Xenith Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Im in a bit of a quandry. The Melee weapons section of the wargear list says: A model may replace his bolt pistol and/or close combat weapon with one of the following: Lightening Claw....................xxpts Does this mean I can swap: my bolt pistol for a claw OR my CCW for a claw OR both for a claw. The BP or CCW for one of the following is a bit confusing. It would make sense to be able to swap the bp for a claw and the ccw for a claw, but the rules don't seem to allow it. Or am I being dumb?

Olis Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 I sincerely hope they can otherwise my Big Bad that's going to get a new model could very well be invalid, game wise. And that would suck. <_< Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/263182-can-a-pa-chaos-lord-actually-take-2-lightening-claws/#findComment-3206228 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.darkness Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 In every codex I've ever seen then that wording means that you can take two things from the list, by replacing both weapons, so most people play it like that, as we're pretty sure its RAI. even GW wouldn't give you the option of swapping one or both of your weapons for a single new one, would they?? RAW both sides have a valid argument, so no-one can really pull anything on you, as you just say that it can also be read your way, and carry on playing.

Spacefrisian Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 And/ or is pretty straight forward. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/263182-can-a-pa-chaos-lord-actually-take-2-lightening-claws/#findComment-3206254 Share on other sites More sharing options...
T0MMY Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Yeah, you can either swap one of the weapons for a lightning claw OR both of the weapons each for a lightning claw. Process goes: 1. swap close combat weapon for lightning claw. 2. swap bolt pistol for lightning claw. 3. Your Lord has a pair of lightning claws; 30pts. Wahey! They won't sell many of these otherwise! http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/...Id=prod1710110a Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/263182-can-a-pa-chaos-lord-actually-take-2-lightening-claws/#findComment-3206267 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenith Posted October 12, 2012 Author Share Posted October 12, 2012 And/ or is pretty straight forward. Yes, you can swap your bp and/or ccw for a single claw. Its not that cut and dry. I'll be playing: "May swap his bp or ccw for any item from this list" Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/263182-can-a-pa-chaos-lord-actually-take-2-lightening-claws/#findComment-3206281 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacinda Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 It means he can swap his bolt pistol for a lightning claw and his close combat weapon for a lightning claw. It does not get any more cut and dry than that.

TheDarkOne Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 or for 10 pts more, he can swap for a fist and a claw as discussed in another thread and have all the benefits of both with out losing the +1 attack.

Caffeineated Chaos Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 or for 10 pts more, he can swap for a fist and a claw as discussed in another thread and have all the benefits of both with out losing the +1 attack. which after reading the "Specialist Weapon" rules for 6th ed, I'd been hoping we'd get the option, very happy we do Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/263182-can-a-pa-chaos-lord-actually-take-2-lightening-claws/#findComment-3206357 Share on other sites More sharing options...
