Equiping Reaver Jetbikes

My question is quite simple but before I spend a lot of time assembling and magnetizing my reavers I want to be sure I'm doing it right.

In the unit entry it says for every 3 models one of them may be upgraded with a Heat Lance or Blaster

It does also say that for every 3 models one of them may have either the Grav-Talon or Cluster Caltrops upgrade.

Of course I know it would not be that smart to have both upgrades in the same unit since they fulfill different roles, but would it be theoretically possible to have both a HL/Blaster and a Grav-Talon/Cluster Caltrops in the same unit of 3? And if so, do both upgrades have to be on the same model? If it's allowed, is it a good idea to split the upgrades to two models?

Yes

Brief, and to the point. That's me!

Thanks a lot Count Adhemar.

would you care to elaborate why it is a good idea to split the upgrades? Putting them both on one model makes the unit maintain all its gimmicks before it is completely destroyed. By splitting them I'd lose something after the second wound.

Mainly for wound allocation purposes (although that might not be an issue in 6th). By splitting the wargear you have more options on where to allocate wounds.

I think I'll just place magnets for the cluster caltrops in two RJBs so that I can potentially have 1 RJB with both special weapon and Fly-by upgrade or to RJBs with one upgrade each. That way I can to the wound allocation thing as well as the other option.

Thanks a lot for the quick reply.
