I just read the FAQ for the grey knights and at the end it says
Q: If an Ordo Malleus Inquisitor takes 2 Daemonblades,
how is this resolved? (p56)
A: Roll seperately on the table for each Daemonblade.
He will gain the effects of whichever Daemonblade he
uses in that round of combat.
I dont understand this rule/statement can someone help?

Both Daemonblades will have their own pair of abilities. You can only use one blade's special rules per round of combat though.

Thx for the answer but do you think this would be cheesy in some way?

Not at all. You are pretty much spending double points on the Daemonblade just to have more of a chane of getting the particular effect you want, personally I think it's a waste of points, buying two just to get a better chance at getting the effect, I believe it would give you the extra attack for having two though

Now they need to update the FAQ again

Just depends on whether or not you can consider them the same if they have different rules. (my guess would be "no")

I think there 2-handed weapons.

They are indeed 2-handed weapons. The only thing that this FAQ does leave a bit ambiguous is the results that give USRs like Rage or FNP. Can I simply choose to use these USRs whenever I feel like? Can I ignore the rage rule because it's not the sword I'm currently using? Do I have eternal warrior sometimes but not always? The mind boggles.

The faq wasn't explicit enough, I agree. Obviously, gaining the USR eternal warrior, and the Vampric power makes for a formidable unit; and if you choose to wield the other blade in combat, say as a power weapon with additional attacks, does that work, or do you lose eternal warrior or the bonus wounds while you're using the power weapon?

I understand if one blade has additional strength and the other has additional attacks that you don't use both, but what about the static effects?
