Title of the thread says it all.

Defiler with 2 power fists,
Base attacks of 3
Becomes 4 due to having 2 CCW (As walkers gain +1 attack for every CCW after the first)
Now, do they gain an additional attack because Power Fists are a specialist weapon, which when paired with another specialist weapon, grant +1 attack?

Having 2 specialist weapons doesn't confer an extra attack, it merely allows you to use the normal bonus of having 2 CCWs.

Normally pairing a specialist and non-specialist weapon means you don't get the extra attack from having 2 weapons.

Oh ic

2 Specialist weapons mearly allows you to actually benefit from gaining the extra attack that per say, having a bolt pistol + ccw would. Mutually exclusive, they don't stack.

But wait lol

This is actually confusing me more than it is answering the question.

Do walkers benefit from this?

Sure, the specialist weapons rule allows you to gain from the 2CCW or what have you, but I cannot see where it would prohibit a walker from gaining said extra CC attack.

It looks like there is no exclusion to Specialist Weapon for Walkers. So, if you want the bonus(es) from >1 Melee weapon, a single Specialist Weapon would not count. If you have three Specialist weapons, you would gain +2A though, assuming they are all Melee.

Goliath - walkers gain an addiitional attack for each additional close combat weapon they have, of any type. This is a different bonus to the usual bonus for 2 CCW, because you can gain more than one attack from it.

They follow the same rules for gaining attacks as other models, so yes two specialist weapons means +1 attack.

Not quite.

Walkers have different rules. See the section for Walkers and Assaults on page 84. 3rd para, I believe.

See above. Walkers use different rules than other models for determining the number of attacks from extra CCW.

Ok so it's just +1 attack for each aditional CCW after the first.

No junk having to worry about the specialist weapons profile

Thanks all!
