There are numerous reasons why a Storm Shield will not give you an additional attack when used in conjunction with a NFW

As far as the DH codex is concerend it does... Apparently in the BBB it says somewhere that a model with at SS can't have an extra attack but as we know, codex trumps all. Blah, I don't want to get off topic with an arguement on this. At the very least it gives the GM a 4+ CC save although why not just take an icon then and let him keep his storm bolter?

The reasoning is that if the Storm Shield is in fact a one handed CCW, it would qualify as a SPECIAL close combat weapon as it confers a bonus in close combat (a 4+ save) and as such it cannot be combined with another special close combat weapon (a Power Weapon) for a bonus attack, as per the BBB.

Where did you get that stormshield if you don't mind me asking? That unit is the hotneuse!

Glad you guys like it! That is the sarge's storm shield from the assault termie box. I used added green stuff to get the raised lettering and I used the standard termie storm shield arm (with a GS crest) for the rest.

 

Our local club allows interprets the SS as a close combat weapon for DH and so grants the extra attack. I figure when (or if) we get a new book, I take the 3++ invul versus the extra attack any day.
