So only when he is protecting someone is he immune to getting gibbed by a lascannon, but if you just shoot him with a lascannon, he gets gibbed?

Makes no sense, gameplay or fluff wise. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/598880/6901880.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/598880/6901880.page GMT Farsight through the Ages

I don't get the conditional Eternal Warrior, that makes no sense.

Eternal Warrior doesn't make any sense. Don't try to assign rationale to a rule that prevents you from dying instantly. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/598880/6901922.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/598880/6901922.page GMT Farsight through the Ages

Worse of all, this is actually canon! Farsight can survive horrible injuries... as long as he is protecting someone else with his own body!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/598880/6901969.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/598880/6901969.page GMT Farsight through the Ages
Here was my rational: You're Paying 100pts for a 66% chance to Survive a Krak Missile or Lascannon wound allocated on a character. On the off chance it gets through, it's only a 2 wound model. Iridium Armor with Stimms accomplish the same thing for less than half the cost. The only real place this will make a difference is with Force and special ID causing weapons.

Also Crisis Units are 3 suits max excluding ICs. So shots from 2/3 directions would completely nullify this rule.

If even that's too much, then I guess I'll talk to my opponent before dropping it.

Finally, a naked human, Yarrick has Eternal Warrior whereas A mech with a soul-sucking sword doesn't, logic has no real place in 40k.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/598880/6902427.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/598880/6902427.page GMT Farsight through the Ages http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/598880/6903443.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/598880/6903443.page GMT Re:Farsight through the Ages http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/598880/6903831.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/598880/6903831.page GMT Re:Farsight through the Ages http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/598880/6915377.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/598880/6915377.page GMT
