Hey dakka

Just wondering, can a ork warboss take a Powerklaw, slugga and attack squig all at the same time. Just wondering because the model in the ork codex has it on one arm, thinking it might replace somthing.

I have this evil plan for 7 PK attacks on the charge...

Pg 42 a normal and special weapon.

Only a second powerfist, thunder hammer or lightin claw give an attack bonus.

So no extra attack for powerclaw and slugga.

Oh well 6 is still painfull, but you never told me the answer to my first question.

Yes you can but it's only six attacks.

I believe you can take them all at once.

Shoot with the slugga, then charge in with the powerclaw whilest the attack squig chews some face.

I don't think there are any "you have to have a free hand to carry that" rules but I a new to all this myself. I am sure infact that a number of codexs (plurel?) have options to give HQ 3 weapons.

Even if there is the squig dosn't have to be attached to an arm thats just how GW have modelled it. Chain it up to a nose ring or just have it running around or something.

The Attack squig is not a weapon, it's wargear. As such, you don't need to have a 'free' arm in order to use it.

So 6 attacks on the charge, go git em!

yeah ONLY 6...

Trust me 6 str10 power attacks is pretty killer!

I set my warboss up this way every game! most deadly 105 pts i can spend!

Get that beast a bike! It's time to go Land Raider hunting!

In all seriousness, yes, there is no requirement that your character have enough "free hands" to use anything. This is represented by what replaces what in the options list (really more relevant for the Big Mek anyway).

Just so I'm following - are we saying that the Attack Squig does or does not give +1A to a model with a PK? Everyone is saying six attacks - that would be 4 (the attack characteristic of the warboss) +1 for assaulting, and +1 for the Squig, right?

The PF/PK listing says that you need two PF/PKs to gain "a bonus attack," but I always took this to refer to "the bonus attack you would have gotten for having two weapons" - not an injunction against ever getting +1A from any other source.

the attack squig DOES work on a PK, as all it does is add 1 attack.

The dual PK requirement is simply to get the bonus for 2 1 handed weapons, as thast is the section that rule is found in.

OK, good... (calms down, backs away from the Panic button)

It terminator honors get +1 attack to your base attacks to be used with all your weapons, so does Attack squig.

It is not like a Space marine stops using his powerfist and takes out his sacred scroll and begins smashing an ork in the face with it yelling, "LOOK AT MY DIPLOMIA! I GOT TERMINATOR HONORS BIZZZNATCH@!"

Damnit! You got Cola all over my keyboard!

Though I have to admit, this is a really, REALLY funny thing to think about.

If you really wanted to, for fun, you could do a Big Mek with Mega Armour (replacing their Slugga) and another Power Klaw (replacing their Choppa) and give them an attack Squig, giving them 5 Power Klaw swings, and 6 on the Charge, for just 115 points. It's the only model in the army to get two Power Klaws.
