Just checking my logic here--does a character with a Power Fist use his basic Attack characteristic to determine the number of attacks?
For example:

CSM Champion: Power Fist, Bolter, and Bolt Pistol
Attack Characteristic: 2 attacks
Bolt Pistol: +0 attacks
Total # of attacks: 2 attacks

And for reference, same guy without a power fist:

CSM Champion: Close Combat Weapon, Bolter, and Bolt Pistol
Attack Characteristic: 1 attack
Bolt Pistoll: +1 attack
Total # of attacks: 3 attacks

almost but not quite.

a model with a powerfist/thunderhammer/lightning claw doesnt get any additional attacks from having a second close combat weapon, unless it is one of the same type (like marneus calgar and his two powerfists for example). they still receive bonus attacks from other sources, like charging or a IG player revealing a holy relic or something.
