I've noticed they've taken all references to hand weapons out (or I couldn't find any). This includes Clansmen of Lamedon, who previously only had 2H weapons and *no* hand weapon. So I guess we have to assume that everyone has one? This means that Khand got a boost to F4, and have 2H weapons, but don't have to use them...

I think that this does mean that everything comes with a hand weapon.

Also, IU think GW noticed this with the Khandish, because to exchange their 2-handed weapon for a bow, it now costs a point rather than being free.

same for the Corsair arbalesters, used to say they were unarmed, now it just mentions that they dont get the bonus to their defense because they have a crossbow :)

I haven't found any hand weapons referenced in my sourcebook, I think it means they are just giving everyone it, which i think, solves a lot of problems.

Also makes something like an elven blade a moot point when you have something like an uruk berserker who keeps a dagger in his loincloth and can do the same thing...

There are still a couple of profiles that say the model is unarmed, so we must assume any models that now get them must be a change and not an oversight.

Geez, GW still hasn't made the Elven Blade worth taking. That's depressing.
