[40K - Official] Super Heavyweight Entry Thread

[Antaeus]

*raises eyebrow at AmKhai's character's similarity to his own*

I thought the Artekus Scourge was 35pts? That's what I paid for it at least.

Also, remember the Scourge is a Daemon Weapon as well as a Power Weapon, so can attack its wielder. If it's only 25 I have 10 more pts to spend, can't find the appropriate WD

[AmKhaibitu]

My bad Antaeus, forgot to slip the Dæmon weapon instructions in there, rectified now.
And for the record I didn't look at any other entries when whipping this guy up as I actually use a termy librarian with scourge and powerfist at home.

And yes you have another lucky 10 points to spend, don't spend it all at once.

Not to mention my guy has more attacks and a 2+ save to boot... not all that similar afterall

[Skander]

But can you use the scourge the same time you use a psychic power?
(As per force weapons, I mean).

[AmKhaibitu]

Skander, the Scourge is a dæmon weapon and doesn't require a person to be psychic, it's simply trying to consume the soul of the person it hits.
So in other words I or Antaeus could pop Veil of Time and still make use of the Scourge to it's full effect while the force weapons are merely glorified power weapons we're using as 2nd CCWs

[Kargos Bloodspit]

Well, there's this.

It's the old 3rd edition Q&A.

It says...


Q. How do items listed in the Cult armouries translate to the appropriate category in the main armoury?

A. All count as Daemonic Gifts for the purposes of wargear limits except for psychic abilities (all minor powers and all Tzeentch-specific powers), which count as part of the psychic abilities and equipment list.

it even goes on to include thrall wizards and inferno bolts.

I actually think putting it up (the Q&A) on the website does more harm then good, as many of the Q & A are outdated.

It still refers to the tar...

But I suppose they feel alot of important things from this Q&A that were left out of the FAQ simply need to be up on the website.

They're right. But it it needs to be in a nice shiny new FAQ.

k, ill sort it out when I can. Im still on holiday in switzerland. I get back tommorow. (must say, bloody weird keyboard these swiss have, its got the y and z the wrong way round)

[Great Harlequin]

As a result of Phylactery, when he gets killed by anything, he can still get back up with three wounds on a 6, and on a 5 gets back up with 2, and on a 4 he gets back up with 1. On a 1-3 he is removed as a casualty as normal.

Not quite.

If he is killed by something that is a Close combat weapon that does not allow a save or causes Instant death then he does not benefit from this as per normal with the We'll be back rule.

[Harlequin'sDance]

Unless I miscount, we're up to 49. So only, 15 left.

[C'tan]

Not quite.

If he is killed by something that is a Close combat weapon that does not allow a save or causes Instant death then he does not benefit from this as per normal with the We'll be back rule.

But the resurection orb negates that rule.

[Kargos Bloodspit]

But the resurection orb negates that rule.

yes it does. What he means is, it isnt down to phylactery. To cause less "hastle", (and general avoidence of rules lawyering people like Great Harlequin ) just make it say "due to phylactery and ressurection orb: blah de blah de blah"

[Antaeus]

Edited my character in Post 21, bought him a Familiar Actually, we haven't FAQed Marine Familiars, since unlike Inquisitorial Henchmen, their stat bonus is removed if they are taken out of action - but of course in AoD they don't actually take part...

My (biased, obviously ) view is that they should simply grant +1 Initiative. After all, the Mark of Slaanesh is only 10pts and it has an almost identical effect (reducing opponet's I by 1). Whatever the decision, it'll need to go in the FAQ thread, but this is my take on it.

Fugazi: The True Grit with a Storm Bolter that Grey Knights get only works if you're in Power Armor.

Fearless – pass all morale checks
True Grit – use storm bolter in close combat
Aegis – resists psychic test by adding Ld to D6. Enemy psyker must roll equal or higher on D6 plus Ld. Minor psychic powers have no effect at all.

How curious Fugazi, I was sure that Iron Will did not mean fearless... you choose to pass or fail morale/pinning checks at will... which incidentely is somewhat better than fearless.

True Grit's already been mentioned.

I can't recall where you're grabbing Aegis from as that's a grey knight rule, not demonhunters, and an inquisitor lord is not a grey knight. I could be wrong but I'm sure the termi armour doesn't convey that bonus.

Actually forget all that... you're entering something that's not an Inquisitor Lord, you've merely mislabelled it. I checked your stats and that's no Inquisitor.
There is a big difference you know between a grey knight hero and an inquisitor lord... a difference of Strength and Toughness in particular.

[Xavier]

Someone whos bored could do me a huge favour and count how many entrys we have so far
