Multiple weapons on single character

[Brother Syddraf]

Is it possible to have 2 different weapons on one character such as a combi-melta and a combi-plasma.

Was looking at a copy of the digital codex and the wording has it as,

"A model may replace its boltgun, bolt pistol and/or Melee weapon"

Purely wanting to know so i can add a completely over the top Master Astoran,

Master of the 3rd and Master of the Arsenal to my list of stuff to make.

Thoughts...

GW may have given the go ahead with the Deathwatch character with a bolter and 2 CCW's. The trouble is that you would only be able to use one combi at a time and lose an attack in close combat because one of the melee weapons is gone.

Would be cool to see the second combi slung on the model though.

Double barreled combi melta/flamer? Twin combi plasma? I love how beastly this could look on a model.

Like GM Belial pointed, you can, but you must be aware of the limitation, since you can only fire one weapon per turn. But if if for looks only wht not? :)

That would be awesome...heavily engraved Benelli over/under plasma/plasma, with the boltgun alongside...

Although there is the question about how the character would manage to carry all that gear. Doghouse made a great thread back in 2007-8 with a DIY chapter that had a chapter master who had just about every piece of wargear possible on him. It was legal then too, but did look particularly daft. ;)

That's what watchers in the dark are for, carrying all that gear.
