So a friend and I were playing a game a while back, and something came up that didn't seem right, and I want your opinion on it.
The Scenario is this:
My Crusader was fighting his Juggernaught with some back up from my Revenger. My Crusader's inferno mace arm had been removed so all he had remaining was his open fist. I figured, heck all I've got to worry about right now is that nasty axe of his. So I use my open hand to arm lock his axe, and succeed. Now on his turn he wants to arm lock my open hand with his open hand, saying that this will remove my armlock, and put me in an arm lock, because an locked limb can not participate in any special actions (such as armlocking something). My question is this: Does that work? does it count as a special action to maintain an arm lock? or just to start one? What does Dakka think?

Fairly certain you can't make special attacks while locked. Top of Page 52 actually specifically says that. So he can't make a armlock as he can't make special attacks.

Cool, thats just what i was looking for thanks! I new there had to be something barring that because that just seemed silly! thanks again!
