Token Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 If a Space Wolf terminator has both a wolf claw and a Power fist, does it recieve an extra attack for having two specialist weapons? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreyCrow Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Yep, because Specialist Weapon only requires another weapon with the Specialist rule, not the weapon of the same kind :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Token Posted July 22, 2014 Author Share Posted July 22, 2014 Thanks for the answer. Good, pretty cool with a model that has diffirent weapons in each hand too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shortysl Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Note however that in melee combat, you would still have to choose which of the two weapons you are benefitting from. A Power Fist and Lightning Claw for example, would NOT give you X2 Strength with the Shred USR. you would have to specify which melee weapon you're using, but the +1 Attack would always be present.

Teetengee Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 When a model has both lightning claw and powerfist, can they split their attacks based on weapon? (It just occurred to me as I was thinking about how they can choose a different one each fight phase). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shortysl Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 I'm pretty certain the answer is no. As far as I'm aware, you have to select the weapon that you'll be using at the beginning of the Fight sub-phase, and you can't split your Attacks between weapons. I'm still working on an assumption from 6th Edition here though so if someone has the 7th Edition rulebook to hand and can prove me wrong, please do.

Token Posted July 23, 2014 Author Share Posted July 23, 2014 I Think that Logan Grimnar has a special ability, allowing him to split up his attacks, so dont Think normal troops can split. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dam13n Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Usually a model picks which weapon he/she/it is fighting with in each round of combat and all their attacks are made with that weapon. There are certain characters (like Logan) who can split their attacks over 2 weapon profiles, but they are an exception - not the rule. Another exception is wargear that adds an extra attack (or more) like some of the Tyranid tail biomorphs and the Chaos combat familiar. The Fist / Claw combo does mean that whichever weapon you choose to attack with, the other will give you +1A via the "2 Specialist weapons" mechanic, as it nowhere specifies that they have to be the same specialist weapon. However, the profiles do not stack and you can't mix attacks (unless the model has a special rule allowing him to do so). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sophiearcher Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 When a model has both lightning claw and powerfist, can they split their attacks based on weapon? (It just occurred to me as I was thinking about how they can choose a different one each fight phase). No you have to pick one or the other for all your attacks, you can howver use the fist in your assault pahse and the claw in the enemies assault phase. unless your logan or horus who can split freely. but they need their rule to do so. you do gain the bonus attack for 2 specialist weapons and can pick the profile best suiting your current needs same as having a sword/axe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoots Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Hi there Further to this I need to ask if any one can help me with regards to my digital copy of the 7th rulebook, in it it only classifies powerfists as having the specialist weapon rule in their profile, all other power weapons do not have this rule in their profile?? Is this something that others have seen? do I need to try and update my copy? is it simply an omission by GW? Also are force weapons specialist? i.e do you benfit +1A if you have a force sword and a power axe many thanks hoots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolemai Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Force Weapons are not specialist weapons, neither are Power Weapons. A Power Fist is not (despite the name) a Power Weapon, has it's own separate entry and is a specialist weapon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kristoff Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Also add Chain Fists, Thunder Hammers, and Lightning Claws to the list of Specialist Weapons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolemai Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Also, Servo Arms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoots Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 ah i've spotted this and you are right thanks very much. so dual melee weapons = an additional attack; and dual specialist weapons = an additonal attack. but still not the combination of one melee and one specialist. if I upgrade a techmarine ot have a specialist weapon (lightning claw) and he comes with a servo arm does he now get: 1 (base) +1 (servo arm) +1 (lightning claw) giving him 3 or 4 (on charge)? i doubt im going to be doing this anytime soon buts its nice to know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
