Specialist weapon question

[housecawdor]

Read the specialist weapon usr. Does it mean that if you have a lightning claw and thunder hammer, you can gain the 2 weapons additional attack? Can you use both special weapons abilities at the same time?
I'm almost sure the answer to both questions is no, but could someone state areference point in the rulebook or something? Thankyou!

Yes you get the extra attack, but you can only use one weapon at a time.

So,
Yes.
No.

Errr, actually the correct answers are no and no.

With special weapons you need a matching pair to get the bonus of an extra attack.

All attacks have to be with the same weapon each time you attack, but you would get to choose which one, so would only benefit from that weapon's special rules.

Actually, it is Yes and No:

Page 42, BGB:
"Specialist Weapon: A model fighting with this weapon does not receive +1 Attack for fighting with two weapons unless both weapons have the Specialist Weapon rule."

Quite clear cut.
