Well, he question in particular is, would you take dual bonesword (still only take up one slot), which is a power weapon where every wound caused makes the enemy roll on his LD with 3D6, if he doesnt pass, the model IDs (for those who didnt hear it yet);
Or would you take a bonesword (same as above, but LD with 2D6) and lashwhip (all enemy models in CC with the warrior have I 1)?

Now to hope the poll works... :\

Can't tell for sure, but atm the single bonesword with lash (if takes up one slot). All depends on the points and the other options.

Is the two pair of bone swords even an option for the warrior? I heard of the stormlord tyrant with 4 boneswords, but not a warrior.

Considering bone swords are already power weapons I think it might be overkill to take dual blades on a standard warrior. What IS interesting is that you would put a warrior squad with an Alpha Warrior. He's probably independent so for sure give him dual blades and have him target other independent characters for a good chance to gib them outright.

Since furious charge is an upgrade and warriors can take an alpha with bonus WS, melee warriors might seriously be nasty.

This is assuming warrior alphas can take two but supposedly they're HQs with a lot of options.

Yep, it is. Dont try arguig with me, Ive seen the Codex
And another yep, both of the options listed take up one slot. (the upper arm slot. Most cc weapon options are now in the top slot, most ranged options on the bottom).
Oh, and the double dual wielding (quadruple wielding???) tyrant has some additional rules, its a kind of special character. Normal Tyrants have a choice of either sword and whip(seeing as hes an MC, it only does the ID thing) or dual sword. Standard loadout is ST+sword+whip. Warriors have ST+Devs standard.

@ Tyr: Where have you seen the new codex? I've looked for black box codex in my area and zip.

The preview material for the US stores did not come with a codex as it had to go back to reprint. Most of the information is coming from EU as the codex had been previewed over there.

^^ What he said. Was just the unit background and armylist, though, and its been roughly 2 weeks since, so dont ask me for details

I voted for the lashwhip. I think it is fun to snare our food with tentacles, it makes the game more fun.

 

[Aradai]

Has anybody bought warriors from the new box or battleforce? I'm just curious if they have a new upgrade sprue with the new options like Warrior Alpha bits, bone swords, lash whips etc.

 

[nichodemus10]

I have to go with the lash as there are not enough 2 wound creatures that are not immune to ID to give up dropping someones initiative for. Also is it test on three dice or take the highest two of three dice? that makes a huge difference.
