Hey guys,

I personally haven't found any rules that say it isn't possible, but can I take a Combat Shield with Dual Weapons (such as a pair of Lightning Claws) or a Two-Handed Weapon (such as an Eviscerator)?

Because I'm trying to figure out what I can give my Veteran Sargent in my Assault Squad and I'm not sure whether I can run a Dual Lightning Claws/Combat Shield Combo.

Cheers

Yes, nothing stops you from doing so. The fluff text even mentions exactly that, and the crunch is just "this is a 6+ inv save, that's it"

Combat Shield
A combat shield is a lighter version of the storm shield fitted to the wearer’s vambrace, leaving their hand free to wield another weapon whilst providing protection from incoming attacks.
