Marine Command Squad with Jump Packs?

[krispy]

I was planning on making one of these - but i dont see a points cost for the Jump Packs noted in the codex - am i missing something?

as far as i can see you can pay to add a jump pack to the captain but there is no points cost noted for the command squad to get jump packs too, only bikes.....

or am i blind?

I don't think you can take jump packs for a command squad. However, if you want you can tool up a squad of Vanguard vets to fly around with your Captain. You don't get the Apothecary of the Emperor's Champion but they can fill almost the same role.

but wasnt it possible in 4th edition or before?

damn lol i was planning on making a nice command squad all magnetized with jump packs or normal backpacks which i could squtch out and now it looks like i dont have a reason anymore :P

Last Space Marine codex would allow the specialists to select Jump Packs, but it still left at least one Marine in the Command Squad without a Jump Pack. Shrike was the only exception, but his Retinue wasn't a proper command squad. Only the Blood Angels can take a Jump Pack Command Squad.

well that explains it - lol, i had a blood angels command squad box - i must have got the idea from there

thanks culven + rapture.... i guess i should start amassing bikes for rtem to ride then ;)
