<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "IG PBS vs SW's rules question"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/15.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net IG PBS vs SW's rules question IG player I am trying to think of ways to stop the Crazy OP psychic phase of the SW's. I have a question if this is a possible way to defend against it. Can I use a PBS to lower the leadership of Rune Priests so that they will have an almost impossible time to use their Powers and Psychic Hoods when they have to take their Pyschic/Leadership test?

I also believe that Rune Priests don't have Psychic Hoods and instead will dispel a psychic power cast within 24" of them on a 4+. Fortunately Psycker Battle Squad powers are both 36" range.

A nice proactive psychic stomping using a Soulstorm might work though. Even if you don't condemn the Rune Priest to Instant Death (supposing your squad has 8+ survivors), the Rune Priest and his squad might Fall Back.

Otherwise, just shoot him. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/257987/996952.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/257987/996952.page GMT IG PBS vs SW's rules question 1) JotWW is not That Strong, nor are any of the other SW powers. If the Rune Priest is within 24", he is within range of every single heavy weapon you can bring to bear.

2) Weaken resolve only works on your turn.

But I don't think it will be that big against most armies. Nidzilla is gonna hate it, but most of the rest of us can shrug it off, altho I admit I won't like the puppy player to be able to specifically target my heavy weapons in the Infantry squads.
Yeah, because only Space Wolves can do it. No Other army can. Space Wolves are so Broken because they have One ability can target specific models.

Oh Wait, Space Marines can do it too. So Can Dark Angels, Blood Angels, Imperial Guard, Black Templars, Daemonhunters, Witch Hunters, Eldar, Orks, Necrons, Chaos Daemons and Chaos Space Marines. But yeah, character/model sniping was, like, totally removed for 5th.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/257987/1000806.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/257987/1000806.page GMT Re:IG PBS vs SW's rules question SM+Orks require a special character, which are automatically rule breaking and not worth discussing.
CSM/Daemons can do it extremely ineffectively with an expensive power. I've never seen it used.
Eldar is a good precedent, though very much inferior to the powers it competes with. Seen it once or twice out of dozens of Eldar games.

care to elaborate for dark/blood angels, templars, guard, daemon/witch hunters and Necron?

The point is, it's a way to easily kill things people are used to being able to keep alive, sometimes fairly effectively; PK nobs, IG heavy/special weapons and plague marines (gone on 4+), carnifexes (at best 4+, though usually 3+), even terminators, PF sarges and librarians are gone on 5+. But for the most part, it's combat effectiveness is unlikely to be much better a decent low AP gun. Though the exception of clumped infantry against a vehicle comes to mind...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/257987/1002231.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/257987/1002231.page GMT IG PBS vs SW's rules question http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/257987/1002240.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/257987/1002240.page GMT Re:IG PBS vs SW's rules question

Dark Angels, Blood Angels, Black Templars, Guard, Inquisition - Vindicare Assassin. Some of them may have more, but they all have the Vindicare at the very least.

Necrons - The Monolith's Particle Whip. All models under the template suffer a Strength 9, AP 3 hit that can be allocated as the defending player chooses. The exception to this, is whichever model is under the hole of the template. This model suffers a Strength 9, AP 1 hit. So, if I can get the hole of the template over your attatched character, said character suffers the hit.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/257987/1002243.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/257987/1002243.page GMT Re:IG PBS vs SW's rules question

I dunno if I buy that interpretation of the particle whip though. To me, it looks an awful lot more like the following:

final hit location is determined for the blast. All models hit take S9 AP3 hits. The one under the hole takes a S9 AP1 hit. Then you roll to wound, and THEN allocate.

remember, wounds are allocated *after* hits; meaning once you know the unit has or hasn't taken a S9 AP1 hit, and has/hasn't been wounded by it, you can allocate that anywhere you want.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/257987/1002279.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/257987/1002279.page GMT IG PBS vs SW's rules question faq acknowledges this.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/257987/1002285.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/257987/1002285.page GMT IG PBS vs SW's rules question RaW for the Whip is clear though.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/257987/1002457.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/257987/1002457.page GMT
