So in my understanding things like scything talons add attacks compared to what they used to do, like rerolling 1's to hit or all missed hits for two sets. Apparently this is the reason trygon dropped an attack because it makes it back in the weapon profile. My question is what about swarmlord? He has two sets of close combat weapons, they are listed as "melee" so does he get plus 1 or 2 to his base attacks of 4? Sorry if it seems like a dumb question but with so many changes all at once it can be hard to understand.

A pair, or set counts as a single ccw. If he had two pairs, then he gets a single extra attack.

Greebo had spent an irritating two minutes in that box. Technically, a cat locked in a box may be alive or it may be dead. You never know until you look. In fact, the mere act of opening the box will determine the state of the cat, although in this case there were three determinate states the cat could be in: these being Alive, Dead, and Bloody Furious.

Well he has two pairs so that would make it so. Kinda funny that a pair of ccw weapons on monster models adds an attack, but having two pairs on a 4 armed mc still only gives you the one extra attack.

It's stated explicitly in the Codex that each pair counts as one weapon.

So that would make him 4 base, plus 2 sets = 6 attacks.

No. 4 base, 1 set counts as 1 CCW, second set counts as second CCW, 5 attacks.
Each *pair* is one weapon and you need 2 weapons to get the additional attack.

When they refer to a pair of weapons for the tyranids, they are talking about one weapon in the left hand and one weapon in the right. This counts as a single CCW for the purpose of adding attacks. So two sets of arms with melee weapons (4 in total) counts as two CCW for the purposes of adding attacks, which results in 1 extra attack.

Not to mention you can't get more than +1 attack for having multiple close combat weapons anyway.

I have a peanut allergy. It's really inconsiderate.
