Question regarding Dark Eldar. I recently discovered my old Dark Eldar codex and was working on a list. Obviously this isn't anything formal, just a game between friends on Vassal.

The Dark Eldar Tormentor Helm grants an additional attack for close combat since it is essentially a pistol. So I was wondering if I could load my Archon up with an Agoniser, a Splinter Pistol, and a Tormentor Helm and get +2 attack in close combat(+3 on a charge!), or if it falls under the +1 Two Weapons section of the BRB on pg. 37 where I would only get +1 attack regardless?

I guess you're using the old codex?

If so then if it "counts as a close combat weapon" then you only ever get +1A for having 2 CCW, the only thing that gets more attacks than that is a dreadnought....

Yes, which is why I said "Old" Dark Eldar.

What I figured though, but the Tormentor Helm is somewhat unique, so that's why I asked.
