bluecthulhu Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 I did not see this question posed before in this forum... May the space marine bikers who trade their bolt pistol for a special weapon like a flamer or meltagun make any attacks in close combat? They will not have a pistol or close combat weapon left in their gear... Hope this was not an obvious question....

Morticon Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 It is a slightly obvious answer, but don't worry about that mate. Welcome to the forums. The bolt pistol is not what gives you close combat attacks. Your profile is. The bikers have a regular "A" value of 1, so no matter what special weapon you have for the regular guys, you'll have one attack and +1 on the charge. Hope that helps. My advice is (dont take offence to this please! Cause the rulebook is really, really dense but) to have another read through the rule book, especially the first part of it that explains the profile stuff. Sometimes gets confusing for newer gamers.

jsutter Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 There is probably a tire iron hidden somewhere, or maybe they use a spare chain :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/160593-bikers-with-special-weapons-during-assault/#findComment-1884679 Share on other sites More sharing options...

shatter Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 The rules speak of rifle butts and so forth being used. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/160593-bikers-with-special-weapons-during-assault/#findComment-1885968 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maligoare Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 On bikers at least, the bolt pistol seems to be there to swap for something more useful (special weapon, power weapon). Other than that there is no point to it due to bikes being relentless.
