so a chaplain says he has a power weapon, if you give him a power fist he loses his power weapon strike (but under 4th still got all his attacks) but what about a techmarine?

he has 2 servo arm attacks a power weapon, and a bolter. how manny attacks is that?

base attack of 1 plus 1 for two CC weapons (power weapon and plasma gun on Harness). = 2

2 servo arms, +1 for 2 power fists? fists = 3?

so if am i right in thinking a techmarine has 5 attacks, 6 on the charge?

now how its worded "A servo harness gives the Techmarine an extra servo-arm (giving him two servo-arm attacks)," PG 71 so i would imagine they strike indipendantly of the marine himself; with how the harness mounted weapons work this made sense to me.

this gives him two power fist attacks, and if they strike sepretly that would give him the bonus. meaning 3 strength 8 power weapon attacks.

however i don't see any other example of this in the game so that would lead me to assume.

he uses either his power weapon giving him 1+1 for the harness plasma pistol +1 for charging. so 3 attacks. but what does that do with the servo arm's?


i got all excited during ard boys because i converted a techmarine biker that was awsome on wheels, but this always confused me so i played them out as two seperate attacks with the +1 for charging going on the power weapon.

but i don't know, maybe i'm an ass hat.
