Question is this a legal build for a MASTER MOULDER Master moulder (hand & whip Light armour) Things catcher (confers killing blow) Warp musket Electro whip If this is legal then I presume he will get... (if in base contact) 2 attcks in CC with killing blow with the things catcher and 3D attacks at his strength 4 with the electro whip or if in the rear rank just the 3D A's from the EW or if not in CC he can shoot with the Warp musket |

Unfortunately the things catcher is a 2h weapon and cannot be used at the same time as the electro whip, and the warp musket is move OR fire weapon, so the molder loses one of his best assests using it: their speed. Though i guess he can stand and shoot with it. |

Just give him a great weapon and stick him in the front row, Not many people will think to direct attacks against him, yeah he goes last but at least hes hitting like a hammer |

Under the new rules (Great Weapons ALWAYS strike last) I'd go for an Electro-whip. 2+d3 S4 attacks is nothing to scoff at. I wouldn't use the Things Catcher, Killing Blow never impressed me as being something that's really worth that many points. And while I do like a warpmusket sometimes, I would never put it on a character as mobile as a Master Moulder should be. |

I realize it depends on the points that you have to spend also. But what if you want to spend as many points on him as possible. What I am working on is using the IoB set and gettin it up to it's maximum points using only the models in that set. That's why I asked about the three items. But it's also great to know what is the optimum build on a regular basis. |

The rules for master moulders are very complicated to me, so I my "advice" is nothing but an eduacated guess here: A naked master molder comes with 2 attacks, a whip and a handweapon. The whip, as described in the AB, is an additional handweapon. A naked mastermolder therefor has 2 attacks with his handweapon and one attack with his whip, as far as I understand the rules |

It counts as an additional hand weapon in base to base combat (so +1 Attacks, the rules dont specify 1 whip attack just that it is an add hand weapon) but if not in base (rear ranks) to base it can be used to make 1 attack. |
