I know you can use your sec. attack ONLY in CC with penalty of 4.
But whenever i kill the foe before I use it may I shoot the closet enemy using RC? Are there any further penalties?
May I use sec. attack to fire RC or it is exclusivelly used for CC and the case mentioned above is the exception?
-
don't think so...I think that secondary attack is used exclusively in CC for models that are armed with 2 CC weapons, like Mishima Bushido Samurai...

The ruling is, if the primary attack kills a model in CC, it may use its other weapon in RC
Example: A mirror man has both a sword and a MP, If he kills his opponent in CC, he may then fire the pistol in RC in the same action. HOWEVER: if he fails to kill the model with the 1st swing, he MUST use his pistol on his CC target, and cannot target another model.

I understand this..
But what about when killing my oponent with a first swing and I have 1 the sec. attack remaining.
May I use it for another attack action? I know this is played on official Polish championships that are organized in cooperation with EE.
However their rules are sometime quite baffling..
Cases
1) There is another model in base contact - may I attack him with sec. weapon?
2) There is no other oponent in base contact, however there is a new enemy within 3 inches - may I charge him whith the sec. attack?
3) There is no other oponent in base contact, however there is a new enemy within 3 inches - may I shoot him with my MP? If so are there any further penalties?
-
1. yes
2. no
3. yes, only the secondary attack penalties and any RC modifiers the weapon may have.

It is in the book and has been FAQ'd

Does that mean I can shoot twice with my mirrormen in 1 action? The 2nd shot will have a -4 RC .
thanks

The first attack must be in CC. If you kill all the models you are in CC with then you may make an RC attack at -4, provided that you used the Sword for their first attack. Otherwise, if still in base to base contact, then you still make CC attacks.

And the moral of the story is use the CC only weapons as the primary attack if you only have one model in base to base.
-
Generally speaking, it's not a bad idea to use the CC weapons first as they tend to be the more agressively suited weapon for CC. Do remember, if you only have one weapon then you may use it twice.

Short question to help me up:
What restrictions do apply for the second attack?
What if the model has only the one weapon? second attack withe the same one? against a multi-wound opponent e.g.
What if more than one secondary weapon. The Bauhaus Johann Emigholz carries a MP105 and a dueling saber besides his Thermite Lance. Whgich is the priority? Charge withe the Lance--> natural attack of his mount--> and then? Saber again or MP105 ?
If the saber: Charge bonus or not ?
-
For Secondary attack
If you have two weapons you must use first one, then the other. Usually the CC based one then pistol (if so equipped)
If only one weapon then you may attack twice with it.
First the Lance. as it's only useful on a charge, then whichever weapon you prefer. Usually the saber. but it's really up to you.
Charge bonus only applies to the first attack (and the dino's first attack)(no the dino doesn't get secondary attack confered to it, you might just spend more than one action in CC with a target)

OK, just as I thought!
Sounds good and another opinion in the same direction is good.

But what about Crucifiers??
They have 4 hands. Whenever i make primary CC attack with their weapon i may use the secondary, but there are two possible weapons: sword and/or MP - may i just pick one of them and perform the secondary attack?
(in case of secondary CC attack it is always better to use the sword)
..am i right...?
-
in the case of the Crucifiers, given their additional armaments, they may use the same weapon twice.
