I'm not sure that counts as a riddle... more of a guessing game.

It also doesn't have an answer.

This is an actual rule in the actual rulebook. Quit whining about how you can imagine someone's army touching you in a bad place and play by the actual rules.

well, he says Blast, not large blast.

going through is topic history, he has created a lot of eldar army lists, so i flipped through my codex.

a Focused Prism-shot is 60" str 9 ap 2 blast
another prism adds to that one shot and it goes to
range 60" STR 10 AP 1 Blast
While you could add a third to make it Str 11, the BRB says you can never go past STR 10 on a weapon, and if you took it from AP 1 to AP - you made the shot worse than it is.

STR 10 is the highest you can get
AP 1 is the king of eating armor

And still wrong, since 3 Prism Cannons are strength 10.

technically, but its technically STR 11. . . though in apoc it gets sorted all out in the Sun-Storm datasheet, three or more prisms makes the shot a Destroyer Hit



now here is one for the topic creater, when in can a Lance weapon be STR 10 AP 1?

This is a little story about four people named Everybody, Somebody, Anybody, and Nobody.
There was an important job to be done and Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it.
Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it.
Somebody got angry about that because it was Everybody's job.
Everybody thought that Anybody could do it, but Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn't do it.
It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done.

And what is the ONLY unit that has 10 wounds

No, see, a REAL 40k riddle would look like this:

I hate my friends, I hate my foes.
If the emperor himself fled from me, I'd gun him down
No amount of blood is ever too much.
No one can see me in the shadows.

What am I?

that one could sort of work. I'm not sure about an imperial assassin killing the emperor though. If the emperor ordered an assassin to kill him, would the assassin do it?

No way kharne could hide in the shadows. If it weren't the chains rattling and the constant shouts of "blood for the blood god!", it would have to be the fact that he's this huge space marine in shining gold and red armor.

So loyal. So tenacious. Truly you were the attack dog of the Emperor. You took no pleasure in what you did. I knew that then, and I know it now. But all things change, my brother.

okay, then the only question is if assassins have friends

It wasn't the original I was going for but that would count.

The answer I was going for was a commissar:

Ailaros wrote:I hate my friends,

because they're cowards.

Ailaros wrote:I hate my foes.

because they're traitors, or worse.

Ailaros wrote:If the emperor himself fled from me, I'd gun him down

because if the emperor was in a unit with a commissar that failed a morale check, the commissar would be obligated to summarily execute the model with the highest leadership (which would invariably be the emperor). The guard codex says that commissars will never execute another commissar of any rank, but it says nothing about anyone else found wanting...

Ailaros wrote:No amount of blood is ever too much.

Once again, rather self-explanatory.

Ailaros wrote:No one can see me in the shadows.

Because they wear black trench coats.
