Some Mordheim questions.

[Criti]

Hey all - quick Mordheim question...

Does arming a model with a pair of swords do anything besides +1 Attack? Like two chances to Parry, or a Parry re-roll? I can't seem to find anything that says it does something different - but I am using the Living Rulebook, and my brain tends to get shot when trying to read rules from a computer screen.

Also - if I arm a multi attack model (like the basic statline of a Vampire) with a Sword and an axe, how do I work that out? Do I say "Okay... this one attack is from the sword, the other two are from the axe"?

Any replies would be appreciated.

Edit: One last question... what IS a Sea Dragon Cloak? I know the rules for it, and the GC cost... but is it an Armour? Or can I combine it with Armour?

IIRC you get a single parry roll.

Again, IIRC you can allocate your attacks to either weapon, but a minimum of one attack must be made with either one..

The Sea Dragon Cloak is a cape made from the hide of a Sea Monster. In the Mordheim game, it may be combined with traditional armor for an improved armor save. Since it comes from the euipment section of the list, not the armor section, an argument could be made that you could give one to a Sorceress (although I wouldn't, since it isn't explicit).

With 2 swords, you can attempt to parry two different attacks from 2 different sources (say if you had 2 models attacking you), which is still useful - at least that's how we've been playing.

"Okay... this one attack is from the sword, the other two are from the axe"?

Pretty much, yeah. Allocate which dice are being used for what weapon and roll, but as mentioned, you need to allocate at least one attack per weapon.

It is armour but can be combined with shields and bucklers.

Oh - now I'm confused. Got one vote for "Can be combined with traditional armour" and one for "is a type of traditional armour"...

Pretty much, yeah. Allocate which dice are being used for what weapon and roll, but as mentioned, you need to allocate at least one attack per weapon.

If your model has n attacks, you get n attacks with your primary weapon and one with secondary (in the off hand).

Because there is not a clear position about it. Druchii warband is unofficial. In Druchii rules we are preparing here. We have adopted an approach that it is armour (i.e. sorceress can not have it) but it can be combined with other armour and shield.

[Angelofdarkness]

i don't think that this is true true you can allocate whatever atytacks to whatever weapons your character has

[Loflar]

A warrior armed with two-one handed weapons may make 1 extra attack with the additional weapon.

So you may choose which weapon is additional, make one attack with this one, and rest (i.e. your A rating) with the other one.
