thade Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 My techmarine is geared up with a full servoharness (two PF attacks basically) and a power weapon/bolt pistol (two power weap attacks, +1 on the charge)...thats how I've been playing it. When he charges in, he gets +1 attack...and I have been presuming that the extra attack is "front-loaded"...that is, he gets 3 PW attacks at init 4, and 2 servo arm attacks at init 1. The guess here is that I'm not allowed to use that extra attack with the servo arms instead (that is, 2 PW attacks, 3 Servo Arm attacks at init 1). If I am in fact allowed to do this, I really don't see a reason not to! EDIT: poor grammar.

Brother Pugnax Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 It seems to me that you get the extra attack for having a second weapon in your off hand. Since the harness is in neither hand, you wouldn't be able to claim an offhand CCW bonus. Also, you wouldn't get a extra attack for a PF for the PF/pistol combo, so I would logically extend that to harness.

Gothical Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 The extra attack only applies to the Techmarine's weapons - so he gets 2+1 Power Weapon attacks on the charge in this case. The issue preventing you from giving an extra attack to the Servo-Arms is the Codex description of Servo-Arms and the Servo-Harness. The codex states that a Servo-Arm provides a single Str8 hit. The Servo-Harness states that it comes with 2 servo arms (providing you with 2 Str8 hits). As it is a flat "single attack" there is no way it can be boosted by extra weapons or the charge or anything like that.

thade Posted September 9, 2009 Author Share Posted September 9, 2009 Yeah, that's how I interpreted as well. Guess I'll keep playing that way. =) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/178063-how-does-the-techmarine-work-in-cc/#findComment-2105255 Share on other sites More sharing options...
