So I was looking through my GK codex and saw something that caught my eye. I use jokaero weaponsmiths in my IG army, and I know that they have digital weapons. When I was looking through the codex it didn't say anything about it being to shoot different kinds of guns etc. I know that those rules exist, but I couldn't find them in the codex. Digital Weapons didn't even show up in the "reference" section at the back of the book. I was wondering if someone could help me find the rules for the digital weapons. I would really appreciate it. Thanks.

Jokaeros' weapons are probably explained on their page in the fluff part of the rules, where "regular" digital weapons (a re-roll to wound) would be in the wargear part, usually before the gallery of pictures.

page 56


or did you mean 50 (bottom left)?

I got it, page 50 bottom left, I just hadn't scoured the page completely. So, those things are really cheap. You take 12 monkeys in a squad and you can easily take out pretty much whatever you want (you could probably do some significant damage to say a Revenant, but not kill it) Just go LC for everyone and boom. What do you think? My friend created an amazing GK spam list. Its a ton of monkeys behind void shields. I will try and get the list from him and post it. What do you think about these weapons?

12 jokaero would waste their augmentation abilities, since they would be unable to roll anything under a 6. They'd also be incredibly expensive and incredibly fragile.

Still, no one would see it coming. You might get a couple sucker-punch victories.

If you could get them in an open-topped transport, that might be dope, since they could barbecue people with the heavy flamers.

2 squads of 10 Jokers in a Stormlord. Add 2 prescience Inquisitors, and fill the rest with useful henchfolk.

You can get a lot from the weaponsmiths with just the chimera. Down side is they don't have relentless so the transport needs to stop for them to fire :(

lol, I would love to see 4 squads of jokaero with 4 presience inquisitors in each XD

Can any of the Inquisitors GIVE them Relentless? That'd be buck nasty.

What book is the Stormlord in? Is that a Forgeworld thing?

Personally, I love henchfolk shenanigans, and I have a large supply of models I can use as Jokaero, so this is a really interesting idea to me.

Jokaero need Prescience, otherwise the BS 3 hurts. You really have to have a good way to protect them. In a vehicle(chimera) behind cover (ADL) works really well

DJGietzen,

Why would having relentless inside a transport change things for them?

Combat speed the passengers count as having moved. This is only a problem really for heavy weapons unless you have relentless.
It gives no benefit at cruising speed, but at least you do get a bit of manoeuvrability.

You're right, I was thinking on the wording of Cruising speed and for some reason forgot that Combat speed is different.
See, this is why we ask questions people!

Do still ponder over this one though:
One rule says to treat the model as stationary, even if moves
One rule says to treat the model as having moved, even though technically it was stationary
Both are applied at the same time....

Which has more priority?

Edit: Nevermind.

I plan that same list 3 Void Shield Buildings and a promethium pipe line to give em all torrent. Put Coteaz with em and no one can deep strike next to them. That is 12 Monkeys with 9 Void Shields than can use 12 heavy flames at an additional 12 inches.

You could even put a Scout Titan with them for 750 with the 2 D str guns. Then it would be covered by the 9 void shield guns.

There is a rule covering things that happen at the same time
Since it's your turn you choose the order.
So first you count as having moved,
Which then counts as stationary.

I was going to think of some way to mash them together, as some sort of mental puzzle just to see if it was possible, but I don't think I will bother after all... besides, I just in love with page 9 at the moment as others might of figured out from the Void Shields and Defense Grenade threads.

Thats a good idea. What about in tournaments without Escalation and Stronghold Assault? Where are you going to put your monkeys? I am thinking about a Bastion...
