Reply To: 40K AM/IG Question: That powersword on the command squad sprue.

[avernosKeymaster 33947xp 1]

you have to remember that GW constantly ret-con and change their minds, that command squad box is probably close to a decade old now, and when it was released in the old Imp Guard Codex the upgrade could be taken for command, vets and a host of others. (it’s always handy to have a bionic upgrade and a power sword more so).

I’m not sure how the current codex stands, because I’ve got the Indexes and given up on new GW books, but the part is there courtesy of older rules. Remember you can always use power level and just use it as a power sword regardless of whether the book says yes or no. A more civilised weapon, for a more civilised age.
