Hey all.

Yeah, question in the title. I bought a Knight Warden kit last week and I've absolutely adored the model and want to buy another next month to flesh out a Knight army. I've currently got the obscenely good (I've played four matches with it and its made its points over in every match) Knight Crusader with a rapid-fire battle cannon and Avenger Gatling cannon, its been a blast to use.
I want a close-combat dedicated platform to back it up and I really like the look of the Reaper on the Knight and would like to use one from the new set and the left over from the old set to have two, but I'm not sure if this is legal.
I'm not overly fussed about magnetising, I want three dedicated to their respective weapons so I'm fleshing them out with different transfers/decals/battle damage etc.

I can't see anywhere in the Index that says you can't, but the Knight Gallant (the dedicated CCW variant) does state that it comes with a Reaper and a Thunderstrike which would suggest to me you can't.

If not, I'll deal with and go with the Thunderstrike and Reaper, the Thunderstrike seems statistically better as its going to wound everything on 2s (I think, I don't know of anything above T8 off the top of my head), but the Reaper looks so damn cool.

Similarly, when it comes to my last one which is going to be another Crusader, I don't know whether I can fit it out with two rapid-fire battle cannons. You know, for fun?

EDIT: Oh, any one have any particular preference to the Stormspear, Ironstorm or Icarus? Personally I've used the Stormspear so far, but they're easy to just drop on top so its easily interchangeable.

To me it looks like there is no option to swap the CCWs at all on a Gallant. You can only take a Carapace Weapon or replace the heavy stubber.

Yeah, from what I can read (there isn't much to go off) it doesn't look like I can. I suppose in open play it doesn't matter but for now, I guess a Reaper and a Thunderstrike are the best of both worlds anyway. To be honest, there was no benefit whatsoever to having two, both at least give you the option of slapping around everything that comes near.
Thanks!

The Crusader cannot have two of the same weapon either, which is a shame, as it would look best that way. The chaos knight can freely mix and match weapons, and is just one entry, instead of the option being needlessly spread over several datasheets. I wish they'd just combine the Imperial Knights into one datasheet and allow us freely to choose the weapons.

Unfortunately not. But two reaper chainswords wouldn't do anything anyway, you only get 4 attacks total.
