I am re enering the Game after a long vacation and am stumped on this. I was wondering what be the purpose of having 2 wolf claws on a model vrs a bolt pistol/claw combo? Cause the wording in the codex that "A wolf claw is a lightning claw that allows the wielder to either re-roll to hit or to wounds rolls." [pg 60 SW codex.] So what be the purpose of 2 wolf claws the besides the extra attack, would it allow me to re-roll both with 2 claws?

thanks


Also could anyone link me the location of the FAQ's for 40k.

Two wolf claws gives you an extra attack that you wouldn't get with a bolt pistol.

Just the extra attack, same as with Lightning claws.

thats why most models have some sort of discount on the second wolf claw, IE: Wolf Guard in Terminator armor buy one claw for 10 points and the other for 5 points.

THE HORUS HERESY: Emprah: Hours, go reconquer the galaxy so there can be a new golden age. Horus: But I should be Emprah, bawwwwww! Emprah: Magnus, stop it with the sorcery. Magnus: But I know what's best, bawwwwww! Emprah: Horus, tell Russ to bring Magnus to me because I said so. Horus: Emprah wants you to kill Magnus because he said so. Russ: Fine. Emprah's always right. Plus Ole Red has already been denounced as a traitor and I never liked him anyway. Russ: You're about to die, cyclops! Magnus: O noes! Tzeentch, I choose you! Bawwwww! Russ: Ah well. Now to go kill Horus. Russ: Rowboat, how have you not been doing anything? Guilliman: . . . I've been writing a book. Russ: Sigh. Let's go. Guilliman: And I fought the Word Bearers! Horus: Oh shi--Spess Puppies a'comin? Abbadon: And the Ultramarines, sir. Horus: Who? Anyway, this looks bad. *enter Sanguinis* What are you doing here? Come to join me? Sanguinius: *throws self on Horus's power claws* Alas, I am undone! When you play Castlevania, remember me! *enter Emprah* Emprah: Horus! So my favorite son killed my favorite daughter! Horus: What about the Lion? Emprah: Never liked her. Horus: No one does. Now prepare to die! *mortally wounds Emprah*Emprah: Au contraire, you dick. *kills Horus* Dorn: Okay, now I just plug this into this and . . . okay, it works! Emprah? Hellooooo? Jonson: I did nothing! Guilliman: I did more nothing that you! Jonson: Nuh-uh. I was the most worthless! Guilliman: Have you read my book? Dorn: No one likes that book. Khan: C'mon guys. It's not that bad. Dorn: I guess not. Russ: You all suck. Ima go bring the Emprah back to life.

Lightning claws only get a bonus attack when paired.

See page 42 of the BRB, specifically 'A normal and a special weapon', for clarification.

Lightning Claws have always denied the bonus attack unless paired, even in 3rd...

They didn't in 4th ed, if i'm not mistaken...? You could have a BP and LC and claim an extra attack in 4th, please beat me down if i'm wrong.

You were wrong, Lightning claws, back to 3rd, have needed a pair to gain the extra attack.

The change in 4th is that powerfists (and variants) have joined the lightning claw in this requirement.
