JEFF4i Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 Can a Wolf Guard, Wolf Lord, whatever dual wield Frost Axes? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/167003-character-gear/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gyson_Vore Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 I believe the rules at the begining of the wargear section states that a model cannot have a duplicate of any item, so I would say no. A frost axe and a normal axe (CCW) would be possible, as you count all your attacks as power weapon with strength +1 anyways.

JEFF4i Posted April 25, 2009 Author Share Posted April 25, 2009 Ahhhh, missed that, duh. Course I could take a Frost Axe and Power Weapon. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/167003-character-gear/#findComment-1967254 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long Fang Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 If you take frost blade AND a power weapon you have to pick which one to use. Multiple special weapon rule in rulebook, I'll find the page number later if you need it. Hope that helps Long Fang Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/167003-character-gear/#findComment-1967262 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey Mage Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 Ahhhh, missed that, duh. Course I could take a Frost Axe and Power Weapon. Why in the name of russ would you do that? Take a FrostBlade and a CCW. You get the extra attack, you can model it however you want, and it only costs you one point. Dont bother with this other stuff, youll waste points for no reason.

kickme829 Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 or just take a frost blaed and bolt pistol that way you get +1 attack AND shoot Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/167003-character-gear/#findComment-1967273 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey Mage Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 Yeah, but then its not WYSIWYG which is important to some people. With the option to buy just a regular CCW he can model it however he wants, save as a lightning claw powerfist or chainfist.... because all it ever does is gives that extra attack.

Vassakov Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 No, no unit may take the same weapon twice as per the bit at the top of the C:SW armoury. As said, there are many combinations of weapons available - a Frost Blade + Pistol, or Storm Shield, or Combi Weapon are probably the best ones for I5.

thewolfpriest Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 the special weapon rule only applies for lightning claws, power fist and thunder hammer dudes, relax in all the other characteristics the frost blade is just a power weapon with +1S so if you add a boltpistol you get your extra attack Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/167003-character-gear/#findComment-1967326 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long Fang Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 Two different special weapons"When it is their turn to attack, these models must choose which weapon to use that turn, but they never get the bonus attack for using two weapons (such is the penalty for wielding too many complex weapons!)"

Grey Mage Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 Yes, but it works just find with a pistol or a CCW and a Frostblade or powerweapon. They dont have special rules, and thus arent subject to two special close combat weapons issues.

JEFF4i Posted April 25, 2009 Author Share Posted April 25, 2009 Yeah, going to go Frost Axe and CCW. Its more a, "I want him to look this way" thing. I'll toss a pistol on the hip, so he gets it, but still, just want a unit using two melee weapons, and thought if I could get +2 Strength that'd be sweet!
