    Space marine chapter relic limit?

    So I don't know how this works here, by raw I can use both the Gorgon's chain and the axe of medusa, but some say no, bad.

    How are we doing it in tournaments here? There's kind of a silly good argument for using it in that it doesn't say you can't, just that you can't take more than one of the same in an army.

    Pretty much everyone agrees locally, you can do one relic per character. I disagree but have been outnumbered

    Welp. Looks like I have to change my list up a little...
    Kind of wish I had modeled storm shields on my command squad now.

    you can do as many relics per character as you can but only one of each relic per army.

    i'm not sure how you could interpret it as one per character, when the rules say there is one per army.

    Mine says this

    “The sacred artefacts of the Adeptus Astartes are items of incredible rarity. Only one of each of the following items may be chosen per army – there is only one of each of these items in the galaxy.

    In all seriousness have you applied the update to that codex? There is one outstanding.

    There is a global restriction (listed under the relics section) stating that they are unique within the army:
    The sacred artefacts of the Adeptus Astartes are items of incredible rarity. Only one of each of the following items may be chosen per army – there is only one of each of these items in the galaxy.
    However, you're still bounded by the rules for purchasing items according to your army list. In the Space Marines Wargear list, each section specifies what must be traded out when purchasing a piece of equipment. Most sections specify that they can trade either weapon with an and/or clause. However, the subsection for relics contains the line Brandon quoted on page 159:
    Only one of each Chapter Relic may be taken per army. A model can replace one weapon with one of the following:
    It's also worth noting that special weapons include a similar clause (just an or - not and/or), meaning the 4 flamer / 4 melta command squad would no longer be legal.
