Favoured Weapons

By bogi_khaosa, in Only War

I know there was a thread on this somewhere, but I can't find it.

A very simple question. Favoured weapons. I assume every regiment gets to choose them, even though I can't find any rules on it.

The is -- you choose one special weapon and one heavy weapon, and obtain +10 to Logistics Tests to acquire said weapons.

Is that right? Are there limitations on this or other benefits?

Thanks!

I think thats pretty much it. You can get more favoured weapons if you buy it at Regiment creation i think. Also i believe that Heavy and Weapon specialist can choose favoured weapons as their kit.

I would also suggest looking at the Beta files, but i cant find them anymore.

I don't see any rules for buying it in the Beta. (?)

I may have used the wrong terms, what i meant was that there used to be a beta forum and they would have an errata for each week of the beta.

On page 69 in the core rules there is a table that says "Add one favoured basic weapon 10 points" and i think it means your regiment gets another favoured weapon, i might be wrong on this one though.

I don't see anything in the rules (Beta) about getting favoured weapons at all. They are listed for the premade regiments but not for player-made ones,

Im pretty sure its not in the beta rules, but the same question popped up during the beta testing and i recall it being adressed in the weekly beta updates. I cant find said updates however since the beta forum got cancelled.

OK, I think the issue addressed in a thread a few pages down. One heavy and one basic weapon of Very Rare Availability or greater; a +10 to acquire these items.

The exact wording of this is in the CRB, its on p. 68, under "Favoured Weapons."
