Hi dakka, haven't posted in a while.

I recently made a chaos lord holding two power swords, one in each hand. So I was just curious how that would work attack wise. I plan on giving him the mark of khorne if that helps.

He gets an extra attack. Sadly, counts the same as having a power sword and ccw. Just call one a ccw and the other a power sword.

Having the model with 2 swords doesn't affect the game. What affects his number of attacks is the number of close combat weapons you buy him from the codex. If he has 2 CCWs (a pistol counts as 1 CCW) then he gets +1A

Would be funny against disarming strike:

"I disarm your power sword!"
"I use my other one."
"...You actually paid the points for that?"

to be more precise - a CCW is now a defined item (S: user, etc), what matters is you have two weapons with the melee type, that are single handed. Any weapon with the "specialist weapon" rule then requires you to have two of those ,or two other "normal" melee weapons, to benefit.

Problem with nomenclature changes - CCW used to be th term for any such weapon, now it is a specified "thing".
