If you have a Deamon Prince of Slaanesh, does the added Int value count as a modifier, or a change to the profile before the game starts.

My feelings are that since it is purchased before the game and is a constant throughout, unlike Furious Charge and a Banshee Mask as examples, that I would give my opponent the full Int 6.

I know the Mark of Nurgle might be brought up as a precident to say its not a profile change, but that Mark goes on to specifically say it isnt a profile change in reguards to ID where as this doesnt.

How do others interpret this and play? As a modifier, or as a arguable profile change pre game?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/221026/419812.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/221026/419812.page GMT Models with the Mark of Slaanesh and Sweeping Advance http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/221026/419820.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/221026/419820.page GMT Models with the Mark of Slaanesh and Sweeping Advance PF's that change stats when used.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/221026/419827.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/221026/419827.page GMT Models with the Mark of Slaanesh and Sweeping Advance http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/221026/419836.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/221026/419836.page GMT Models with the Mark of Slaanesh and Sweeping Advance http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/221026/419849.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/221026/419849.page GMT Models with the Mark of Slaanesh and Sweeping Advance http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/221026/419852.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/221026/419852.page GMT Models with the Mark of Slaanesh and Sweeping Advance Str bonus from Enhanced Warriors?

only way i can logically think of dividing it:

anything that confers a bonus to stats before the game is fine, unless it states otherwise.

anything that confers a bonus during the game (ie: things like furious charge) dont count.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/221026/419863.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/221026/419863.page GMT Models with the Mark of Slaanesh and Sweeping Advance CSM PFs can instant-kill my warboss.... and they did, the one game I've played against this!

It's 10. That isn't a +1 bonus. It just changes their Str stat from 4 to 5. So the PFs from EW are hitting with Str 10. Neat huh?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/221026/421173.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/221026/421173.page GMT Models with the Mark of Slaanesh and Sweeping Advance

No, it's 9. It IS, in fact, a +1 bonus. The Fabius Bile page does not say that their close combat attacks are resolved at Strength 5, or anything similar to that. It simply says that they have a +1 bonus to Strength. As it says in the Core Rulebook, multiply (4*2), then add (8+1). Thus, you get 9.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/221026/421186.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/221026/421186.page GMT Models with the Mark of Slaanesh and Sweeping Advance

The reason I would say yes for one and not the other is as follows.

Having the Int bonus due to an Icon is in a way, capable of being tempoary. Should the model with the Icon die, then the bonus is lost to everyone else. So its not something that the unit as a whole holds until its destruction, unlike the Prince.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/221026/421199.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/221026/421199.page GMT Models with the Mark of Slaanesh and Sweeping Advance http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/221026/421204.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/221026/421204.page GMT Models with the Mark of Slaanesh and Sweeping Advance

can you quote from the dex please?

im just thinking that since the +1 bonus applies before the game has started that it is fixed into the model profile rather than added when used.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/221026/421207.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/221026/421207.page GMT Models with the Mark of Slaanesh and Sweeping Advance

Certainly, my good penguin.

Page 53. "...Survivors are Fearless and at +1 Strength...", "...Enhanced Warriors are Fearless and at +1 Strength...".

The Core Rulebook doesn't discriminate between temporary additions and permanent additions. +1 Strength and x2 Strength are resolved by multiplying the base Strength by 2, then adding 1 to the result.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/221026/421213.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/221026/421213.page GMT Models with the Mark of Slaanesh and Sweeping Advance PF.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/221026/421214.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/221026/421214.page GMT Models with the Mark of Slaanesh and Sweeping Advance

thank you my good parrot.
then this is a bonus that is applied to a models stats before the game starts, and there for increacing the models base stats rather than being an addition like furious charge.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/221026/421215.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/221026/421215.page GMT Models with the Mark of Slaanesh and Sweeping Advance
a carnifex being given extended carapace (3+ save increaced to a 2+ save)

this is an upgrade that is performed before the battle has started, it is fixed into a models stat line.
enhanced warrior increacements (sp?) are simply an upgrade, and like all upgrades, cost points.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/221026/421217.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/221026/421217.page GMT Models with the Mark of Slaanesh and Sweeping Advance pg. 7 make no mention of any of that. There seems to be no difference between fixed bonuses and circumstantial bonuses to stats. Plus pg 40 is VERY specific that you use "the model's I from its profile, without any modifiers."

So Enhanced Warriors would get S9 with PFs, and everybody uses their "base" I for Sweeping Advance.
So Noise Marines and Demon Princes are I5 and Marines with an Icon would be I4.

Much as I'd like otherwise, that is RAW.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/221026/421227.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/221026/421227.page GMT Models with the Mark of Slaanesh and Sweeping Advance

As you can see from my OP I think its not a bonus but a stat increase.

Instant Death, for example, is figured using the basic T4 of a Plague Marine, not the T(5) conferred by the toughness bonus from the Mark of Nurgle.

If the rating of a characteristic is replaced by another rating, such as when a Carnifex is given an Extended Carapace, replacing its Sv3+ with Sv2+, then it's not a bonus. It's basically the difference between being arithmetically additive and logically additive. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/221026/426472.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/221026/426472.page GMT
