JamesI Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Sure. Its very expensive, and you can't get the +1 attack for having 2 weapons if you do it so generally its not worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LPetersson Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 What JamesI said, But if you take two of the same power weapon then you do get the +1A ;-) So model a wolf guard rocking with two Thunder Hammers and show us over in the fang...

thade Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 You haven't lived until you've modeled and fielded a guy with two thunder hammers; totally worth it. Endless lolz. I have been considering building a captain with a TH and a Lit Claw lately, giving him both an anti-vehicle option and anti-infantry option when in melee. He does have to choose which weapon he uses each phase and I'm pretty sure he can't mix and match within a phase (? no book atm). The issue is I do think it's folly to have an IC that doesn't take advantage of his high initiative (a hammer/fist swings at I1) but I loathe having any heroic model that can't throw down with a Dreadnought in a pinch (Lit Claws are disappointingly ineffective). Anyway, the core of it all is "Yes, you can" but you can only choose one to use for a given assault phase. It adds flexibility. A note on what LPeterson said...a power weapon need not have a second power weapon of the same kind to get +1A (indeed, power weapon + pistol does the trick), unless that weapon is a special weapon (lit claw, power fist, thunder hammer)...then the offhand weapon must be identical to get +1A (twin LCs, twin PFs like Calgar, etc).

I totally want to do that. are there any boxes that come with both a right and a left arm holding a TH?

Yes, good point. I recognise my failing and will strive to correct it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thade Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 slightly OT ;) but in answer to your question, not that I've seen. I picked up the TH/SS kit from GW Direct and hacked up a power axe and some sprue to convert up a TH for the other hand. Even easier than it sounds.

That's exactly how this guy was born. http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/ll293/awfulawful/hammers.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
