Hi there,

may be someone can please clarify the following for my buddy and me:

1. Dark Angels Relic Terminators can choose between 1 Lightning Claw or a pair of 2 Lightning Claws. Is it correct that 1 Lightning Claw gives you 1 extra attack, whereas 2 Lightning Claws give you a total of 2 extra attacks? Because it says: "Each time the bearer fights, it makes 1 additional attack with this weapon. Each time an attack is made with this weapon, you can re-roll the wound roll." Does each Claw count as a separate weapon with this rule and therefor giving 2 additional attacks? Or does that rule not care about the amount of claws and giving 1 additional attack not caring about how many you carry (although it wouldn`t make sense why to ever pick 2 claws for the Relic Terminators then)?

2. Compared to the rules of the Nemesis Falchions from the Grey Knights those sound more specific: "Each time the bearer fights, if it is equipped with one or more Nemesis flachions, it makes 1 additional attack using this profile". Here it does not seem to matter how many Falchions you carry. A Brotherhood Ancient carrying 1 Falchion gets the same additional 1 attack as a Grey Knight wielding 2 Falchions. Hard to understand, but clearly ruled.

Thank you! ^^

Yes, with two claws you get two additional attacks. You have two separate claws, and each one gets one additional attack.

Yes, in this case its only one additional attack, no matter how many falchions the bearer has.

As above. 2 for 2 lc as they do not have the "one or more" qualifier.
