Hey guys,

My tomb stalker finally arrived and I've almost finished completing him (damn it was A LOT of pieces!!!!)

Anyway I was reading the experiemental rules, and I was looking at War Construct. I took a look in the BRB and I couldn't find these rules anywhere. This unit being from forge world is likely made from the Apoc rules, however I took a glance yesterday at the Apoc book at GW and I couldn't find it.

Could anybody point me in the direction of where I can locate the rules for this?

(Btw im posting this in YMDC since I'll likely have follow up questions after and i'll keep them contained in this thread)

Thanks guys!

guess considering it's still experimental rules they havnt put it in a book yet.

The rule states "Sniper weapons, attacks with the poisoned ability and the like, only wound the Tomb Stalker on a 6 (as opposed to a 4+, 2+ etc, as would normally be the case). so just makes me wonder what else it applies too since that seems like such a broad/blanket statement

War Construct: The Tomb Stalker is a huge mass of shifting
pseudo-metal, with little vulnerability except to the
massive use of force. Sniper weapons, attacks with the
Poisoned ability and the like, only wound the Tomb Stalker
on a 6 (as opposed to a 4+, 2+ etc, as would normally be
the case).

Think thats what I just typed, thanks though

I was just wondering if there is further clarification to this special rules since it says "attacks with the Poisoned ability and the like, only wound the Tomb Stalker on a 6"

So what is considered "and the like" ? Basically any weapon that says "wound on <insert dice roll here, ie 4+> , regardless of victim's toughness." ?

Ahh, I misunderstood. I thought you were saying you did not HAVE the rules for War Construct--which confused me.

That said, to address your question, your interpretation seems the best assumption--but there are not hard rules regarding what "and the like" means.

Alright, cool

Guess I don't have any follow up questions !

I guess it would apply to most things with a Strength "X"

Chaos daemons flamers would also wound on 6s, as they normally wound on a 4+ regardless. Same for agonisers, etc.

Anything that wounds on a fixed value, in other words.

Heres a thread from alittle while ago about it, ive also got a Tomb Stalker already and waiting aswell and 2 more to put together but they can wait for alittle but as it is abit of a nightmare with all the parts.
