Lord Hereticus Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Was reading my codex last night when I noticed the Lord entry says "replace CCW with a pair of Lightning Claws" followed immediately by "may take T/L bolter or Combi Weapon" Now, because the claws only replace the CCW, in theory and RAW, I can still take a combimelta/TL bolter as well. Right or wrong? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/158958-lightning-claws-and-a-combi-weapon/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyescrossed Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Damn... I dunno - I'll have to read up on it later. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/158958-lightning-claws-and-a-combi-weapon/#findComment-1862316 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Castlerook Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Yeah, this was covered in the DA faq a few months back, and as that was brought out before the Chaos Codex, the precedence is carried forward. In other words..... He can indeed carry the following; Plasma pistol instead of the bolt pistol. Power weapon/fist, claws or Daemon weapon instead of the Close combat weapon. Twin linked or Combi bolter. However you must model all equipment on the Lord, which means you'd have one cluttered miniature.

AekoldHelbrass Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Cool. And I thought while reading Soul Drinkers how Luko got his claws and TL-bolter... And same with Raptors - they may have both plasma guns and pistols, while bikers have to replace ccw with special weapon...

Legatus Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Yes, it is currently possible to equip models that way. Just don't complain when it get's changed in the next Codex.

Lord Hereticus Posted January 29, 2009 Author Share Posted January 29, 2009 Something tells me the next Chaos Codex won't be out for a long while, so I probably have a couple (or three) years grace.

Zeruel Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Just thought I might add a clever way to model it would be a little familiar type character following him around holding the weapon ready for him. That's what I'd do with a Dark Angels Company Master too, model him with twin claws and have a watcher in the dark carrying his combi weapon.

Joah from Alberta Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Or you could use Abbys claw to model, Cheers, Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/158958-lightning-claws-and-a-combi-weapon/#findComment-1864142 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belfast Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 I was going to say that rather than using abbys claw, you could always attach the pistol to the wrist... it would give an interesting bit of fluff for him as well.

mightygoose Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 i miss great weapon & power weapon combo's, i gave that to so many chosen.... but does this mean we cant use pairs of power weapons, pairs of fists or pairs of Cfists, my terminator champ has a pair of fists, is he still a useable model?

Legatus Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Wouldn't demonic strength + power weapon have made for a much more effective combo? And no, weapon pairs are not available for CHaos models, except for twin lightning claws.
