If you swap out the rods for Voidblades (CCW) and Particle Caster (Pistol) do they get an extra CC attack? Or does the fact that the void blade is a non-standard CCW negate that?

Yes; read p42, a special and normal CCW.

So does the same thing apply to wraiths with Particle casters?

Particle caster are pistols and hyper swords are cc weapons, so you get +1 attack.

Wraiths don't have Hyperphase Swords.


No, I don't believe it works for Wraiths, since it doesn't have a CCW to go with the Pistol, Phase attacks is just a special rule.

That's what I figured; probably why they didn't list the wraiths as having "Claws" or something.

You would gain +1 attack but they would not be power weapon attacks.

Wrong. Page 42 says that all attacks (special and normal CCW) use the Special CCW benefits

voidblades are not power weapons.

They would be rending and have entropic strike quality but not be power weapons, where the rod of the covenant gets the str 5 ap2 shot and is a power weapon.

Yeah?, I don't know what this has to do with the current discussion, besides correcting yourself from an earlier post.

EDIT: Seems you double posted.

No kidding, you are replacing the weapon after all.
