mis3q Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Do the CSM get an additional attack from two sigle-handed weapons when assulting if they have in thier wargear: Bolt pistol, close combat weapon and a bolter? Im asking because I've got a bit confused when I've played with my friend and he told I have no bonus, but wasen't that like in the old codex that I had to choose if I wanted either a bolter or a pistol? ++ fixed heading :mellow: ++ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/159756-assaulting/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steelmage99 Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Yes, they do get +1 Attack. I don't remember what the old codex said and it doesn't matter anyway. They have a Bolter, a Bolt Pistol and a Close Combat weapon now. No choice is involved.

Mcrat Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 *Bump* I've got a somewhat similar question, so I'll post it in this topic. If I give my assault marine a chain sword + plasma pistol, I know that confers a +1 attack for 2 CCW. However I just want to clarify something about the extra attack (or attacks assuming he was assaulting)... From the 40K errata and faqs - All of their attacks, including the bonus attack, use the special weapon’s bonuses and penalties. As I read this, it seems that the assault marine will get to fire the plasma pistol twice in combat, or three times if he is assaulting. I just want to double-check that is right, and that one attack doesn't use the chainsword profile, and another the plasma pistols (because then I would be confused as to which profile to use for the third attack :D ). Any clarification would be appreciated :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/159756-assaulting/#findComment-1902512 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cedric Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Rulewise, pistols are never, ever actually FIRED in close combat. They work as any CCW. Just picture your marines clubbing the enemy rather than firing point blank. :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/159756-assaulting/#findComment-1902518 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mcrat Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Ahh ok thanks for the answer. I've reread the assault phase section as well and realised that weapon profiles never come into it (ie - I can't shoot the plasma pistol in CC as it's strength and AP are ignored). And now that I know that, I might as well put the plasma on the captain with the powerfist (didn't want to do that before because of "Two different special weapons" rule, but I misunderstood it so all good). I'm yet to play a game, just merrily gluing and painting away, but trying to get my models to work rule wise :D Thanks again for the help.
