Having a look at the eldar autarch section and it says that the autarch is allowed to take a fusion gun. But it doesnt say it replaces the pistol so I'm wondering does the autarch still get the extra CC attack from having the pistol and sword even though he has a fusion gun aswell?

Yeah he does also the laser lance if he's on a jetbike...

If he still has the pistol and sword, then yes, he gets the extra attack.

Actually,from what I've read/interpreted, he does not get an extra attack for the laser lance & shuriken pistol. I believe you never get the bonus for two close combat weapons while on a bike.

At least, every article they had on the GW site or WD when the new 'dex came out shows a jetbike autarch w/lance and mandiblasters having a max of 5 attacks on the charge.

In 5th ed there is no rule preventing you from benefiting from the extra attack while on a bike. That used to be true. Those articles are probably a relic of 4th ed.

So, yes, an Autarch with a lance and mandiblasters would have 6 attacks on the charge.

Yes, Autarchs on bikes are scary! I have always liked the idea of a Autarch with lance and a Reaper Launcher.
A fun anti-heavy infantry BAMF.

However, I like the fusion blaster just as much.
