First off is a rule on close combat weapons, he believes that if a unit has a close combat weapon it gets an extra attack on top of its base attack stats so hypothetically speaking if a marine has A1 and is equiped with a chainsword and he is in assault he gets 2 attacks, if he charges he gets 3 attacks and if he also has a pistol he would get 3 attacks and if he charged he'd get 4 attacks. That seems a little to much to and a bit obscene clarification? |
he's got it a bit wrong! you need
both the bolt pistol
and the close combat weapon to gain the extra +1A for having 2 single-handed weapons...
so a space marine with a bolter + bolt pistol still only gets 1A and +1A when he assaults/charges into combat.

your exarch has 2 catapults which fire as a single assault 4 avenger catapult! so yep, 32 shots when you bladestorm! sure it's pretty damn nasty, but your opponent has to realise that your avengers become sitting ducks next turn as they reload!

I think we had a couple more but I can't remember them at the top of my head hmmmm maybe he'll post the other ones, anyhow thanks for readin and I look forward to some awsome replies (just tell him I'm always right).

as long as the psychic power is not a shooting power or else requires lines of sight, then you can use it even if locked in an assault. so for example, you can 'fortune' yourself in combat, but you can't 'mind war' that heavy weapon trooper with lascannon standing nearby!
each power's description will state wether or not it counts as a shooting power and/or if it may be used in an assault... unless it says something like, "may not be used if the farseer is locked/engaged in an assault" you're laughing!
cheers!
