Master of the Forge Attacks

[Lord Kruge]

There was a rather heated discussion at the FLGS over this one, I'm thinking of running a MotF in my IH army, so I need the help of my Battle Brothers.

 

Master of the Forge Base profile is 2

If I swap Bolter for Plasma Pistol and add Power Sword...

that makes 3.

Servo harness adds two S8 I1 attacks for a total of 5 (3 Power Weapon, 2 Servo-Arm)

Does the twin-linked plasma pistol count as another CCW, thus raising attacks to 6? (4 Power Weapon, 2 Servo-Arm)? At one point I'm pretty sure it did, but not familiar with the new rulings for 5th.

[Montuhotep]

Afraid the plasma can only be fired, it can't be used in close combat (page 71, Marine Codex, Techmarine entry).

Everything else is legal, though. :tu:

Your total here is correct.

Thanks :D

sorry to jump in here but what do t-fire gunners get, had some confusion the other day..

Thunderfire gunner is listed as having 1A, a bolt pistol and servo harness and no upgrade options. Thus I infer that he gets 1 attack+2 servo arm attacks, since it's listed nonsensically in the servo harness entry that the techmarine can't use his "plasma cutter" in CC. I say nonsensically because it's a plasma cutter, it should at the very least be able to be used in CC.

 

An Elite techmarine could up this to 2 by purchasing a power weapon, his attacks would be 1(+1 offhand)+2 Servo arm.

 

The MoTF that the OP mentions would have 3a with a plasma pistol and PW +2 servo arm attacks. You can never stack bonus attacks for more than 2 CCW(though it would almost make sense in this case, he already gets extra attacks from his harness!).

You cannot use the power sword to mix a combo of attacks, says so in the rulebook. if you want a flurry of attacks i think you have to replace it with a chainsword

you are wrong. Servo arms are aditional attacks ontop of the standard ones, and are not modified by the A profile or weapons weilded, or charging, or anything like that. So the powersword (which you had damn well better model as a techmarines cog ax) can be used for the MotF's standard attack I4 attacks, with the servo arms still going off at I1 as normal.

I did not mean the servo-arms (which if i recall might be power weapns anyway, i don't know) i meant the plasma pistol.

Plasma Pistols are nothing special in CC (just like all pistols), they just count as one additional normal CCW.

[Gaz1858]

Techmarine gunner bets 1 S4 attack and 2 servo arm attacks.

 

A plasma pistol still counts as a pistol in cc so in addition to a power weapon will give +1A.
