Question about Warplock Pistols.
Can the Warplock Pistols (Brace) be used in close combat. No mention in the rules and I could only find house rules online. Thanks.

Okay, not sure if anyone here is extremely knowledgeable about the rules or not. It just seems kind of odd that GW didn't include it in the rules.

Mordheim was made long before the kind of common set of special rules for models, weapons etc. that later editions of Warhammer use. In those days, any special rules had to be repeated for any weapons that used them, as you can see under Pistol and Duelling Pistol. It was probably left out since it would have caused the Skaven equipment list to spill over onto another page, and all you needed was some common sense to apply the pistol rules to the Warplock Pistols.

From what I understand they use the pistol close combat rules.
This is correct - though in the original book it omits the hand-for to-hand rules for warplock pistols, an official FAQ stated they follow the same rules as regular pistols in melee.
