Bolter/Bolt Pistol and CCs

[Euraldius]

This has probably been mentioned before:

 

In the new Chaos codex, Chaos marines have a bolt pistol and close combat weapon, and a bolter. Does this mean that they can fire with a bolter one turn, and then whip out a bolt pistol and close combat weapon and charge? Or does the Chaos player have to choose to equip his Marines with either a bolter or the CC combo?

 

I've had friends argue both ways. So far, I've chosen either bolters or CCs.

They have all of them. No eithers. ALL. And yes, this means they can use the bolters while they advance, and then clip up their bolt pistols and fire a salvo before charging and fighting with +1 attack in CC because of 2 close combat weapons.

 

Remember that you can't charge after fireing a rapid-fire weapon though so remember to specify useing the bolt pistols when you shoot before charging :D
