I'm new to grey knights and had some questions...

If i take a warding stave on a paladin he gets 2 regular attacks?
If i take a brotherhood banner...does that model have no weapon to attack with in close combat or do i still get 2 attacks (if equipped on a paladin for example)

Attacks on a models profile are always available (unless some weird rule stops you) so Paladins will always have 2 attacks base.

When they charge the will obviously get the +1 attack for charging and if armed with falchions will get a furthur +1 for 2 close combat weapons.

In regards to the warding stave - it is sill a nemeis force weapons with all the rules from the codex pertaining to it.

With the banner equiped - you loose your NFW so will simply attack at base S and A with no special effects.

thanks

Every thing else was correct; this is not.

The Falchions are not a pair of CCWs; you only get the bonus attack awarded by their special rules, not the one for having 2 CCWs(what the model for the weapons looks like has no bearing on the rules).

This is an important distinction to make because in the manner Massaen wrote it one would construe that the falchions grant 4 attacks to a Terminator(2 base +1 for 2CCWS +1 for Falchion rules) which GW has Clarified to not be the case in the FAQ:

A: No, they just give +1 Attack.

Yep - the +1 is from their rules...
