Counts as an additional hand weapon if the bearer is in base contact with an enemy.

In addition, it can be used in a similar way to a spear, allowing the bearer to make one Attack (regardless of the model's number of Attacks) through a rank of Rat Ogres. The same applies to Giant Rats, except that whip-armed models can attack over any number of ranks of Giant Rats.

An enemy model cannot attack back against whip-armed models if it is not in base contact with them.
