Use Zoans Bs from codex or core book?

[kirchoff]

Hey guys, from what I understand, we always go by our army codex's rules over the core rule book. But in the back of the core rule book it gives a reference list of all the basic units for each codex and their stats. Is this an exception?

If I remember right, the Zoanthropes Bs is different in the core rule book than it is in our army codex. I get how space marines can have flakk missiles since it is an addition and not a change to something and when it shows that the Hive Tyrant is a character but what about change to stats?

If this is already discussed then post a link to the thread if you would.

I'm almost certain the Zoes BS is 4 in both books, which makes the issue irrelevant, but in any case, you would use the codex not the core rule book for stats. As for stuff like Flakk missiles, they are not yet available to regular space marines. It's in the back of the core rules, but that's only there because they know they'll include the option for flakk missiles in the updated version of the space marine codex. It's not something they can take yet, and it's explained in the FAQs I think. The FAQs can be found on GW's website.

The Zoanthrope's stats are correct in the reference appendix.

Nevertheless, if any numbers are incorrect in the reference summary, that should not overwrite the codex. Only errata can overwrite the codex.

Oh, I misread that. They do have a Bs 4.

and No army has FLakk missiles yet. (Unless maybe Chaos...??)

Chaos does have Flakk missiles, only on their havok squads and they are very expensive.
