Topic: Yes or No- Is an Avatar's Diresword just a big Power Weapon?

I think any extra attacks he gets are already included in his stat line.

Does the Avatar get an extra attack because he has a sword or dosen't The Whailing Doom allow you to recive an extra attack for the sword?

You must have 2 close combat weapons in order to get an attack bonus.

yup red two is right

I'm pretty sure that you get the extra attack because in the rule book it says that all chainswords, swords, axes, etc. get an additional attack in base to base contact.

Yeah, when you have TWO close combat weapons. The avatar just has one.

Unless you could count the big drippy hand  
Surly he could like jam it into his opponents face blinding them with all that blood

But would that kind of thing affect a blood-drinker Blood Angel? He might just like it.

However, I DO think that an Avatar's big bloody hand should count as a close combat weapon... I mean, he counts as a deamon, AND a monstrous creature! Its not like I don't think he's good enough as is, its just that I like the idea of my Avatar crushing a SMurf head for fluff purposes... and I would like the extra attack.

What if he gets an extra attack and they just decided to make it simple and include it in the profile? If it said that he had "weapons: The Wailing Doom, bloody hand", then a lot of people would be asking questions about that bloody hand as well.
