This is probably a stupid question, but I cannot find any thing about using multiple weapons which have different special rules in the rule book. So if for example you have a brood of Nid warriors with rending claws and bone swards, how dose that work? Do all there attacks get rending and life drain, or do half get one and the other half the other, or do all the normal attacks have one and the extra attack for having two weapons gets the other?

Err I don't have the codex, but I'm just going to make a wild guess here and assume they have different weapon profiles. In which case you simple choose which to use, just like you would choose between a pistol and a special weapon.

Although you might get an extra attack just for having the other, depending on the weapon.

The rulebook states that you choose one weapon to use, and ignore the other (some people would even argue that, by RAW, this technically means you can never get +1 attack for two weapons - but they realise that just means that the rules are somewhat busted). So in the case of having both Rending Claws and Boneswords, you choose one, and all your attacks are counted as being made with that weapon. If you choose Bone Swords, it's AP3 and Lifedrain. If you choose Rending Claws then your attacks all have Rending, but no AP3 and no Lifedrain.

'More Than One Weapon' in the Weapons section of the main rulebook.
