Yes you can, but some may argue that even though you could wield it and still have a power weapon or something, you can't count it as a 2nd CCW since in the older C:SW it doesn't list combi-weapons under true grit, but the newer version does.

Vassakov Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Core rulebook, under the Universal Special Rules for True Grit. For our use of it, see the V5 SW FAQ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rahl02 Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Core rulebook, under the Universal Special Rules for True Grit. For our use of it, see the V5 SW FAQ. Unfortunately, True Grit doesn't exist in 5th ed. We Wolves have to use it as written in our codex. The FAQ states as much, thus not allowing us an extra attack. Unless GW updates the faq again to allow combi-weapons, we'll have to wait until the new dex and see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf89 Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 the FAQ for the BBB says codex takes the precedence, we look in our codex, and under the true grit special rules it includes combi-weapons, so it's as simple as that. If you have the old codex where it only says bolters, then you're somewhat SOL unless you can get a PDF or something of a scanned version of the codex. I've tried multiple times to send them via E-mail to people but something seems to be messing up. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was unaware that they made another 'Dex with differant wording. As far as I know the wolf dex didnt' get any reprint from its original. If there is I'll have to find it. But for all intents and purposes, true grit doesn't work with anything other than just plain jane bolters, and SB for GK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WG Vrox Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 True Grit defined is holding the bolter by the pistol grip, so if the combi bolter has a pistol grip by definition it should follow under the true grit rule. WG Vrox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bran Scalphunter Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 What you have Rahl is the mk.1 of the 3rd Edition Codex- most of us have the mk.2 which grants True Grit to Combi-weapons. Try messaging GW Canada, they should be able to hook you up with a scanned copy of mk.2 for your gaming pleasure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rahl02 Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Thank you, I didn't know they had differant editions of the 'Dex printed. I've e-mailed them, hopefully I'll get it soon. Is there any other changes between the differant mk's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there any other changes between the differant mk's. Simply e-mailing them won't get you anywhere at all (trust me I tried). What you have to do is literally "buy" the codex from them (it won't cost you anything as it's $0.00) and then they'll send it to you via PDF file. Just fill out the information just like you would if you bought an item from their site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long Fang Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Would anyone with the GW Canada .pdf file be able to E-mail it to me please? I want to check it against my dex but i am having no luck getting it direct. Thanx Fang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
