I was playing a game recently against a friend who was using blood angels and he had a unit of death guard that was obilterating my tyranids. When I checked his army list, I saw that some of them had 2 thunder hammers. Is it allowed for one model to have two thunder hammers?

Depends on the wording in the army list, but it's probably worded like other units can take lightning claws and pairs of lightning claws are (were?) common. It's pretty expensive though to ahve 2 hammers

Yes he can, but it's a lot of points. He could actually save 5pts/model and have the same effect if he went TH & Powerfist.

Death Company can exchange their pistol for one and chainsword for another at a pretty hefty cost. They have FNP and stuff but they're still just one-wound models in power armor. For extra cost give them all jump packs too. :-)

Can death company get lightning claws? I've never seen any using some so I guess no, but it'd make a nasty pairing with the hammer if they could.

Unfortunately they cannot take lightning claws but that would be very epic and deadly if they could.

Not much need for LC as you can put a Chappy with them or a Reclusiarch and get re-roll to hit and re-roll to wound with the entire DC on the turn they charge. You can also throw Lemartes in the mix as he is an upgrade for the DC that is already a Chappy, however he comes with a JP therefore limiting your transport selection.

Thanks everyone. Yes it was quite a lot of points and he now won't stop saying "stop....hammertime" which I think is the main reason he did it.

There's other reasons?
