So I noticed alot of models here and there for empire captains weilding two pistols, now in 8th ed it is said that any model carrying more than one pistol has a 'brace', simple enough, but... The captain profile for Empire only lists the option to purchase a pistol for 6pts, while models like marksmen specify a 'brace' of pistols (but no option for a single pistol) as a choice. Is it assumed captains can take the Pistol twice? In other words 12 points for a 'brace' of pistols? or can you only take one?

If the options say he can take 1 pistol, then its only 1

well its not listed that cut and dry "May have a great weapon (+4pts), a halberd... ... and/or Pistol for (+6 pts)." but I get your point, I just wasn't sure, to me it seemed like it could go either way.

"A" pistol. IF you take 2 pistols you have not taken A pistol.
