Question: Can a Haemonculus/Haemonulus Ancient carry a Casket of Flensing when Urien Rakarth is in the army, since he has one in his wargear?

I would say No, since it is a 1 per army wargear.

Good catch though!

Drunkspleen - an IC within a retinue no longer "counts as" an IC but a UC - would that not be enough to get round it? You cannot target the IC at all therefore cannot fulfil the requirements of preferred enemy (the retinue unit certainly ISNT an IC)

Ah true, an oversight on my part, you can't even get to the point of my comparison with the Piranha situation because the Character in retinue is not a valid target to be named for Murderous Assault (given he is not an IC at the time).

Here's a random question:

Lilith gets plus attacks for every WS higher than her opponent. What happens if she was a lower WS (perhaps she suffered from the Tyranid psychic power that makes her BS and WS 1)?

I assume she doesn't get negative attacks, but thought it would be worth asking.

Isn't she immune to psychic powers?

Or am I thinking of the wrong character?

Regardless I was wondering something similar, but have not yet had a chance to read.

That would be the other Dark Eldar female: Lady Malys.

Duly noted, thank you kindly! I think I have been mixing those two up for 2 days now. . .

I could see an argument that she's -4 WS "higher", therefor "gains" -4 attacks. But, I'd think that this is not a mathematical equation hidden in English. I'd say Lilith only gains a positive number of attacks for being higher WS, and not a negative number for being lower.

That's not accurate. Her rules don't say anything about her having a higher WS. In fact, it says she gets a number of attacks equal to the difference between her's and the highest she's facing.

So if that hypothetical Hive Tyrant lowered her WS to 1, she'd get 7 extra attacks against him. Difference between 8 and 1 is 7.

@Darkness

Surely that can't be right? That would make no sense whatsoever!

Absolute difference in comparison to relative difference? Actually we've seen worse.

It is. Not like her Str 3 is killing much of anything anyway.

I thought she had poison weapons. Doesn't she?

*sigh* I really need to get a DE codex.


And, I don't know why Homer is quoting me as saying Dark Angels, not Dark Eldar. This post has never been editied, it was correct the entire time! (We really need a shifty-eyed ork emoticon)

Unless things have *really* changed in the Imperium, I think you mean a DE codex.

Remember, she can get pain tokens, so she can get furious charge. Not an epic improvement, but noticeable.

Also, statistically, 10 of her attacks will, on average, do slightly more wounds than 6 attacks by a S4 model who also hits on 3+ with a power weapon. She should have a minimum of 10 attacks in any round against basic marines.

Also, against regular attacks, her defense is pretty darn spectacular. Once she gains a pain token, it takes roughly 27 MEq attacks to put one wound on her. Also, opponents in base lose one attack down to a minimum of one. Sure, she can get a lucky gacking from a power fist, but even a regular Vet Sarge with a PF has slightly less than a 1/10 chance to kill her each round. The moral of the story for Lelith is to pick her spots before assaulting.

So, v0.3 is up now, with a few Lelith Questions, one new Duke Question iirc and Numbering!

Also, I've had some people asking me if a Wych Hekatrix (aka Vet Sergeant) can use the +D6 Wych weapon to get attacks with an agoniser, even though they both clearly replace the CCW.

Do I really need to include this do you think? D:

Ok 2 questions about the Cronos

1: Can the Cronos give pain token to models without Power from Pain?

2: It says if it kills a MODEL it can then give out pain tokens,so if i kill 5 space marines in a squad i get to give out 5 pain tokens?O.o

Nulipuli2 wrote:1: Can the Cronos give pain token to models without Power from Pain?

I would think that you could. The PtP rule states in the last couple of sentences that there are other ways to obtain pain tokens besides having the rule and wiping out enemy non-vehicle units.

v0.4 has been uploaded with questions regarding the Talos and Chronos!

i can't seem to download any...
the link is broken or something o.O???

What browser are you using?

It works for me :(

Browser

I'm hoping you mean like internet explorer or somethink...

I've come to think of them as exarchs!

Are you asking can the Wych/Bloodbride take those upgrades and then be made a Hekatrix/Syren? or can they take two upgrades that both replace a CCW? Former I would include and it applies to most of the unit champions, latter no as if someone cannot figure out you can't replace the same wargear twice then may be a nice game of checkers is in order.

BTW: I've tried to get this version with Firefox, Chrome and IE. I get plenty of ads and pop ups but no files.

Here's a good one:

Can the Chronos give a Pain Token to a unit inside a transport?

Answer: Yes (page 66 again ).

Mentioned this in the RAW Fun thread but I thought it should be mentioned here: What does Drazhar's Ancient Incubi Warsuit do? No rules mentioned for it.

A 2+ save? It's in his stat line...

It doesn't do anything.

Thread got locked before I got an answer so:
How does the Djinn blade interact with other close combat weapons? It's effect sounds like it happens in addition to any other weapons used.
