Hi

Could a biomancy libby with endurance work with th/ss terminators?

Was trying to work out the rolls. IE a th/ss termie gets hit with a lascannon. He wont get his armor save, but he will still get his 3+ invul save from the ss. However, failing that if the libby had endurance applied to the unit, the termie would still get a feel no pain roll?

No, as S9 > T4*2 (T8), so the Termie would have been ID'd, negating the FNP

oh crap yes indeed str 9 -my bad example.

Lets say that scenario was a plasma cannon then?

Yes, you would get the FNP. FNP is a post-save wound remover. after failing the save, the model is dead unless you remove that wound via FNP or you have multiple wounds.

hmm seems like a nice strat to me. Do many people run this?

I mean having to shoot an ap2 weapon thru the Invul save and then FnP save. Makes them pretty durable I would think?

The problem with this tactic is that you're relying on rolling the power to begin with. While all of the powers are useful in certain circumstances, the majority (including the Primaris) are not particularly fantastic for TH/SS Termies. Iron Arm could be useful if you want the Librarian to hunt MCs with his Force weapon - which is not a bad role for TH/SS to begin with.
