10pts Chaos and HH Legion armies can replace quad bolters with Reaper battery – S7 AP4 Heavy 4 twin-linked
Blood Angels can replace the Hellstrikes with these weird Large Blast blind/locator beacon missles for free
Non-Chaos(Marines, Wolves, Dark Angels, Blood Angels, Vangaurd assault armies and Tyrant’s Legion) can replace the quad bolters with twin linked autocannons for free
As long as you’re normally able to shoot, the turret weapons(quad bolters, reaper battery or autocannons depending what you take) can each fire at their own target independently, and don’t count against the number of weapons the Fire Raptor is able to fire in the shooting phase(hence why having Machine spirit, and paying 20 points for it seems sort of pointless).
Chaos raptor can take daemonic possession for 20
Then there’s the ‘Relic of the Armoury’ special rule. Basically, a primary detachment(and by the wording it looks like only a primary detachment) can have one model with that rule normally. If you wish to take a second model with ‘Relic of the Armoury’ in your primary detachment, the detachment must include a Master of the Forge, Interrogator-Chaplain, Recluisarch, Rune Priest with Beastslayer, or Warpsmith, specific codex dependant, obviously. This represents the rarity of the vehicle requiring the blessing of some ‘keeper of relics’ to oversee their use.
