How many attacks will a charging Wraithblade (with swords) that is affected by the PSYTRONOME OF IYANDEN have?

What if its also affected by the wrath of the dead strategem from the vigilus book?

Im getting 7 and 9 attacks with the strat. Is this correct?

2 base + 1 to attack chatcteristic for charge bonus x2 attacks for psytronome + 1 for sword ability = 7

I don’t have my codex here but I think 7.
Don’t know what the stratagem says but if it’s what you say and multiply with 2 it will be 7.

2 base, charge and add 1 to A charistics, multiply that with the stratagem, then +1A with swords abilitie.

But as I said. Do not have my codex and don’t know exactly what the stratagem says so it might be wrong.

The sword ability allows you to make an additional attack, and doesn't change your attack characteristics. It's therefore unaffected by the x2.

As for the +1 and the x2, the order of operation is specified in a FAQ (can't remember which one, probably the BRB one). I believe you have to multiply before you add. So 2 base x 2, + 1 = attack characteristic of 5. And with the +1 from sword it's a total of 6 dice.

Q: If a unit of Wraithblades is targeted by the Psytronome of
Iyanden relic and the Wrath of the Dead Stratagem, what is
their Attacks characteristic that phase?
A: 5. When modifying characteristics you always apply
any multiplication or division (rounding fractions up)
before applying any addition or subtraction.

From the FAQ

That solves the wrath of the dead strategem. But what about the charge bonus?

You do Multiply Stats, Add Stats, Multiply Weapon Bonus, Add Weapon Bonus, in that order. The +1 to attacks stat will be applies after any multiplications.

But the model would already have attack stat of 3 when the multiply bonus is activated. So that doesnt matter?

I get the strategem and multiply buff since they are activated at the same time

When the buffs are applies are irrelevant, you always re-calculate stats with the current buffs in the prder prescribed in the rules. If you have a x2 to A, then apply a +1 to A, you have (A*2)+1 attacks. If you have a +1 to A, then apply a x2 to A, you still have (A*2)+1.

Alraight thanks all!

So a charging Wraithblade with swords and psytronome buff would have 6 attacks.
