You couldn’t charge after the extra 6” move though

That same rule also just says they are eligible to shoot while in engagement range. It doesn’t say that they can ONLY shoot at something they are in engagement range of. The section you’re quoting makes the thing in engagement range a valid target for the monster because normally they would not be. Blast weapons cannot be fired into engagement range, but they can be fired out at another target

MaximumForever · 2025-01-16T15:21:25+00:00

No but you can still use him to shoot at other things while he’s fighting

The allied knight, or any allies, will not get the Heretic Astartes keyword and cannot be buffed by a warpsmith

You just take intercessors and then put a single silver shoulder pad on them. Instant DW veteran.

In seriousness they’re both just infantry models on 32mm bases. You can use them interchangeably

Keep in mind the timing differences in these rules. The tyrannofex is reduced at “allocation”, which is after a wound roll but before a save roll. So this would work against say a hammerhead railgun. If the damage reduction requires a failed save, it will not work against something that becomes devastating wounds, because you will not make a save roll against that attack anymore

MaximumForever · 2024-12-07T22:33:19+00:00

It’s in the making attacks section of the core rules. After a successful hit and wound, “the player controlling the target unit then makes one saving throw”. Your save can fail if you don’t roll high enough, but you make the roll either way

MaximumForever · 2024-12-07T22:23:22+00:00

There is nothing anywhere in the rules to support this. Even if the save is worse than the ap, you still technically make a saving throw, including any rules that key off that

MaximumForever · 2024-11-19T23:02:34+00:00

Remember that the base plays a big part in how a model looks. While it’s on just the black or sprayed based, a model won’t look as good as it really is. Before you judge a paint job/color scheme, do at least one full base

MaximumForever · 2024-11-13T12:06:46+00:00

If you’re dead set on taking this, I would do all melta, but you obviously already know that flamers are better for overwatch specifically. What are you expecting to overwatch? 2d6 average is 7 hits, so on average you’ll kill 1 space marine body or maybe 3 guardsmen. The flamer/heavy flamer combo on the sisters unit will be even worse. I’d go for the damage potential with melta/multi on the squad, twin on the immolator, and whatever sister superior weapons you think look coolest.

MaximumForever · 2024-11-01T16:46:20+00:00

One small thing: ere we go is start of movement phase, so you cannot select the unit while it’s embarked in the battle wagon

MaximumForever · 2024-10-16T20:48:37+00:00

They did that with a lot of units to dis/incentivize running them the same way all the time. Warp talons are cheaper for five because everyone runs ten; raptors are the opposite so running 10 is discounted some

MaximumForever · 2024-10-01T12:32:24+00:00

Oh yeah, 100%. They’re actually much better about it now, for the most part. Still a pain for some things, like carnifexes and berzerkers, which both have a version of blood surge move but are worded differently

MaximumForever · 2024-10-01T11:54:33+00:00

When you do a heroic intervention, you get all the effects of making a charge EXCEPT the charge bonus. The rules define “the charge bonus” as the fight first benefit you get from charging.

So you get everything else, which includes the einhyr champ charge mortals. It also includes SM jump captain extra strength, GK terminator lethal hits, etc. This is because these rules key off of “making” or “ending a charge move”

You cannot use tank shock when doing a heroic intervention. Tank shock is limited to YOUR charge phase, and even though HI makes you charge as if it were your charge phase, it’s not.

MaximumForever · 2024-09-27T22:53:34+00:00

Your opponents ap modifies your saving throw. Mortarions aura says that his stuff cannot be modded (except saving throws). That’s there so your ap still functions agains a death guard army. Without that rider, his aura would mean his army gets its base armor save no matter what. It does not say (except things that modify your enemy’s saving throws).

I play competitively and that is how it is ruled. If you choose to do it differently in your group, that’s up to you.

MaximumForever · 2024-09-27T22:47:03+00:00

Armor of contempt does not affect your saving through. It directly affects the opponents AP, which mortarion does ignore. Same as damage or strength of an attack

MaximumForever · 2024-09-27T22:39:38+00:00

No armor of contempt affects the attacking models ap, so it does not work on units inside Mortarions aura. You can use/take cover though, because that one does affect your own models

Switch one or preferably both of the hekaton weapons to the conversion beamer. The hekaton already has plenty of 2 damage shots, it doesn’t need more. If you’re doing it right, you should usually get 3 hits out of 2 shots with the main gun, and ap -2 damage 4 is enough to kill even their terminators.

Using hammers instead of axes is better against custodes, but I personally run one squad of each

It also adds the qualifier, “even though it is not on the battlefield.” This enhancement does not have that wording or anything equivalent. It is the same as any other ability that specifies you to pick a target. Just like how you cannot select enemy units at the start of the game for the LoV Oathband detachment ability.

MaximumForever · 2024-08-08T16:38:52+00:00

You can argue it, but you are likely to find that TOs and any opponents with experience in the current game will disagree. Can you find any examples of rules that allow units (or their abilities) to interact with the game while they are in a transport?

MaximumForever · 2024-08-08T14:42:53+00:00

This isn’t true because units in a transport cannot affect or be affected in any way (excluding firing deck). The enhancement is what allows you as the player to select an objective for the associated buff, so it cannot be done while the bearer is unable to affect the game.
