Eldrad´s staff?

[Lost Vyper]

An old one, i know, but i´m still not 100% sure, how many attacks does Eldrad have, when using his staff? 1? 2?

Facts people, facts? :confused:

Let me just read my codex...

[Lost Vyper]

Well hardy-f´n-har-har, problem is, is the staff a two-handed weapon? Do you get the pistol bonus? Such-a-thangs i am wondering...

[da_WaaaghMaster]

Is his staff listed as a CC weapon? Don't have the codex at hand.

[Lost Vyper]

@ work, so neither do i, damn it, cant really recall...

It's a close combat weapon, and he also has a pistol IIRC.
So yes, he has two attacks base.

[Lost Vyper]

Thank you

[Learn2Eel]

No worries :) I know a few Eldar players that always forget that their Farseers and Warlocks actually have two attacks base due to wielding a pair of close combat weapons. It's not as bad as forgetting all Chaos Space Marines have an extra attack than is listed in their profile (except Thousand Sons) lol.

Why do you need to know this at work? Must be a hell of a job...

Yeah, unlike a Singing Spear, that staff is not a 2 handed weapon, so he's +1 attack with the pistol.

Interesting. I always assumed that because it is a staff it was 2 handed. But indeed nothing in the Codex states 2-handed. And I didn't find any part in the rulebook (6th obviously) that stated 'staffs' are 2 handed.
