with that all cleared up im back to my filing and gluing.
Once again cheers guys.

Don't worry about it, my khorne marked chaos marines have a mixture of weapons in their 10 man squads, just make special weapons, aspiring champions and the icon bearer are represented properly, the rest can have mixture of bolt pistol and Bolger.
I've even got some that have been mutated and have odd arms that count as ccw, even some arm swaps with Necromunda Goliath's holding Stub guns and Auto pistols.
No one ever told me to remove them from play.

Yeah thats what ive now gone with. The main guys are as they should be. Everyone else has got a mixture of weapons. Not looking too bad if i do say so myself lol.
