They might not be the most popular wargear, but anyway: What do these incorporate? It says they add 1 attack and that you may reroll to hit and to wound.
The problem is that it says they house twin-linked shuriken pistols, but I don't know if that is written in its fluff or in its rules. What would you say?
I feel it is a bit strange that they write the pistols are twinlinked, if that would be the fluff behing them...

I've never heard anything about Chainsabres housing pistols. The Scorpion's Claw, however, houses a shuriken catapult, I believe. . .

It says they are blades paired with ancient gauntlets that house twin-linked shuriken pistols.

Yeah, it is quite confusing, since the fluff blurb says they house twin-linked shuriken pistols. If you read the entry strictly it says that the Exarch gets +1 Attack and can re-roll all failed to hit and to wound rolls (emphasis mine). That would technically mean that when you use the shuriken pistols you also get to re-roll failed rolls to hit and to wound. Of course, it's not really game-breaking since it means you can re-roll to hit and to wound rolls for a single strength 4 shot from a model with BS 5.

Yeah, I guess that is what was intended, I just found it wierd they wrote they were twin-linked and all in the fluff.
