Page 84 BRB: If a WaIker is armed with two or more Melee weapons, it gains +1 bonus Attack for each additional weapon after the first.

Page 122 SM codex: Seismic Hammer: Specialist Weapon

Page 65 BRB: Specialist weapon: A model fighting with this weapon does not receive +1 Attack for fighting with two weapons unless both weapons have the Specialist weapon rule.

You make da Call.

**Bausk**

Both the hammer and the fist are specialist weapons so yes you get the bonus attack.

**B0B MaRlEy**

There's no call to make. I got surprised by it too, but any combination of close combat weapons you can give an Ironclad consists of 2 specialists weapon. In other words you'll get the bonus attack (the powerfist it has base is a specialist weapon)

**Sir Arun**

Page 60 under DCCW it only says melee...? So are we supposed to ignore this entry and instead read the power fist entry?

**B0B MaRlEy**

The dreadnought doesn't have a DCCW. It has a powerfist and something else. You should glance at the Unwieldy specialt rule,either way you're better off using the hammer's profile.

**Sir Arun**

Fair enough. I recon the dccw is used for ork killa kans?

**B0B MaRlEy**

It is to be used for all older than V6 codex. I think the Blood Angels/space wolves dreadnoughts and orks walkers are the few ones left.

**Bausk**

Unwieldy has no effect on walkers.

You shoudl read the Unwieldy rule, and note what units it explicitly does not affect

I know , hence why I told the OP to "glance at the unwieldy special rule". The hammer doesn't have unwieldy anyway, but in case it gets destroyed it's good to know you still strike at normal init.
