Maulerfiends has 2 powerfist. Both are specialist and unwieldy weapon.

- Does that +1 to its attack?
- What initiative is the powerfist hitting at? (Usually its I1, but maulerfiend is a walker)

If it does. It gives it a 3 attack base. 4 on a charge, and 5 if equiped with magma cutters(provided at least 1 attack hits) and 6 if all the hits are scored.

Can someone point me to the right page on BRB?

the rules you want are both USR's

Specialist weapon, BRB pg 42

Unwieldy, BRB pg 43

Walkers don't care about unwieldy iirc, at least as far as initiative goes, double check the vehicles (walkers) section though.

For attacks you get 2 +1 for each additional weapon (walkers can have 6 weapons and get +5 attacks, characters only ever get one). Magma cutters don't count as they are special equipment. They auto hit when you hit (check codex for specifics).

So a maulerfiend gets 3 attacks (regardless of lasher / magma)

Will check the walker section.

It has a pair of fist. Does that give it +2? Because I know from the character section that regardless of how many weapons you have. You only get +1 for attack.

So you didn't read the USRs that you were quoted that answer the ruels clearly?

The close combat weapons rules make it clear how it works for getting additional attacks from weapons.

Except that the Walker rules (page 84) specifically overwrite the one on page 24. Wtnind has it correct.

Yes but if you read the walker rules, this isn't an issue.
Funnily 2 ccw is not 3.
