Question,

what is the advantage of dualing lightning claws, if a pistol grants an extra attack?

Does the specialist weapon special rule stack?

As in, a model with lightning claws, gets
Base attacks(N)
+ dual wielding (+1)
+ Specialist (+1)x2 (+2)
N+3 attacks?

specialists weapons do not gain an extra attack from a pistol.


You need a second specialist weapon.

In 6th edition you would only get the bonus attack from a specialist weapon when used with another specialist weapon. I don't have the new rules, so I'm unsure if this has changed.

Plus dual lightning claws just look cool.

Oh snap, ok, that's a lot more of an advantage.


Thanks!

Someone here posted dont run 2x lc. Go 1 lc and 1 pf. You do get +1 for2x special and choose which one is being used.

That person was wrong. Lightning Claws are specialist weapons, pistols are not. You do not get en extra attack for having 2 CCW if one of them is a specialist weapon and the other is not. You only get it if they both are, thus twin lightning claws.

"Power fist" , not pistol.

Yes. I meant power fist and lightning claw.

Nice tip!
