Hi everyone,

Just a quick Question.

How many attacks can a Nob/Warboss allocate to use the power klaw for. All of them? 1? or a mix?

Thanks In advance,

Brad,

All attacks are made with the same weapon (rulebook, p42).

They replace their Choppa for the Power Klaw, so all of their attacks must use the Klaw. Nobs, Warbosses, etc. all replace their Choppa for special CC weapons, and since you only get one Choppa, only one special CC weapon can be taken for each.

Would certainly add some versatility to the Warboss though, you could be able to switch between his Big Choppa and a Power Klaw for certain situations.

all of them, the only way a Nob could make an attack with a weapon other than a power klaw would be if he had a second "special" close combat weapon in which case he could split his attacks between those special weapons.

A model equipped with a special weapon cannot opt out of using it however, and will never be able to make a plain attack.

Actually, he wouldnt be able to split his attacks between special weapons, he must choose one or the other that turn (p.42 under Two Different Special Weapons)

Hmmm I suppose you are right, I kind of glossed over it before and just assumed that "half with weapon x, half with weapon y" would be a valid choice for the turn but looking again it does appear to mean that you have to use a single weapon for the entirety of a given turn.

Happens to the best of us

Hey, that rule is the only thing that let's my Carnifexes smash Nobz in CC when I add the Initiative Adrenal Gland.

You get 4 (or more) attacks that ignore armor from each guy. Why would you want to use anything else?

so do the power clawz go with the initative of one aswell????

just like a power fist
