Quick question,

I run a Daemon Prince with the Black Mace a lot, and I'm not sure if I get the bonus attacks from the Daemon weapon in my Smash Attacks, and if they would be halved if I do.

My first thought is, that I do, and the process would work like this Charge(Attacks would be 3 at this point) Add the +1 attack for charging, then roll the Daemon Weapon to see how many bonus attacks I get. So, in essence it would be 4+D6 from the Daemon weapon, if I got the charge.


Is this right?

This is almost precisely the same scenario as crushing claws in the Tyranid codex, and GW ruled that works fine, so I think you're in the clear.

Actually I guess I was just transposing the rulebook FAQ ruling onto crushing claws...I don't see the actual ruling now that I'm checking.

But I still do agree with your basic reasoning compared to the rulebook FAQ anyway.

Use the normal rules for multiple modifiers (and mathematics, for that matter): divide first, round up if necessary, then add your bonus attacks.

So yes, a DP with a Daemon Weapon would get 4+D6 (kinda; he still has a minimum of 4) attacks on the charge.

Given the number of points you're paying for the ability, I don't think it's overpowered at all.

I completely agree that this approach is legal. Terrifying, but legal! lol

i forget where but i remember reading something about MC's Smash and charging bonus attacks.

It said you halved the attacks, rounded up, then added the bonus attacks. I think it was either the Nids FAQ or the BRB FAQ cause i remember it being a QnA thing.
Doesnt pertain to orks so i kinda skimmed it lol

I imagine the same ruling would apply for Daemon Weapon

Its the rulebook FAQ, and it covers Smash plus bonus attacks (such as charging).

In my memory I had extrapolated it into Crushing Claws, but the principle does apply regardless.
