Hi All,
With his toughness 8, the Deceiver is pretty safe from standard weaponary instant death (S16 anyone?), but what about the obscure things that can instant death him.

Can things like the Blissgiver Daemon weapons or Force weapons instant kill him? Can he be turned into spawn on the roll of a six with Gift of Chaos? Shokk Attack guns?

The codex only covers D-Cannons, and the Deciever is not Eternal Warriror so whats out there that could take him down in your opinion? Any odd rules interactions concerning him?

There's quite a few things out there that inflict instant death regardless of Toughness, Skulltaker, Ko'sarro Khan (or however you spell his name), Force Weapons, etc.

Although in most cases those abilities usually require an unsaved wound to be inflicted and with a T8 the attacking model will have to have at least S5 attacks to wound him in the first place.

And of course any abilities that simply remove the model from play, like Lukas the Trickster, Shokk Attack Gun, Gift of Chaos, etc will all work as well.

The deceiver is only immune to wraith cannon, if memory serves.

Anything that causes ID directly, without caring about s vs t, will ID the ctan

Yes, anything other than a Wraithcannon that just causes Instant Death will work against the C'Tan. Just one of the lovely "benefits" to having such an old codex.
