This is somethin that has been buggin me for the last 2 days, in the options section for the warboss it says can take a squig does taking the squig replace the warboss' weapon in a single hand or can the squig be modeled onto the base of the warboss?

The squig is just a piece of gear that can be added to the warboss. An item will only replace one of his weapons if its listed under the sections where it says "may replace (slugga or choppa) with".

Aye thats what i thought but my friend was sayin some crap about it being a weapon choice as it is modeled on one of the metal warboss' you can buy, cheers fella means i can now chop off the squig and add it to his base lol

the Squig is just an extra piece of wargear. like Tank-busta bombs.


the nice thing about the squig is that he adds an attack regardless of the warboss's weapons. +1 attack for a PK FTW!!!

The squig is not listed as a weapon of any type, it's just a suitably orkish piece of stat bonus wargear.

Also, what the model looks like and where it keeps weapons has no bearing on what the rules say it does. A model that has a gun and two close combat weapons will be able to use them all in the appropriate manner, no matter if he has his hands tied, the gun stuck where the sun doesn't shine and the hand weapons stuffed in his boots. Ruleswise it's a model with some weapons, and he can use them.

A friend of mine recently claimed that old DE Blasters were Pistol weapons(at least for Wyches) because the 1 old Metal Wych model had it modeled in such a fashion.

I hit him with the old DE codex(both literally and figuratively) and called him several names questioning his intelligence.
