ChainsawDR Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Hi all, I've been quite thrifty on Ebay recently and have been swelling the ranks of my army. I picked up 20 blood claws yesterday and I've gotta strip the paintwork off them and repaint, but I noticed that the guy I bought them off gave lots of models two Close Combat Weapons, such as two chainswords or an axe and a knife. Before I cut off some of them and add bolt pistols, is there any benefit of having two chainswords opposed to a Bolt Pistol and Chainsword? As a Bolt Pistol is a CCW, surely it's an advantage to at least have the option of firing in the shooting phase? Any feedback on this would be great. Thanks.

King Tiger Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 its just how he modeled them, they can still shoot, its just some people have the preference of having 2 CCW's for looks, it has no added effect in game Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/161635-bcs-not-having-a-pistol/#findComment-1898213 Share on other sites More sharing options...
LPetersson Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 It's purely cosmetic, as they come with a BP in the codex. And there is no advantage in having two Chain swords rather than a BP/CCW combo. Except the model looks cool ^_^ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/161635-bcs-not-having-a-pistol/#findComment-1898215 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChainsawDR Posted February 26, 2009 Author Share Posted February 26, 2009 Thanks guys, not sure what I'm going to do now, I'd been pinching bolt pistols off some other packs to make sure each BC had one, but it's good to know that I don't need to do that anymore if I don't want to.

Yeti Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Once the paint is stripped off, you can just add the holstered pistols that come on the sprues to the model ... cool looks and WYSIWYG.

Vash113 Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Yup I do that a lot. Quite a few of my Blood Claws have 2 Chainswords and a holstered pistol, some have two pistols and a holstered combat knife. It's just for looks.

Bearboy Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 I've actually got a few dual pistols bloodclaws. And a dual bolter grey hunter. True grit that!
