Editing Sword Brethren (section)

==Crunch==
In 6th Edition, these guys are more expensive Initiates ([[Wat|that don't score]]). They have the same options as initiates (1 special weapon, 1 heavy weapon Or special close combat weapon). Plus, can have "terminator Honors" to each gain an additional attack (but it's crazy expensive) and can have as many storm shields (FAQ'd to 3++ all the time, but got more expensive) as your little heart desires. I suggest you give them a skip.

That was the last time they were ever statted, as 8th Edition strangely did away with the Sword Brethren as a whole and forcing you into relying on veterans. Even in 9th Edition, there haven't been any stats for Sword Brethren...without being Primaris. These Primaris Sword Brethren, while gifted with chainswords and power swords, suffer from two massive restrictions: One is the lack of shields, making them inferior to the [[Bladeguard Veteran|Bladeguard Veterans]] who come with relic blades and storm shields. The other issue is that their loadout options for alternative weapons is pointlessly-limited, forcing you to pick one weapon of each type (thunder hammer, twin lightning claws, power axe, power maul, and options for plasma pistol and two pyre pistols) and thus forcing a schizophrenic loadout.
