This may be something obvious i've missing but under options for the space marine captain it say "replace bolt pistol and/or chainsword with:" and then lists a variety of options. Does this mean i could replace both the chainsword and bolt pistol with two combi weapons or is there some precedent I'm missing. I'm working on a modeling project and wanted to see whether or not it was legal. I'm not looking for extra attacks for having two boltguns but for the modeling purposes and keeping it WYSIWYG legal. Thanks in advance

Well if it said both bolt pistol and or chain sword i see why not. Though he would have no way to fire both weapons unless otherwise stated in his rules. other than double pistols

Yes you can replace the bolt pistol for one option.

Or

You can replace the chainsword with one option.

Or

You can replace the bolt pistol and the chainsword each with one option.

On a related note, my BA assault seargent says he can "exchange bolt gun/chainsword for .." does this mean AND/OR or is does it mean AND?

I had assumed it meant AND but that would mean if i take a power weapon I lose me shooting attack. That doesn't seem right.

Would I be right in assuming this means AND/OR and I can take two hand flamers?

In this context, the slash means "or".

Fun side note to this. if you really wanted on chapter master you can run 2 TH or 2 SS. you wont get an extra attack or an extra 3++ but you can do it. Always found that funny.

2 Thunder Hammers would get you an extra attack - they aren't 2 handed weapons.

I could have sworn i read some where that models with a TH only get one attack, i would be horribly wrong, i know they get I1.

You can't give them 2 THs and 2 SSs as you have only 2 items you can trade in.

It's a good thing he said "or" and not "and" then, isn't it?

Might have been Storm shields, or Relic Blades. Models equipped with this can't get the +1 attack from 2xCCW.

Thunder hammer is a specialist weapon so if you have 2 thunder hammers you would get the +1 attack. It's brb special rules look for specialist weapon.

That luft huron forge world model would be perfect for that. He has the coolest lightning claw.
