If you equip your chapter master/captain with a wrist mounted storm bolter, can you give him 2 close combat weapons also?

Wherever a weapon is wrist mounted plays no part in how many weapons you can take. The options will be clearly laid out in your codex.

but it dosent say how many weapons you can take i believe

Your codex will say "May swap x/y weapons for the following options".

it says you can change the bolt pistol/bolter for the following-
so then you can only take on of the choices then?

In those circumstances it refers to and/or, so you can swap either weapons or both.

so i can run a bolt pistol and a storm bolter?

Should be fine if your codex says so. Why you would want to though is beyond me.

I'm trying to imagine how you can wield a big honking storm bolter on your wrist and fire a pistol from the same hand without shooting up your gun...all I'm getting are grey knights firing like gangstas.

I modeled a captain doing that... biker arms work well for this purpose...
also this should be in YMDC not proposed rules

There are no rules regarding how many weapons a model can have. The only restrictions are that a model can only fire one ranged weapon unless explicitly allowed to fire more.

You could mount your captain's stormbolter on his helmet and have an auxiliary grenade launcher mounted in his codpiece.

Someone did a BA army based off rap stars... I saw it in P&M on some forum. They all had caps and gold teeth and pimped out landraiders. It was nice

Well, Draigo's got the attitude.
