Hello all, I'm not 100% up to date on the rules as I haven't played in some time.

I'm making some Ork nobs and I'm a little confused about what weapons 1 model is allowed to take, are there still rules about the amount of two handed weapons per model? For example - can an Ork Nob take a Big chopper and a kustom shoota? Or a kustom shoota in addition to a Powerclaw?

Thanks for any help.

Rules for what weapons a model may take will be either in the unit's army list entry or in the appropriate wargear/items list.

Generally they specify that a model may replace x with y so it's a matter of replacing certain weapons (generally resulting in as many weapons allowed as they ordinarily come with, though replaced with something else) although sometimes it's phrased that a model may simply take a weapon, in which case it is additional to other weapons.

But yes, there's no general, standard or set limit to the number of weapons a model can take beyond its specific options.

So to answer your question, simply follow what the army list entry says about what options a Nob can take, and follow those. If it refers you to the ranged or melee weapons list then follow the rules there

The old 2 weapon limit is long gone.

Number of hands required for weapons only matters in the assault phase, and then only dictates whether you get a bonus attack for THAT weapon(sorry about the caps for emphasis, on a phone with no brackets key)

Both the examples you gave are legal loadouts

Thanks for the help guys, appreciated.

Rather than making many threads I have renamed this one.

I'm terrible at the rules, I haven't played for many years, so building an army with a very hazy grasp of the rules isn't the best idea.

Question 2, can a character on a Biker join none biker units?

Cheers.

The only limits for an IC joining a unit are MCs, Vehicles, and Infiltrators.

Thankyou Charistoph for clearing that up for me!
