So I play as Possessed in Mordheim, and I was wondering: If I equiped two sheilds and a Scorpion tail on a mutant, would he be able to sheild bash someone, counting it as an unarmored attack?

I know he is dead ard with 2 sheilds and Light Armor, I just want to know if he is slightly more offensive than I thought at first.

Thanks in advance.

I've never feared Death or Dying. I've only feared never Trying.

I'd allow it, sounds awesome.

Also littlenibbler Orks aren't about armour saves.
Orks are about having too many models on the table, and wasting the other guy's time with your movement phase.
Orks are about having the toughest units on the table.
Orks are about not caring about how many bodies are left in a long winding trail until the squad is down to less than a third its starting strength.
Orks are about rolling more dice then you can count without the aid of a calculator or a pen and paper.
Orks are about having totally fething insane characters tearing gak down like Doc Grotsnik, Ghazghkull or Snikrot.
Orks are about being too fething awesome to die...
Lets settle this in the arena http://pantsformer.mybrute.com

Regardless, it is not in the rules, nor do they allow it.

Nowhere dot he rules allow a model to be equipped with more than one type of armour or more than one shield simulatanteously.

This is not up for arguement as it is already quite clear.

If your local group allows it, great! However, as far as a forum discussion, its not valid.

How so?

I would believe cheating to be spoiling a game everyone plays to enjoy... instead you find my 'lawyering' to be spoiling the fun?

Odd.

Honestly, I forgot I posted this here, sorry about that.

But where in the rules does it say you can only equip one sheild? It uses up one hand, he's got a spare.

Yeah, it is. He kinda just stops whatever he runs into long enough for my 2 Greatweapon Mutant (4 arms) to run into the combat.

I wouldn't say equipping a miniature with two shields in a very thematic game to be cheating. I'd classify cheating to be cheating if it was abused. But, considering he seems to have just made a great gribbley critter to scare friends, no in my opinion, that would not be cheating.

To each in his own I suppose.
