So the Swarmlord has 4 of those nasty other-galactic bonesabers. Does this count as TWO sets of two CCWs?.. thus +2 to basic attack stat?

.. or is that already included in its statline?

6 base attacks at I[more than yours], and WS [far more than yours] is just... wrong.

I'm not entirely sure where, because I don't have it in front of me right now, but don't Tyranids have a rule that says they don't get additional attacks from multiple weapons now?

The weapon bio-morphs just kinda' do what they do.

Where extra attacks are included in the profile, the unit's entry will say so.

However, unless the Tyranid codex has special rules about having more than two CCW's, the normal rules for CCW's only grant the +1 for one additional weapon. Any more than that grants no additional bonus.

Tyranids do not use CCWs, so they never get an extra attack for having two sets.

pg 33 under tyranid close combat weapons. "tyranid models never recieve bonus attacks for fighting with more than one close combat weapon." that seems pretty cut and dry. did you buy and read the codex?

Yeah, sorry but ol' Swarmy just gets his regular four insta-killing-armor-penetrating-rerolling-invulnerable-saves attacks. Still not too shabby.

That'll do it, then.
