Chosen Aspiring Champion

[Connjurus]

Now, the entry for Chosen is pretty clear at first - it says they can only take one of the four options available, two DIFFERENT options being that they can take either a plasma pistol OR a power weapon/fist. However, on the pages 76-77 sample army spread, unit 5 (a five man chosen team) both shows and says that it includes an "Aspiring Champion with power weapon and plasma pistol".

Can someone clear this up for me please? I'm in the process of converting a squad of these guys and I'd like to know if I'm in fact able to do this - my friends have already said go ahead, but I want to know if it's legal in tournaments?

Thanks.

This has bothered me ever since the codex came out. It is hard to imagine GW intended for Chosen Champs to have to pick either a Powerfist or a Plasma Pistol. The picture in the book of a Chosen Champ with both is evidence of that.

But the rules are pretty clear. He can't have both in a strict RAW environment.
