Mark of Slaanesh gives the deamon Rending and some funky fleet rule.
But it doesn't tell you what gets rending. Just that the deamon gets the special rule rending.
Is it on the close combat weapons? If so, why doesn't the rule explain that?

If you buy the lash of dispair (2D6 range 12 attacks) will those attacks be rending too?
How about psycic attacks?

Maybe this will make a Flying Prince with dubble Lashes duable.

Have a look at the Rending special rule (BRB pg 41). That'll clear it up for you.

The rending only aplies to the close combat attacks, it does not carry on to ranged weapons. And on another note, dual lashes?!? Not sure if legal, but damn i want to try it out

4d6 str6 shots that hit on a 2+ will most likelly drop planes like flies

Pretty sure you cant dual lash. Can only take a reward once for each daemon.

does it say so in the codex? Am at work, so don't have the codex in front of me.

And back to rending, I'm pretty sure vector strikes are still rending right?

No, Vector strikes aren't close combat attacks, they are Vector Strikes

Yeah it says under the rewards section on the top of pg 66 "Each reward can be duplicated across the army, but can only be taken once per model..."

With rending the rule states that model with a combat weapon with rending or if the model itself has rending it can get rending attacks in close combat it then goes on to say if the model has a ranged weapon with rending then their ranged attacks will rend.

Basically the whip doesnt rend and you can only have one.

It's not that they are not CC attacks (which is true). It is that Vector strike does not benefit from any special rules or wargear.

Why is it JUST for Close Combat?

Because that is what the rule for Rending says?

**Xeriapt**

Yeah, if you want rending on shooting you need a weapon that has rending. The whip does not have it unfortunately.

Its still pretty effective though, especially if you can grab iron arm.

**Bloodhorror**

Oh yeah so it does!

The first 6 times i read it, i missed out Close combat attacks...
