Legal Space Marine Chaplain?

[jrb]

I regularly play against space marines. Last game I was shocked when I came up against a chaplain who had a jump pack. His attack profile seemed rediculous! Is this right?

The chaplain had:
lightning claw & crozius arcanum, terminator honours.

This gave the model an attack profile of 5!!!
6 on the charge with re-roll to hit, and re-roll to wound!!!

Well a normal chaplain may take any weapons from the armory so yes its leagal. I run him with a jump pack and he gets 5 dice on assualt with reroll hits

Actualy the issue is NOT the attacks. A space marine character can easily get 6 attacks on a charge. 3 base, 1 with terminator honors, 1 for weapon in each hand, 1 for charge. However, lightning claws ONLY give the bonus for weapon in each hand when used in a pair. A chaplain cannot get that bonus while using a lightning claw and his crosius arcanuum. it says so specifically under lightning claws. So he made a mistake, he does however still get the re-roll failed wounds with one lightning claw, and his re-roll of misses the first round he charges.
Jump pack is also of course legal.

Think about a librarian with lightning claws. 6 attacks, re-roll all misses, all failed wounds and all failed armor saves with his psykic ability.

Lowly guant is correct... you need TWO lightning claws to get the bonus attack... you'll be amazed when you meet the Crozius, Powerfist, Storm bolter, jump pack chaplain....in the marine codex, basic equipment is only replaced when it says "replaces" IC's just says, "can take equipment from the armoury."

Actually, I think my favourite is the bike... all of a sudden my Chappy or Libby can move 24" on my turn and get an invulnerable save from shooting... combine that with artificer armour....

Yes he can.

He is using two lightning claws, he just isn't using the crozius for that attack. He wasn't benefiting from it anyway, so it doesn't change anything. There is no inherrent limit to the number of weapons you can have/carry.
