Can Nob Bikerz have combi weapons?

If so, can they: fire their dakka gunz, fire their one off shot (or the shoota), AND assault?

Unless they gain the ability to fire two ranged weapons, they may only ever fire one. They may take what ever upgrades to the squad that are available, including combi-weapons.

Yes, Nobs on Bikes can have a combi weapon.

They are still limited to firing one gun per model. So, you can pick the TL-Dakka Gun or their combi-weapon to fire. Not both.


Also, there's no reason to make a poll. This is a very straightforward question.

Also, since all weapons are assault weapons, there's no issue at all about assaulting after firing.

I guess I need to run over that section of the rule book again :-D. I assumed combi weapons were allowed, but somebody said they weren't so I looked in the rule book and there was nothing specifing putting them on a bike would cause them to not be allowed to have the weapons, but nothing said they could keep them either.

They can have them, and nothing ni the codex prohibits you from using them so you may still use them.

As noted above Infantry can only fire one weapon, and you follow the rules for Infantry unless specified otherwise.

I was fairly sure there was somewhere that said that Attack Bikers can fire both the TL-Bolter and the Sidecar Weapon b/c they had two wounds. However, it would be a case of being TFG if you did so, but the BRB would be in your favor.

So yes your Nob can fire his pistol/shoota/combi and his TL-dakkagun

They can fire both the weapons because there are two riders. A nob on bike doesnt have two riders.

Well Ach is correct that Space Marine Attack Bikes Can fire the TL-Bolter and the Sidecar Weapon, but he is incorrect on the point that it is because they have two wounds.

P.53 BRB states "Each bike in a unit may fire one weapon for each rider on the bike. Thus a Space Marine Attack Bike with a driver and passenger in sidecar can fire two weapons."

One weapon per rider, not one per wound.

None of the poll options make sense, put me down for abstaining.

He made it a checkbox poll, just vote for all of them.

The nobz can take the Kombi weapons but you can only fire one weapon per turn since there is only one rider. But you still should give the different weapons so you can spread the wounds around,

Well if you read my post you'd know that I didn't know WHERE it came from, simply that I had read it before. I wasn't stating it even exists anymore, just that I had though I had seen it.

And DeathReaper, doesn't that mean you could simply stick a grot or another ork onto the bike and then you CAN fire two weapons. Also I know that is modelling for an advantage, but, tournament wise isn't modelling for an advantage only concerning LOS?

Just as soon as you can find a rule that allows you to add extra crewmen to the model, go for your life.

Not only are there no rules that would allow you to do that, it wouldn't be accepted by most opponents or TO's regardless of what the rules say.

Hahahah, WTF? Seriously? What makes you think it works that way? Citation Needed.

Taking the Kombiweapons is useful in multiple ways.

1. It helps with creating unique wargear profiles.
2. The shoota has a longer range than the dakka guns.
3. Having a ranged tank cracking option in your power mob is useful.

Actually, Dakkagunz and Shootas have the same range, 18 inches. Kombi-Rokkits can still shoot their Rokkits 24 inches, though.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Unless you were thinking about BIG Shootas, which do have a 36 inch range, but are not a Wargear option for Warbosses or Nobz in a Nob Mob.

Having a scorcha isn't that bad either.

I'd also like to point out that you are buying nobz and warbikers, not bikes. Same deal for the warboss. So putting anything other than a single warbiker/nob/warboss model on a bike is actually against the rules(decorative/wargear gretchin and squigs not included).

I can just see a warboss on a looted SM bike with a couple of squigs and a gretchin sitting in the side car...

Well, I now have to make that conversion.

I can't believe how many people (see poll) openly voted for something blatantly wrong. I've often admitted I didn't know a rule (or argued a finer point... often losing), but never told someone that they could do something with no rule to back it up.
