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?

you have your attack plus an extra attack for an EXTRA 1 HANDED WEAPON and and extra attack if you initiated the assualt THAT TURN

Secondly I attacked his command squad with my dire avengers and blade storm, they had an exarch with dual shurricats and it was a squad of ten. I calculated I get 32 attacks in the shooting phase is this right? because with some lucky rolls it completely destroyed his command squad and I think he just thought it was impossible to do that in shooting phase.

Ok here is how bladestorm works: add 1 to each of your shooters shots.

so in a 10 man squad you get

9*2=18 plus 4 = 22 plus 10 = 32 SHOTS

Thirdly my farseer was part of a unit of howling banshees who were locked in assault and we weren't sure if he could use his physcic powers at the start of my turn, specifcally doom and guide.

You can use them in CC

Now if your units disembark off a transport that has already moved they cannont move in the move phase, but if they are within range of assault can they? Also if the transport has moved can they shoot when they disembark? The wordings a little sketchy on that one. Any help is much appreciated on these rules questions.

ok, here is your awnser:
1. Unless the tank has an assualt ramp, or is open topped the unit CAN NOT MOVE AT ALL when they disembark. this includes assualting

they can all shoot after disembarking.

Hope this helps you.
