Hi everyone.

First, want to apologise if I have placed this topic inappropriately, if there is somewhere more approppriate I'm afraid I missed it.

Right, well, got a question about what I believe is a fundamental aspect of a Daemonhunter army. I don't believe I fully understand the chart called the Nemesis Force Weapon bonus chart. (See Below)

Anyway. I don't think i've fully understood what this chart means, here is what I gleaned from it;

GKs NFW grant them +2 Str
The Justicar, Terms and BCs NFW gran them +2 Str and Power Wep rules
The GKGMs NFW grants 2 STR and has both the Power Wep and Force Wep rules.

Is this correct?

There are some big arguments of weather the Grandmasters NFW also ignores Eternal Warrior. I am of the standing it does but some say it does not. So make sure to ask your opp. before you play. Also if you do a quick search in you make da call section you should be able to find it. (That would also be the proper place to post things like this.)

By the way welcome to Dakka.

Versteckt in den Schatten deines Geistes.

Force Weapons as per the DH Codex kill you outright, and do not cause Instant Death (unless of course the DH Codex says 'Instant Death', in which case I retract my statement).

In any case, this is the problem with trying to use a Codex written for 3rd Ed in 5th Ed. And we can't use designer intent as it's changed so much since then that it's meaningless. I can tell you though that in 3rd Ed, an instant death immunity (like a Daemonic Rune) did not stop outright death from a Force Weapon, so I see no reason why Eternal Warrior should do the same thing.

What a suprise NFW ignore Eternal Warrior. Of course you should ask your opponent before playing.

No you shouldn't. If your opponent is getting butthurt about his Lash Princes dying instantly, slap him and tell the spanker to buck up and play by the rules.

People are like dice, a certain Frenchman said that. You throw yourself in the direction of your own choosing. People are free because they can do that. Everyone's circumstances are different, but no matter how small the choice, at the very least, you can throw yourself. It's not chance or fate. It's the choice you made.

This argument has been had over and over again. I am going to let it be. It is just safer and no one starts arguing.

Yes, it is a ridiculous argument because all the Daemon and Lash CSM players get all whiny about it. Oh, boo hoo, your Daemons can be killed by Daemonhunters too easily.

lol, no deamon player will ever play against my IG or eldar on the off chance that either army will have "WTF Terminators in a wave serpent/chimera!" (even though neither is legal) This is the result of insta-gibbing carnifexes, making entire squads of bloodletters dissapear in a blaze of incierator fire and the dimise of Angron. I always say that this little rule almost, but not quite, makes up for; overpriced PAGK, sucky ass-cannons and the banishment of deamonic instability.

When a Daemonhunters player tells a CSM player that RAW he can still instantly kill you even with Eternal Warrior just show him how RAW your whole squad can shoot out of a Rhino. Then agree to be reasonable and accept the rules aren't perfect and play nice

...yes , how whiny of someone to get upset about ambiguous rules that should have been updated a long time ago. Instead of taking 5mins to give players a ruling on this and many of the other similar problems they continue releasing space marine codexes and overpriced boxed sets/scenery. I don't find fault with either group, but outdated terms creating a loophole around newer edition rules is something that should have been taken care of long ago. 5mins of work from GW to save hundreds if not thousands of people from arguing every time they try to start a game.

DH's should obviously be a great army to use against a daemon army or an army using daemons, but a new codex should be done to make those benefits a DH army gets over daemons more clear for 5th edition and balanced so no one feels they are being cheated.

In the embrace of the great Nurgle, I am no longer afraid, for with His pestilential favour I have become that which I once most feared: Death.

It's not ambiguous. You get hit, you die. It was written in 3rd edition, when immunity to instant death existed (such as Daemonic Runes, etc).

If you really have problems telling the difference between 'instant death' and 'slain outright' you are a fool. It's not hard to understand at all.

Cheese is right, but I wish gwar! was here so I could agree with him instead. The GKGMNFW is one of the few strengths grey knights have as an army, among their weaknesses are lack of rhinos for their basic troops, crappy land raiders with no POTMS, overcosted EVERYTING, and IIRC, no access to meltas outside of crusaders.

An Inquisitor retinues Warrior may purchase a melta if its a guardsman warrior. both the warrior and melta are 10 pts each. They really aren't too common.

As far as I can see, the only NFW with the force weapon rule is the one weilded by the 145 pt HQ choice, the Grey Knight Grand Master (Grey Knight Hero). So even if it does bypass EW, I dunno what the odds really are of a GKHGM making an attack against an enemy with EW. Although i'd likely try prioritise such a target with a GKHGM, I don't know to what extent I'd truely try.

In honesty the only thing I've ever faced with EW has been Yarrick and even then I was teamed with an IG player and I think he ended yarrick with a squad of rattlings and a special weapons squad of snipers.
