How many attacks does the Ironclad get and how are they resolved?

Do you get 2 attacks plus one for dual weapons whether its the seismic or chainfist?

Do all the attacks counts as the DCCW or the other weapon?

Right well the seismic hammer counts as an extra close combat weapon and is resolved as a dreadnought close combat weapon, (double strength etc) so it will gain an additional attack, which is included in its profile (see page 137 and note the ironclad has 3 attacks in brackets.) The Chainfist is for all intensive purpose a dreadnaught close combat weapon when striking anything apart from vehicles. Its still classed as a seperate close combat weapon so a bonus attack (again giving the dreadnought three attacks)

Because the tank hunting weapons (chainfist and seimic hammer) are additional weapons to a dreadnought, the 3rd attack should be that weapon. (note i said should and that this isn't always the case, in fact many believe that all the attacks get the bonuses, so this is just my 2 cents on the matter) also roll these attacks seperately when hitting a vehicle so you know which attack has the +1 to damage rolls etc.

the only way an ironclad is bumped down to 2 attacks is if you replace the drednought close combat weapon for a hurricane bolter, then it would be back down to 2 attacks the same as a standard dreadnought.

hope this clears it up.

What jasper said except boni vs armor apply to all cc attacks.

Thanks alot.
