First off, WAAAGH!!!

Second, when an Oddboy is added to a unit, when does one make the decision as to whether the upgrade is a Soopagun or a Supa-Zzap-Gun?

I have always played it at army creation as there is after all 2 different models. But no its not explicit. I would never dream of 'tailoring' the army to that extend though (I just take 2 supas and 4 zaps ).

I agree all weapon loads should be chosen at the time of army creation - gargants, titans, oddboyz, whatever.

I agree. Else Space Marines could choose which type of Dreadnought they would field every game, too.

Mine. Almost for every air assault

hmmm..  I really feel that it has to be at army creation.  But both arguments work for nearly every list.

I guess it comes down to sportsmanship.  A sportsman would custom his list as he see's the Op's army.  the Sportsman would have it all sorted at army creation time.

I've always written my choices into the army list before printing it out, but realized I couldn't recall that way of doing it actually written down anywhere.

As far as I know, only the two Eldar spacecraft specify that you choose their weapons during deployment.

Well, in some areas you can swap Rhinos for Drop Pods after seeing the enemy army list.

Technically, you choose your army lists at the same time, so that *is* covered in the "How to use the army lists" section.

But, when you purchase an Oddboy character, or a Razorback for that matter, when making an army from the army list, that's *all* you're required to indicate, as that's all that's shown in the army lists; there's nothing about indicating "sub-"options at all.

Now, I do agree that such "OR" choices should be decided when making the army, unless otherwise indicated, but there is nothing "automatic", or addressed, about it in the rules.

(And, as a point of interest, I agree with the EpicUK interpretation of the Marine Transports rule, essentially on the basis that Marines should have that kind of flexibility, being both tactical and strategic geniuses.)

I always thought Tyranid swarms were selected in full before the game at least that's the impression I have from all the reports on here (Although you can pass stands between formations anyway).

I'd go with pick the oddboy at army list stage.
