What happens? Do the Grey Knights strike at I1, or I3?

I'm leaning towards I1, but I don't really have any RAW to back that up.

They strike at I3

Lash whips reduces base to I1 and then Halberds give a +2

according to the Nid FAQ, Lash whips take effect, then modifiers.

So lash whips reduce banshees to I1, then banshees strike at I10 pursuant to their masks.

Khorne Zerks or Priested Angels, are reduced to I1, then furious charge boosts em to I2.

I assume halbred work the same way, reduced to I1, then boosted to I3.

It kind of sucks for the nids, but that FAQ wasn't very fair to the buggers.

I3 i believe, gimme a sec to dig out the source though and ill post it.

Thanks for the help.

Not too big of a deal, everything in my army that takes Lash Whips strikes before I3 anyways.

Actually not entirely true. all Grey Knights come with Grenades that Make Psykers and Demons Strike at I1. Therfore a Hive Tyrant with Bonesword and Lash Whip would strike at I1, and the Halberds would strike at I3.

True but only when Grey Knights charge First

Thats why you have the whips on the guards and keep the tyrant out of it for the 1st turn.
GK strike at I3, tyrant guard strike at I4.

what happens if Quicksilver was cast on the Grey Knights...........

What takes precedence? Lash or Quicksilver?

Quicksilver.

So the Grey Knights strike at I10 then?

That's just... too good...

EDIT: Checked the Tyranid FAQ. Yep, before any other modifiers. Dirty.

Thought so, but wasn't sure of lash's wording.
