Possessed mutations weapon clarification?

Hey guys,

I am new to mordheim, and after having tried witch hunters/shadow warriors. I am now playing the Possessed, and plan on doing so in the future.

However at the moment me and my group are having some issues with my mutations, as we're not sure what to classify it as.

Scorpion Tail:
The mutant has a long barbed tail with a venom tip, allowing him to make an extra Strength 5 attack in each hand-to-hand combat phase. If the model hit by the tail is immune to poison, the Strength of the hit is reduced to 2.
At the moment we're treating it as unarmed weapon. Basicly as if you're punching with your fist.
And is the poison part of it just roleplay, or does it actually do something?

Great claw:
One of the mutant’s arms ends in a great, crab-like claw. He may carry no weapons in this arm, but gains an extra attack in hand-to-hand combat with a +1 Strength bonus.
We are treating it as a sepperate attack from the mainhand weapon.

Are we doing it the right way, or do you guys know the correct/best way to deal with it?

Also would like to share my beast, which got my a victory over our strongest player (rating 252, against my 91)

Possessed:
M WS BS S T W I A ld
5 5 0 4 6 2 6 2 7

Axe, mace, dagger.

Skills:
Scorpion Tail
Fear
Mighty Blow
Strike to Injury
Sprint

This thing, I guess i was very lucky with rolls, or it's the nature of the possessed creatures. My first ever scenario, I was just planning to instantly route and grab the gold. But the group didn't allow "it's supposed to be fun" So I played against another newbie, and he had his 4 heroes charge this 1 guy succesfully. 1 of them killed himself due to my scorpion tail. And in my turn I killed the other 3.

Welcome to the forum!

The tail does count as an unarmed attack for the purposes of critical hits. The in game affect of the poison is the strength of the attack: S5 if the target is not immune to poison and S2 if the target is.

That is correct.

Okay thanks a lot!

Your possesed may not use any weapon:

Weapons/Armour: None. The Possessed never use
weapons or armour.

He always strike unarmed, but suffer no penalties for it.

I completely missed the weapons listed in the second post. As quoted above the Possessed may not use weapons or armour.
