Hey guys, pretty new to Age of Sigmar, but getting into it pretty heavily and want to make sure our local group is playing right.

If a unit has multiple different weapons, do they get to attack with each of these weapons? Or is one chosen?

For example Blood Reavers are armed with both Meatripper axes and Reaver blades. Do they get to attack with both in the same turn, or is one chosen over the other?

Further example the Orruk Megaboss has a Boss Choppa and a Rip-Tooth Fist.

And one final one, a Lord Celestant on his Dracoth, The Dracoth is listed on weapons, so must the player choose between attacking with the Dracoth or say a lightning hammer

Thanks guys!

A model attacks with all weapons it's equipped with.
This doesn't mean that it attacks with all weapons listed in its profile, though, because you're bound by the restrictions listed on the warscroll.

Example Bloodreaver:

Some units of Bloodreavers fight with Reaver
Blades, while others prefer to use Meatripper Axes.

So the whole unit has to choose with what weapon it's equipped with and can attack only with the equipped weapons.


Example Orruk Megaboss:

They enter battle armed with a huge Boss
Choppa in one hand, while their other
hand is sheathed in a Rip-tooth Fist made
of heavy iron.

Yep, he has both weapons and can attack with both.


Edit: mounts like the Dracoth are always in addition to any other weapons and the weapon profiles list the mount's name before the attack name, e.g. Dracoth’s Claws and Fangs

With the Bloodreavers though, the Starter Set has them armed with both a blade and an axe, would they be equipped with both? Or would they still have to choose?

Nevermind, edit, I see what you mean under their warscroll it says-
