caboosebe Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 At the Chaos Wargear List section it is stated at melee weapons: "A model can replace his bolt pistol and/or close combat weapon with one of the following. Is it therefore possible, to replace a bolt pistol for a lightning claw, and then replace combat weapon with an other lighting claws, paying 30 points and have dual lightning claws? Thanks Caboose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cypher 89 Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 yep i believe thats the idea behind it , from the way i read it you could take any dual cc weapons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verbal Underbelly Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Do you get an extra attack if you are armed with 1 lightning claw and 1 power fist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urauloth Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Yes, that's how you get pairs of lightning claws on champions and ICs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Sage Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Do you get an extra attack if you are armed with 1 lightning claw and 1 power fist? I was about to say no, but then I cheacked my little book, and the answer is actually yes. Hmm...Makes for an expensive set up, but we did not have this particular choice of arms previously. Interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warsmith Aznable Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Do you get an extra attack if you are armed with 1 lightning claw and 1 power fist? They're both specialist weapons, so I believe that's a yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDarkOne Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 40 pts for +1A, -1 pistol, and the ability to hit with a fist or a claw? not so bad... may be the answer for chaos lords who are unable to take awesome daemon weapons (non khorne)... can still have a combi melta...

Iron Sage Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Do you get an extra attack if you are armed with 1 lightning claw and 1 power fist? They're both specialist weapons, so I believe that's a yes. It`s kind of odd really (not complaining though!!!), as no one in their right mind will ever go for twin claws when it costs the same to have BOTH a power fist AND a lclaw, and you only gain from it, and lose absolutely nothing. Damn good set up on a champ when I come to think of it. Expensive for sure, but only 5 points more expensive than our old Power fist was (that used to be 25 points, right?)

Agerjag Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Yes, you get the extra attack and can choose your weapon based on what you need at the time :D Its best on terminator champs as they get cheaper options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ammonius Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Just this morning I was sending myself an email about a Jump Pack Khorne Lord with this weapon setup. I may run him with a Huron counts-as and infiltrate him with a unit of Khorne-Marked, Icon of Wrath Raptors. As a side note: The raptor box comes with all the parts needed to build our specialist weapons specialist Edit: Sadly, a Lightning Claw and a Power fist are not the same price. We are looking at a kinda pricy Lord. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iron Sage Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Oups ,, sorry my mistake that. Read the wrong line in the codex unfortunatly. Good I did, since this didn`t make much sense :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khestra the Unbeheld Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 dont`have dex on me... is LC 15 and PF 15? 30 pts? thats awesome... def gonna use... no pf is 25pts and lc is 15 pts That's still not necessarily a deal breaker. It used to cost 40 points to drop a daemon weapon on a power-armor Lord. If you're already planning on going all-melee with the guy, who cares if you lose his firepower if you can flip-flop between slash and mash that doesn't get all stupid on you if you roll a 1?

That's a good point! Also, since there is a limited number of daemon weapons/artefacts that you can take (a limitation that extends even into apocalypse, where you might have several HQ guys running around) you can use this setup on any number of Lords.

Haunter! Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 This is the setup I was looking at doing for my jump pack lord. It's the cheapest way to get an extra PF attack in the game. If you're going in termie armor you can take a chainfist instead of a powerfist just because it's hilarious(ly expensive). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellrender Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Does this then also work for double power weapon (say 1, axe and 1 sword.. for depending on what you attack), because i can imagine a lord wielding a sword and axe, which should look cool modelling wise, but fist and claw.. cant imagine that..

Amalricus Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Well claws are basically fists with pointy bits coming out of the front, you could model both on one hand, providing the other hand is free of any weapon to avoid confusion. That way the character can carry a book, a trophy, a grenade, a lunchpack or anything you fancy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julgolax Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 I would like to know if I could possibly get a Chaos Lord with a pair of Chainswords or a pair of Power Mauls. Possible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
space wolf Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 chainswords no. Power mauls...I don't see why not... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDarkOne Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Power maul is two handed is it not? Also, a pair if chainswords, why? O_o? He already has bolt pistol ccw... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacinda Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Power maul is two handed is it not? Also, a pair if chainswords, why? O_o? He already has bolt pistol ccw... While a maul is actually a 2 handed weapon, in 40K a maul is any sort of club or mace. It is a normal single handed weapon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Excessus Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Power mauls are not two-handed, why would they be that? You can exchange both the ccw and bp with a power weapon(maul)...though I don't see a reason to spend twice as many points as you need... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Smurfs plastic lunchbox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
