Archon_77 Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 Had an odd interaction today with my opponent during our game, just how many attacks does Shrike get on the charge? I argued 6 (base primaris capt.) + 1 (shock assault) + 1 (twin lightning claws) for a total of 8. My opponent argued that it should only be 7 since The Raven's Talons do not specifically state that they are lightning claws. This seemed absurd to me, but sure enough in the codex there is no mention of the "paired lightning claws" rule for Shrike specifically. What are everyone's thoughts?

ValourousHeart Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 Primaris Captains have A5, whereas Shrike has A6, so that might be accounting for his 2 melee weapons.

duz_ Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 As Valour points out its already reflected in his profile when you compare him to other captains Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/359488-rules-question-shrike-on-the-charge/#findComment-5415296 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkimaskMohawk Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 Gotta follow the datasheet. Weapons don't automatically give certain bonuses like in past editions; twin lightning claws don't automatically grant an extra attack, they gotta say they do.

Claws and Effect Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 It's 7. As stated, the bonus from the twin claws is already reflected in his profile. They often do that with characters, who typically have no choice on what wargear they have.
