Ok, I'm not the cygnar player in question, my buddy is but he asked me something the other day I didn't have a straight answer. I haven't seen the exact wording on the card yet but I'm sure someone here has it. Anyway, he just picked up a jack that has two shock fists, and the shock fist rule states that is basically has sustained attack. I'm familiar with sustained attack on my cryx units BUT none of them have dual weapons with that same rule so it only ever applies to the one weapon.

My question is, since both shock fists have the same rule of "If a model is hit with a shock fist all subsequent attacks with shock fist are automatic hits" does that mean that the RIGHT HAND shock fist can hit and the left hand automatically hits? I have a feeling the rule has the wording in there of "initial attacks" which, if it does, would mean that it does not work that way as the initial attack of the right hand does not grant permission to the initial attack of the left hand, but subsequent paid-for attacks would auto-hit if the previous one hit.

I hope this makes sense on what I'm asking and I'm sorry that i don't have the exact rule on hand.

*edit* Well I sit corrected by the infernals.

The lightning pulse does the same thing and every model counts as last model hit. Really nice for assassination runs if you can get the T-Head close enough to hit the caster with the pulse.

The Thunderhead is the Jack you're referring to and all that is required is for the Thunderhead to have hit you then any subsequent additional attacks that it makes will automatically hit you.
So you could be looking at as many as five hits from the Thunderhead in one round (2 initial attacks + 3 bought attacks).

Nope. Each fist must hit separately. So hitting with left first only allows the left to hit automatically.

God, how did you find that thread!? I searched SO MUCH on pp forums and never found anything relevant.

Ya, during my searches I only ever found threads on the Pulse and did find out that, even though they all count as last model hit, only the "next" model attacked is hit automatically. Still nice, none the less.

Only if it's close enough to wander into melee range. Otherwise one of those focus will go towards making a charge.
