More than One Combat Weapon
URL Copied!

Many models carry two or more combat weapons, giving them a choice of which to use upon entering the fray:

  • If a unit is equipped with two or more combat weapons, you must choose which it will use when its combat is chosen during Step 1.1 of the Choose & Fight Combat sub-phase.

  • The entire unit, including command, must use the same weapon (with the possible exception of units with the Motley Crew special rule). Characters can always choose separately – they are not obliged to use the same weapon as a unit they have joined.

  • If a unit champion has the option to be equipped differently to the rest of their unit, they can choose which weapon they will use separately.

  • Unless the weapon itself states otherwise (as do lances, for example), a unit cannot change weapons between rounds of combat if it remains locked in place and engaged in combat. The weapon chosen for the first round of a combat (i.e., the first round fought following a charge) must be used for the duration of the combat.
