G'day

I was just wondering if a character who has a two handed weapon, say a combi-melta, can he also get an extra attack with an additional close combat weapon?

The rules seem pretty clear that you can't but I could swear I remember someone here saying you could at some point, perhaps it something to do with a character in terminator armor and a storm bolter/power weapon.

Cheers

you're thinking true grit. Some one that plays a non eldar armoy can probably point you to a codex (I'm thinking demon hunters) and a page ref.

Outside of that, no, two handed weapons prevent the bonus of 2 CCW's.

Dark Eldar have a way to get a bonus even when using a two-handed weapon. That is: via the Tormentor Helm, which counts as a pistol. Incubi are armed in this manner.

Exactly correct. A single model may have (1) 2-handed weapon and (1) 1-handed weapon OR (2) 1-handed weapons. Only if the model is carrying (2) 1-handed weapons can they get the attack bonus for having 2 CC weapons unless they specifically have a rule allowing it.
