Dumb question; Ork Nob, Power Klaw

[el_pablo65]

Ork Nob gets three base attacks, +1 for two weapons, +1 for a charge. When one of these weapons is a Power Klaw, how many of these attacks are with the Power Klaw?

Also, do all attacks become Initiative 1 because of the Klaw, or will that get split up?

Thanks for your help on stupid noobish question, but the rulebook was less than clear on this.

Point one: all of his attacks are made with the power klaw.

Point two: because a power klaw is a Specialist Weapon, he does not get a bonus attack for having two weapons.

The nob gets 4 attacks... all with the powerklaw.

There is no +1 for two weapons, since the power klaw is a specialist weapon and doesn't give you +1 for having 2 close combat weapons (or a pistol + close combat weapon)

[Nabterayl]

All of a model's Attacks are made with whatever Melee weapon that model is using that Assault phase, so all of the nob's Attacks are Initiative 1, S8 (or S9 on the charge), AP2.

If the Nob keeps another melee weapon, say a regular Choppa, couldn't he swing with that instead, on his base I?

Yes he could, he would however gain no benefits of the powerklaw.

Furthermore, if he had replaced his pistol with the power klaw he would still not gain the additional close combat attack for having two weapons, note: if he still had a pistol however he would get the +1A when not using the powerklaw.

That all makes complete sense. Thanks for the assistance.
