If the Asrai Spear is a type of Spear (Wood Elves book should specifically state what type it is, or else there might be the assumption that it is a Spear since that's in the name), then I'd look in the WHF main rulebook to see what the rules are concerning Spears and the Tow/Additional Hand Weapons rule. | |
| May 12, 2014 at 14:33 | comment | added | Iain Galloway | The Asrai Spear does not have the "Requires Two Hands" USR. Are you saying that gaining an extra attack from an "Additional Hand Weapon" requires that you are using a "Hand Weapon" in your main hand also? Would a model with an ordinary spear and a hand weapon not receive an additional attack? | |
| May 12, 2014 at 14:22 | comment | added | David C Ellis | Check the Wood Elves book for a detailed description of "Asrai Spear". This should tell you if it counts as a Hand Weapon. The "Two/Additional Hand Weapons" rule requires two or more Hand Weapons, so if the spear is a two-handed weapon or something else special it would not qualify. Frequently in WHF models that have the option of adding shields will be equipped with their main weapon and hand weapon so that you have the option to switch to the shields for better saves in melee and still have a hand weapon with which to attack. | |

| May 12, 2014 at 8:29 | comment | added | Iain Galloway | I just discovered the FAQ at Black Library. It sensibly adds the "Requires Two Hands" rule to the "Two/Additional Hand Weapons" entry on page 91. That answers my second question, but still leaves me confused about the first part. | |
