looking over the book i noticed that the gutter runners can take weeping blades on their champions, does this mean i can have upoto 6 in my army? 4 on champions for gutterrunners, 1 on my warlord and one on snitch. brass orbs are the same.

Goes the same with the warlocks Weapon. Can you have more in the army. Since they in their army entries?

Its one of those things that have to be errata'ed

Until a FAQ comes out, I would say no. Weeping Blade is in the Magic Weapon list, not the scavenge pile. An option does not allow duplication. However, technically...Snikch has a magic item "Whirl of Weeping Blades" which behaves as the Weeping Blade item. I would say that you can have 1 Smoke Bomb, 1 Weeping Blade, Snikch's Whirl of Weeping Blades, and 1 Brass Orb (not sure why you included this in your post but you may only have 1.)

They are taken as upgrades for a unit, not from the magic item list so yes, you can. The upgrade entry doesn't say "one champion per army" and neither does it say anywhere that you can only take the upgrade once per army. It'd be a little superfluous to state that a Warlock can take a Warlock-Augmented Weapon in his upgrade list if he can already take it from the magic item list.

Basically upgrades in the army list section are totally seperate to those from the magic item list.

Tenoshii brings up a valid argument. However, expect some opponent feedback when you try to buy one from the magic list, as well. As I said, a FAQ is needed. I would have no problem with Tenoshii's logical explanation of why yaoie's idea would work, though.

But...why would you want to sink that many points into these items? Are you planning on fighting ogres?

Bare in mind that all of these items (Warlock Weapon, Weeping Blade and Death Globe) would all be fairly common by magic item standards. Back in 5th all Assassins were armed with Weeping Blades, Warlocks are very likely to augment their own weapons and they're pretty much an analogue to the Warp-Blades of last edition and Death Globes are just bigger poisoned wind globes.

None of them are exactly game breaking either, I really don't see your opponent complaining about using 45 points to make your Warlock do the same damage as a Stormvermin champion :P

WE with WAW would still be WS 3:P more like clanrat champion but S4 and 2W.
death globes have been tuned down to 1 use only, maybe that meas you can have more per army, otherwise that wouldn't make snese, same risks involved.
weeping blades have been nerfed aswell to armor piercieng instead of +1S for the same reason i would guess
It would be ugly to watch people poking sticks at a caged rat. It is uglier still to watch rats poking sticks at a caged person.
