Blacksword Missiles? Doesn't ring a bell? And GW insisting on removing Missile Lock from Nephelim despite that new version of this USR in fact works with this missiles allowing to rerole to Hit rolls.

Except that's not useless. If the unit assaulting the rhino fails the fear check then they hit the rhino on 4+ instead of 3+

Precision shots on the Harlequin Solitaire.
My only thought on when this would come into play would be him throwing a haywire grenade at a special formation squadron of walkers like something in the ork codex where there's two kinds of walkers in a squadron?
Haywire nades are the only shooting phase weapon he can ever use...
Also, stikkbomb launcher on ork vehicles.

Perhaps I'm wrong but... Don't stikkbomm chukkas allow the vehicle to 'throw' assault grenades? It's another small blast, so it's not completely worthless.

Lance. It literally has the most stupendously OP potential but is used on platforms/weapons that makes it inferior to almost all other equivalent AT in the game.

This is interesting and correct. You don't get the re-rolling, so....

That is dumb. I mean your suggestion, not the rules. Bolters, Lasgun, Pulse Rifles, any basic weapon will fit this rule.

Here are my picks:
- Assault Grenades on Gargants and Ravenent Titan. They are already I1.
- Furious Charge on Dreadknight and Wraithknight. You can still get this from Warlord Trait. And I always lament when my Dreadknight has it.
- Master Crafted range weapon on anyone with BS10.
- Iron Halo on any character with Storm Shield. I am talking about you, Draigo and Lysander.

Actually, that'd be helpful if you fought tzeench daemons due to the warpflame rule.

IIRC, primary weapon lets you roll 2 dice and pick the highest (just like ordnance), so wouldn't that help to avoid rolling those 1's?
bibotot wrote:Here are my picks:

Enfeeble gives -1 Str, and if you need str 10 to double something out...
Handy for snap shots like overwatch or firing at invisible units.
bibotot wrote:- Iron Halo on any character with Storm Shield. I am talking about you, Draigo and Lysander.
Was handy before when assassins had shieldbreaker rounds that destroyed whatever wargear gave you an invo, thatway you'd still get a 4++ once the stormshield was destroyed, but that's not how they work now.
