A question about tau crisis suits: In squads of crisis suits, can every model carry two melta weapons on one crisis suit? My son played a tournament this past weekend and the dude rolled out four crisis squads (12 models + 1 HQ) all carrying double melta guns. I told him he should of called a codex check, but he did not do it. I am not questioning the man's honor, but that is a lot of heavy fire power. He destroyed everything on the table in the first round of firing. If you have an answer for me, i would appreciate it. All I can do now is wait patiently for the SAIM HANN to arrive.

yes they can, they can also double plasmagun (but at S6, bonus no gets hot) or almost any other weapon they have

Also, ask a mod to send this to 40k discussion: it definitely doesn't fit under general.

He is allowed to take 2 fusion blasters per suits.... but I find it highly unlikely that he rocked the tournament with that build.

The guns have 18 inch range at BS3 (2 shots per suit). It would be lulz to see that farsight enclave against a greentide

Crisis suits could carry 3 fusion blasters if they wanted... Admittedly they couldn't fire all of them

The previous Tau codex specifically prevented crisis suits from carrying multiples of the same weapon. The new version of the codex has removed that restriction.

Yep Legal ..but that kinda build will get you dead fast as it does not put out enough fire power
