Epimetheus13 Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Probably a silly question, but pls help me out. The melee weapon section says: "A model may replace one weapon with one of the following." How do people generally interpret that? Is it: - ONLY one weapon can be exchanged for a melee weapon (so can never have more than 1 weapon from this list) or - ANY one weapon may be exchanged for a melee weapon (so can have as many weapons from this list as he has weapons to swap with; usually 2) By contrast, the Ranged weapon list clearly allows models to carry two ranged weapons: "A model may swap his bolt pistol AND/or his close combat weapon..." I'd like to build a Captain who swaps his bolt pistol and chainsword for a Lightning Claw and Powerfist - both specialist weapons, so he gets +1A, and he can use whichever one depending on the situation. And if he really needs to shoot something, he can still throw a krak grenade. :-) Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stercus Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Definitely possible to have two melee weapons. Power fist/lightning claw is a favoured build for many of the competitive gamers on this forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaplain Lucifer Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Yes, he may take 2 melee weapons. But for the price of a LC and a powerfist you could probably go for a mace of redemption for cheaper, still no AP2... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epimetheus13 Posted January 10, 2015 Author Share Posted January 10, 2015 Thanks for confirming! Yeah, its 10 pts more than the mace, but I'll pay that to get the AP 2 choice and likely S8 ID, even if it is unwieldy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
