A question came to me yesterday as I was digging through the BGB, and I wonder if I have been shafting myself. Which, if any, of the following upgrades add the extra attack for having 2 CCWs:

Paired Boneswords
Lashwhip/Bonesword
Scything Talons (unlikely, but you do get them in pairs)
2 sets of Scything Talons (more likely)
Rending Claws + Scything Talons
Scything Talons + Crushing Claws

IMO, the first 2 on the list should grant the extra attack, the 3rd probably shouldn't, but I am really fuzzy on the rest of it.....

None. Read your codex special rules, and note that at NO POINT do tyranids EVER use CCW. EVER.

Yeah - I don't have my books with me but iirc it's page 33. Tyranids never get a bonus for multiple CCW. You just get special effects from the nifty biomorphs.

edited to correct page number. Thanks Tangent.

Right, the nids don't gain the attacks from extra CCW's ever. It's in the codex

Ok, somehow I missed that. Shows why you have to reread things. Thanks

Good thing I saw this! By the way, I just looked it up and it is at the top right of page 33 in the Tyranid codex.
