The Cronos has 2 base attacks. If it charges, it gets another attack. My question is: Do you get another attack for 2 close combat weapons? The Wargear lists a close combat weapon. I have to believe all the tenicles hanging off or the Spirit Probe would count as the additional close combat weapon - right? I am throwing onto my Cronos the weapon arms from the Talos - the claw and the hook - to customize it, so I assume that pairing would count as two close combat weapons. Any opinions?

No to the extra attack, if a model's wargear only lists a single CC weapon, thats all it gets regardless of what's modeled on it. else you'd see assault terminators with six arms or somthing

As LH said. If they wanted the model to have two CCWs, they'd have given it two CCWs in its rules. The reason a single one is listed is to make it abundantly clear that he doesn't have more than one, and doesn't qualify for an extra attack.

Thanks - guess I will need to roll well.

I'm assuming then that the Cronos has no option to upgrade with another cc weapon?

No it has not, it may take a spirit vortex and/or a spirit probe, the first is a ranged weapon, the second confers a special rule for CC but it is no CCW.

Just to make this point super clear - the army list defines what equipment a model has and the model must follow this. The model does not define the equipment.

@OP: don't put them on there. You might get away with it if you have no other pain engines of any sort in your army, but it's a WYSIWYG point of contestion.

Or just play it as a Talos

To be fair, you could probably do that anyway and no-one would mind, "More coppa" indeed.
