[40K - Official] Super Heavyweight Entry Thread

[Xavier]

Heres a question which may well of come up before but I'm not sure Grey Knights have the special rule which results in Daemons having to roll a D6 for their charge distance - am I right in assuming this will not actually have any effect in the Arena or should it be noted? I'm just wondering as if it did have effect it *could* potentially allow a Grey Knight two rounds of shooting at such opponents :-s

No, while your argument has merrit, their is only 1 shooting phase per match then you are automatically in combat.

[Lord Setra]

Im in. WIll post a character tonight

[Col.Gravis]

*nods* Tis what I suspected, just thought it was worth confirming in case it was something useful to add to my entry, as its not I shall not Cheers

@Commander X

Just to point out, yep you start 6", a difficult terrain test could result in the Daemon Prince rolling less then 6" to charge as you point out, if this was possible an extension of this would be to specifiy in your tactics to stand still and shoot for all ur worth - not charging if possible.

[Rogue Sun]

*Thinks*
Are you sure Scourging doesn't include the 'instead of making another shooting attack' line most ranged powers have?

It does, the codex specifically says " Scourging is a psychic power that may be used in the psykers's shooting phase instead of firing a weapon.

Also as a side note, if he chooses to use scourging instead of his psycannon, then he can't use his force weapons special abilty in the first round of combat...

Edited my character slightly, I'd gone over the Daemonic allowances... D'oh

[Lord Balor]

The Bound Daemon Arazil

Wargear
Chaos Lord (60), Mark of Slaanesh (10), Combat Drugs (25), Spikey Bits (10), Close Combat Weapon (1), Frag Grenades (1), Krak Grenades (2), Daemonic Stature (15), Daemonic Aura (15), Dread Axe (25), Daemonic Resilience (10), Daemonic Strength (10), Furious Charge (15) = 199 Points

Stats
WS: 6
BS: 3
S: 5 (6) -> On Charge (7)
T: 5 (6)
W: 3
I: 5 -> On Charge (6)
A: 4 -> With Combat Drugs (5)
LD: 10
Sv: 3+/5+

Special Rules & Equipment
Spikey Bits: Re-roll 1 missed attack each assault phase
Monstrous Creature: Ignores Armour Saves
Dread Axe: Ignores Invulnerable Saves. For each casualty, take LD check or suffer Periels of the Warp.
Warp Scream: Enemy at -1 Initiative
Combat Drugs:Roll a die for each 'Boost' chosen. If Double, loose a wound, if triple, dies. Use all three boosts according to list below:
Boost 1: • Always roll +1 Attack
Boost 2: • If enemy WS is 6, then use +1 WS drug (so still hits on 3+) else
• If enemy has natural Toughness of 4, then use +1 S drug only on charge (so he has Str 8 on charge, enough to insta-kill T4). This drug takes presidence, if both conditions are met. If both apply, use only this one.
Boost 3: • If enemy is not Str 10, use ignore first unsaved wound. If they are, use the unused boost from Boost two.

Hopefully its all correct as it was a rush job. 6 attacks on the charge re-rolling one and wounding on 4+ or better with no saves at all and essentially at I7, Arazil hopes to smah them before the same happens to him...

I'm glad we can all come up with unique princes That's the problem with the super heavyweight. There can only be so many types of worthwhile contenders...After that, people just start cloning my entries

I just opened first Page, Saw Pert's entry and said wow, that's exactly what i wanted to do. So to be different i went for speed and attacks over his Inst-Death critter of doom. Didn't realise someone else had thought the exact same thing...honest

[Kensai X]

Wow I'll be the only Marine in this whole tourny and probably be killed in the first round... but at least I'm unique!

Also the problem of to many chaos characters could be solved by only letting in a certain % of Chaos and Tyranid players in.

[grizzly ruin]

You'll also find that I was the first Khornate Chaos lord, and then up pops an EXACT clone of my character Along with 2 or 3 other similar characters...

You do realise there are only so many configs for Daemon Princes right?

If you were really that original, you'd be the one trying out an entrant from a different codex.

Also the problem of to many chaos characters could be solved by only letting in a certain % of Chaos and Tyranid players in.

That would effectively be handicapping the other players who want to enter when they are going to be facing "ringers" (i.e. all the monstrous creatures).

[Antaeus]

@Kensai: My Librarian's in. A bastion of light in this sea of darkness, we are

Probably get drawn against each other now

[Skander]

Speaking again about the case when a mini is not allowed to charge a grey knight (or a Nid with The Horro power)... Xabier has said this doesn´t allow you to shoot again at this mini, as your character will be close enough to charge by himself... But then again, the daemon trying to charge the grey knight, as he has seen his charge negated, isn´t allowed the benefits for the charge , isn´t it? (I mean +1 attack for charging, +1 strenght for furious charge and this kind of things).

[ZigZagMan]

I don't think Demonic stature Lords can use pistols at all

[Commander X]

ZigZagman is right, Statured Lords may only use a specific arsenal of weaponry, listed in the entry for D.Stature.

[grey_painter]

Wow I'll be the only Marine in this whole tourny and probably be killed in the first round... but at least I'm unique!

Is my wolf lord not a marine anymore then?

[Kensai X]

No, no he's not he actually has halfway decent stats and everyone knows that Marines are supposed to lose in these tournaments...

let me know if anything is wrong since I made it with army builder…
for combat drugs always use: 1A, and reroll misses (I am kinda assuming the roller will know combat drugs aka roll a D6 for each, and on a double they take a wound, triple are killed outright.


edited out the nurgle DP since there is already a bunch of DP and no one had put in a archon/archite.

apearence: tall and slim with delicate features that hides tremendous strength. the archite fights with tremendous speed and skill, making attacks that are almost invisable to humans.
the archon wears dark red, with silver decorations.

[Puffin Magician]

Commander X is correct, its instead of another shooting attack.

Well crap. Entry will be edited to swap that for something useful.

Edit: What about the Psychic Powers Sanctuary, and Word of the Emperor? Can they be used to keep any Daemons at bay allowing me to blast them with my Psycannon?
