A Grey Knights question: Last week I played a kill team game where a rule problem came up. Hammerhand gives +1S; Daemon Hammer doubles strength. The Codex says the +1 is added before the doubling of strength from the Daemon Hammer ((S4+1)x2=10) - see page 25 of the Codex. The 6th ed Rulebook does it the other way around ((S4x2)+1=9) - see page 2 of the rulebook. I had a look in the FAQs and did a search on the forum but could not find a clarification. Any thoughts?

Specific beats general.

That was my thought, but I got over-ruled. Any thing 'official' on this one?

there is official ruleing, its in the GK codex,

it specifically states in the HH rules, pg 25, that it is applied before other modifers (ie 2x)

so yes, GK cast HH, is now str 5, with hammer, str 10,

100% iron clad, no arguement can be made that isnt the case.

Page 7, last paragraph on the page, in the BRB specifies that the codex overrides what is in the BRB. I hope that fixes your future issues.
