Default Having a Khornate kind of problem...

Ok so I play this guy a lot and uses a lot of Khorne berserkers. He uses a squad of...12 I think and there are some CCWs I have questions about. One, are the majority of axes that the Berserkers have chainaxes or "axes of khorne"? Two, is there a limit to how many axes of khorne you can have in a squad?

Khornate Chainaxes are available to every berzerker for [X] point (they treat all armor in CC as 4+ unless it's normally worse). Axes of Khorne are Gifts of Khorne, and are only available to aspiring champions. They work like a regular power weapon, but grant extra attacks on 6's to hit.

Normally, you can only have one aspiring champion (and therefore one AoK) in each squad, but if he's using them as Chosen, he can have as many champions in the squad as he wants.

(Just a reminder, please don't give out the cost of individual wargear. Thanks! -Mal)

Heya,

The "Khornate Chainaxe" is the only weapon that is available to all members of the Berserker squads. This weapon is a "heavy" weapon, ie: it lowers the maximum save to never be higher than a 4+. This would be the majority axe that Berserkers use, but they are a purchased upgrade. Remember that he must buy them and they must be listed in his list. Or they do not have them.

The "Axe of Khorne" is an armoury weapon. That means, it's only available to characters with access to the armory. That means, only the aspiring champion would have access to the Axe of Khorne. The axe of khorne is the weapon that allows more swings, for every 6 he rolls. Otherwise, it's just a normal power weapon. They are not limited, except for the fact that only models with access to the armory can have it--thus only per normal berserker squad, and only on the champion at that. It's abilities are not conferred to other weapons, so if he has a power fist as well, the fist does not get extra swings if he gets a 6 mind you.

I hope that makes it clear for you

Feel free to throw out more questions if you have them.

Cheers!

(Edit: Ninja'd by Malphax. His answer is correct.)

THANK YOU...my opponent claimed that all of his axes were axes of khorne...so he got like at least 3+ extra attacks in CC (not that it mattered much vs 12 fire warriors lol).

MalVeuX couldn't have said it better, but your friend implying that all his axes were axes of khorne is horrid, even though is essence they are axes of khorne. :P

As you said though, 12 Fire Warriors is like cutting butter for the Khornate warriors.
