Rules Question

[JMac]

In the 5th edition rules, for using a special close combat weapon and a normal close combat weapon, it states:

 

"These models gain one additional attack. All of their attacks, including the bonus attack, benefit from the special weapon's bonuses.

 

Power fists, thunder hammers and lightning claws are an exception to this. Only a second power fist, thunder hammer or lightning claw can confer a bonus attack to a model equipped with one of these weapons."

 

 

My question comes when I want to replace a Wolf Lord's bolt pistol with a Wolf Claw. His profile grants him 4 attacks, is 1 of those attacks a bonus for having a two (BP & CCW) close combat weapons?

 

If so, replacing the bolt pistol with a Wolf Claw (as it would count as a lightning claw) would result in 1 less attack unless paired with another Wolf Claw, correct?

 

Thanks,

JMac

 

I searched up and down the FAQs ft find for this question, and couldn't find a ruling. If I missed it, I apologize.

Unless stated, the profile does not include the +1A for 2nd CCW.

 

If the profile says 4, and he has 2 CCW (e.g. chainsword and bolt ppistol) then he will roll 5 attacks (6 on the charge).

 

If he swaps the pistol for a Wolf Claw then he still gets his normal 4, but no bonus for 2nd CCW, for a total of 4 (5 on the charge)
