I have a quick question. I've been playing thunderwolf cavalry where they only have rending if they use their close combat weapons, but not if they take power weapons. I jsut looked back at the rules again and it says that they have the special rule "Rending (close combat only)". So does anyone know if there is any reason why a thunderwolf with a powersword or something wouldn't be able to use rending?

IIRC, rending is only f not using the spec. weapons.

This.Any dude with a special weapon uses the weapon profile ( pf or whatever you armed him with ).

Q: Does a Thunderwolf Cavalry model with a special close combat
weapon (eg a thunder hammer) still have rending attacks? (p34)
A: No. The description of the Thunderwolf mount on page 62
says that it ‘… has the Rending specialrule in close combat
with any attack that does not use a special close combat
weapon’. This applies to Thunderwolf Cavalry as well (and
Canis Wolfborn, forthat matter)

Okay thanks. I knew I had read that somewhere.
