<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Stacking debuffs ?"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/27.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Stacking debuffs ? I use pDenny frequently, and that's what she does.

Are there minimum stat numbers allowed? IE, can I actually take a model's SPD or DEF to 0?
I don't have my book handy, and its driving me nuts that I can't look it up for sure.

I have this vague recollection that there are minimum numbers. But that may just be an artifact from playing Wargames for nearly 20 years.

I was thinking about an upcoming game, where I know my opponent will be using Gorten.
Knowing this, I can make his SPD a 0 with Crippling Grasp and the Withering.

Also, I believe he is ARM 19 that I can knock down to an effective 10 on Feat turn (-2) with Parasite(-3), and an Armor-Piercing Ripjaw(+2 damage on small base).
Down to 8 with Dark Shroud (-2) in the area.

The last time I got close was when I got Karchev with Black Oil, Feat, Parasite, Dark Shroud, then charged with a Ripjaw.
I had to run a Bane Thrall up for the DS, but the look on my opponent's face as we totalled up was priceless.
Not 1's to hit, and ARM 3 I think it ended up being with the Ripjaw's charge.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/396299/3308466.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/396299/3308466.page GMT Re:Stacking debuffs ? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/396299/3309498.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/396299/3309498.page GMT Stacking debuffs ? DEF, which bottoms-out at 5. It's in the last part of modifiers and the definition of things like current and base stats.

21, armor piercing to 11, -3 parasite, -2 feat, -2 shroud brings it to 4... where's the other -3 coming from? That being said, bringing Beast to 4 Armor is hilarious and is seriously making me consider Ripjaws in my pDenny list.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/396299/3309606.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/396299/3309606.page GMT Stacking debuffs ? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/396299/3309629.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/396299/3309629.page GMT Stacking debuffs ?

Yup.

I'm sorry but an army shouldn't be able to do that (tbh its really not that difficult or hard to pull off).

I only have seen this when the stars align myself. Usually that many resources are better spent elsehwere, because when you get soemthing to about ARM 10, they are effectively boned anyhow. It's how the Asphyxious and a pack of Bonejacks seems to work in my experiene, but not really something you expect to see every day.

In addition to what Blaque said, you're also likely ignoring the rest of the army effectively to do it.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/396299/3312243.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/396299/3312243.page GMT Stacking debuffs ?

If it's Karchev at the other end of this debuff, I'm ok with that. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/396299/3312525.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/396299/3312525.page GMT Stacking debuffs ?

Perhaps. But you don't have to devote more than 1 bane to get dark shroud. Parasite should be already out there via arch node. So your really only alcoating Gorman and an armor pierciing attack plus a bane (so 7isih poiints).

I agree you don't need to get them all the way down to the jack or that it will happen often but it is possible.

Seriously? If you devote all your focus, pop your feat, and position three different units (at least) to to knock out a single piece of armor that your oponent left in range of all of the above, I'd hope you'd kill it.

You can't view in a vacuum. Denny should be working with 5 focus that turn (if both upkeeps are already in play which they should be). She allocates 1 focus to the jack with AP what she does with the rest is not important for this discussion.

After using her feat, Gorman walks up and throws his bomb. The jack is now at -7 armor. You charge a single bane into the jack...or frankly the entire unit should be able to finish even a khador heavy off - but lets say the go charge something else.

The AP jack is the final touch at 3d6 + PoW the jack is either dead or left with under 5 boxes (assuming average rolls).

Its really a viable and cheap cost tacit - one that I haven't found a counter to unless your running heavy on the shooting side.

Perhaps I'm just bitter because I can count on one hand the number of times I've beaten a competitive Denny list. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/396299/3317096.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/396299/3317096.page GMT Re:Stacking debuffs ?
