Counting attacks

So both Tacticals and Assaults have 2 attacks at melee?
Thanks a lot for clearing that up, guys! It's amazing how long I was wrong about this.
It is indeed :laugh:
Tactical Marines have 1 attack base, but only have a Bolter and a Pistol, they only have 1 attack in CC normally.
Assault Marines have a Bolt Pistol AND a CCW, so they have 2 attacks.

Please note: In certain cases where you have an assault weapon and a bolt pistol, for example, a grey hunter equiped with a Melta gun. you do not gain the +1 attack on the charge if you fire your Melta gun the same turn.
Yeah, that's completely wrong.
If there are no special rules, then the weapon you fire in the Shooting phase (unless it's a Rapid Fire or Heavy weapon) means nothing for the Assault.
As long as you have 2CC weapons, you get a bonus attack (unless you have multiple different special weapons, but that very rarely happens).
