Callidus gets +1 Attack - Offical

[Gentlemanloser]

:)

 

With the new Rulebook FAQ, the issue of whether the 1 Handed Assault class Nural Shredder grants an extra attack in CC alongside the C'Tan balde has been answered. ;)

 

Q: What weapons count as single-handed weapons for the

purposes of gaining additional attacks in close combat? (p37)

A: All pistols, close combat weapons and any weapons

that are specifically stated as single-handed weapons in

their rules.

From reading the Neural Shredder rule in the Daemonhunters codex, I'm not seeing where it's specified as a one-handed assault weapon. Is that specific to the Witchhunter codex, maybe?

[ArmouredWing]

If memory serves me correct it's already been covered in the WH FAQ/Errata that a neural shredder is a single handed weapon and so bestows the +1 A.

[Gentlemanloser]

The FAQ stated it was a 1 Handed Weapon.

 

But being an Assault Weapon, and not a Pistol (or a CCW), it never (by RAW) granted the extra +1 attack.

 

Now, the main rulebook FAQ, in conjunction with the DH/WH FAQ, seals the deal.

 

The Nural Shredder gives +1 Attack, RAW. ^_^

Awesome. So many times that extra attack could have made a difference. Gonna work on fielding the callidus in my next game just to use that.

it gives +1 attack? COOL. i always thought one-handed weapon meant you could only hold a certain amount or something. :( thanks so much.

At one point a model could only carry a one-handed weapon and either a one-handed or two-handed weapon (so you couldn't carry, for example, a bolter and a set of lightning claws...or a bolter, bolt pistol, and chainsword). That official rule died with 3rd Edition, but the Daemonhunters Codex dates from then, so hence why it mattered. Nowadays...the only thing it matters for is extra attacks.
