Hey guys,

How many attacks do THSS Terminators get on the charge?

I'm pretty sure they only can get two... but it doesn't seem correct because that is a pitiful amount of attacks.

they get 3 on the charge

Why would it only be 2 on the charge? They have 2 as listed in their profile (as does every terminator). Nothing (except defensive grenades) prevents a model from claiming its +1A for charging. You may be getting confised with 2 CCWs. Termies with 2 LCS would have 4 attacks, but THSS specifically prevents this.

Yeah, Italiaplay's got it.

Base 2+1 for charging.

You forgot the plus 1 for charging.

Dang, I knew that the SS didn't count as a CC weapon, but for some reason I thought I remembered this other rule that prevented them from gaining an extra attack on the charge. I just looked at everything and could find it... so it must have been a mistake.

Uh, gaze of flame in the necron army also prevents any bonus attacks for charging. Just sayin.

Ah, I see. You probably got confused after reading the rules for Ajac Rockfists "anvil shield" that give him an aditional attack when assaulting. But, ofcourse, this is aditional to the standard charge bonus.

It's their 2 base attacks +1 for charging so 3; why would it only be 2?

He already explained why he thought it was only 2.
