You know that Chaplain model, the one with the sculpted on 'ribs'?

The one with a Crozius AND a Powerfist?

How does this work in the new rules?

Do you get to choose which weapon to use?

(I'm at work right now, without my rulebook, and I'm planning out purchases... Please help!)

Thanks!

You may choose which special weapon to use, power fist or power weapon (crozius).

The change in 5th was the inability to "turn off" special weapons. If you have 1 special weapon and 1 generic ccw you must use the special weapons rules.

Thanks!

That model has grown on me, and now just might make it into my next order...

...and won't get the +1 for having 2 CCWs.

Rather the power fist will not grant +1 attack unless used in conjunction with another power fist which cannot be done with the chaplins unit entry.

Even with another powerfist, unless he lost the Crozius he wouldn't get the +1, as models with two different SCCW's don't get the +1 attack.




Edited to be a little less catty now that I'm a little more awake...

Hehe, its a non issue.

Catty HAH, I get it, avatar an all ....

Well that whole point is moot since the current SM codex doesn't allow you to replace the Crozius with a 2nd power fist.

Basically, you should have the choice of attacking at normal strength, initiative, and attacks (Crozius), or double strength, initiative of 1, and normal attacks (Power Fist). Either way you only get 2 attacks (3 when charging).

Still handy to have the choice. Huron Blackheart gets this choice, and Warptime to boot!
