in close combat slugga boyz vs shoota boyz are both listed as A2... shootaz cost 2 points less and have a 2handed weapon? why would slugga boyz cost 2 points more and have a worse gun? im kinda thinking that the attack characteristic for sluggaz doesnt add in the offhand weapon they come with... so do they get 3 attacks?

basically, do sluggaz only get the 2 they're listed or 3? and also, if thats' true i wanna make sure im doing my other assault stuff right, my khorne berzerks get 3 normally and 4 on the charge right?

Unless specifically stated, the bonus for two close combat weapons is never listed in the model's profile.

Slugga boyz have choppas. Sluggas get two base attacks, plus one for slugga+choppa, and they also have the heavy close combat weapons rule. Shootas just get two attacks.

In other words: yes, the Ork Slugga Boyz get 3 attacks in close combat. 4 if they charge.

Same goes for the Berzerkers.

Sluggas shouldn't be so expensive, but still, 3 attacks is nice.
