Hey guys, I found something odd concerning this supplement. I just purchased a hardback copy of the Farsight Enclaves supplement and something odd seems to be wrong. In the codex supplement there is the special rule that says the following:
"Farsight's Command Team
when choosing a Farsight Enclaves army, you have access to a special unit called Farsight's Commander Team. If you choose to take this unit, Commander Farsight does not allow you to take an XV8 Crisis Bodyguard Team as normal; he has the Commander Team instead. This special unit is an HQ choice that does not take [up] a Force Organization slot and consists of up to seven other battlesuits chosen from those listed on pages 38-39. They must be equipped exactly as described; the Signature Systems rule above does not apply to them. They can take no other options. Each of the Commander Team models is Unique and has the Independent Character special rule."
Now, it seems pretty clear and when you turn to pages 38-39, you can indeed see the Eight. However, there are no listed point costs. There are just the suits and descriptions of their set up. So does that mean that so long as I pay the cost of a normal XV8 Crisis Bodyguard Team that I can take up to any of the 7 suits in the Command Team (let's just ignore the fact that the wording is so bad that it basically says you could take two Commander Farsights)?
Or did GW just make a giant f-up as usual and forget to print point costs in the hardback supplements?
