Fulminata Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 I am a little disgruntled with the Chaos Lord rules. I play Iron Warriors and purchased the Warsmith model many, many years ago. He was my main HQ for many years, but when 6th edition came out, he became illegal with 2 "power fists" and his combi-melta. Refusing to ruin a great model, he was demoted to a Chosen Champion leading an all melta squad. Chees-E I know, but legal and fun. http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/hh111/fmcbide4/Iron%20Warriors/P7250055.jpg So getting to my rules question, can a Chaos Lord, who is mounted on a bike, exchange his bolt pistol for a power lance and his close combat weapon for a power fist? I don't need a ranged weapon because the bike comes equipped with combi-Bolters. I know I wouldn't be able to use both weapons in the same turn, I would spear through any challenge with the power lance first round then switch to the power fist for clean-up. Thoughts? Once I have the model finished I will share a photo. Thx. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/282132-chaos-lord-loadout/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warsmith Aznable Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 I don't see why not. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/282132-chaos-lord-loadout/#findComment-3499885 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dam13n Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 In terms of legality, you're fine. You swap the CC Weapon for the Power Lance You swap the Bolt Pistol for a Power Fist Tactically it's dubious, as the Power Lance and Power Fist don't combine for +1 Attack due to the Power Fist being a Specialist Weapon. Plus, the Lance loses effectiveness if you haven't charged. The more sound tactical set up is the Lightning Claw and Power Fist combo as the Lightning Claw is arguably better than the Power Lance, and does grant +1 Attack for 2 Specialist Weapons. But if you are favouring fluff over function, then go with whatever you like.

Fulminata Posted October 18, 2013 Author Share Posted October 18, 2013 Hmmm....if I had a lightning claw I would do that, I will have to see if I have one laying around. Here is a picture of it so far. I wasn't able to get the lance right. http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/hh111/fmcbide4/6895D562-DE06-421F-9305-12BAD31FC216-455-00000175474D34BD_zpsb07f8fe6.jpg http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/hh111/fmcbide4/8F24E8D8-8C64-4F53-8B8E-5BDC9CE957B5-455-00000175307631C9_zps3c9c08df.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/282132-chaos-lord-loadout/#findComment-3499907 Share on other sites More sharing options...
