Meatman Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 Found something interesting in the options for a sergeant. "The space marine sergeant may replace his bolt pisol and/or chainsword with: - a storm shield.... - a plasma pistol.... - a power weapon or lightning claw.... - a power fist.... - a thunderhammer or pair of lightning claws.... " What interests me is the last option. The pair of lightning claws. It implies that you can swap the bolt pistol or chainsword for them, leaving one spare. You could potentially run dual lightning claws and a storm shield? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey Mage Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 Yeah, but if you did you wouldnt get the +1 A for 2 CCWs... so it would kinda suck eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhorneHunter57x Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 Twin Claws and Storm Shield would be, as Grey Mage said, pointless. However, you could get Twin Claws and a Plasma Pistol, a Thunder Hammer (awesome conversion) or even another set of Lightning Claws (Lightning Talons on your boots?) Also, remove the point costs from your post. It goes against forum rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Done I'm aware that storm shield as well would be a stupid idea, I was just using it as an example :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then he proceeds to dive down on them and rip them to shreds.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greatcrusade08 Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 Yeah, but if you did you wouldnt get the +1 A for 2 CCWs... so it would kinda suck eh? why wouldnt you, its the same argument with calgar and his two fists.. but since the shield is not a ccw the argument stands that he is armed with the 2 claws so must get the attack.. I cant see a counter argument but please fill me in if im wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cant see a counter argument but please fill me in if im wrong The shield rules specifically say that a model with a storm shield can not get the +1 attack for two weapons. The Calgar fists argument is very different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greatcrusade08 Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 Ah ok, no probs then... its shield specific.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander Sasha Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 Awesome...Lightning toenails... Hmm. +1 attack for the second claw; is it +1 or +2 for my toenails? Total of 4 CC weapons. Probably a hypothetical question, but I'm ill today & bored. Oh, well, just looked it up, no benefit from toenails, BRB p37, "more than 2 weapons...no additional benefit" Boo.
