eyescrossed Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Firstly, has anyone used him, and how effective was he, secondly, was he meant to have feel no pain or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrike22 Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 no have not used him so i dont know how good he is. as for the FNP i am doubtful as they have corrected the Slaanesh one but have not for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Malachi Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 I can't see why they wouldn't have given him feel no pain, when almost everything else nurgle has gets it, but if he hasn't got it, he hasn't got it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the biggest reason why he doesn't have FnP is how tough he already is, and how few weaponry can touch him, also he's got a ton of wounds... FnP would make it impossible to kill him.

Captain Malachi Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Agreed, but it would be fairly easy to lower his current toughness and then give him feel no pain to make him the same, just fluffier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Stalker Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 but nurgle daemon prince also does not have feel no pain. his T and W suggest that FnP is not a must have to be survivable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Malachi Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 True, but it would be more fluffy to have all GUOs having FnP, rather than all but the best one. To be honest though, I'm not really bothered whether he has it or not, since I never actually intend to use him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sons of Horus Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 honestly it is better that he doesn't have it but has a HIGH T value instead. FnP only stops wounds sometimes while high T doesn't even allow the wounds in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyescrossed Posted November 27, 2008 Author Share Posted November 27, 2008 Well, yeah, anything short of Str6 can't wound him. Heavy bolters beware! This also means only the strongest of weaponry can take him out - half wouldn't even be able to wound him. A great thing to take him out would be 3 Land Raider Terminus.

megamat008 Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 FnP would be redundant on him, as most Str 9 and 10 i.e weapons able to wound him reliably are AP1 or 2 and would therefore ignore FnP. It would only be useful against weapons like Missile Launchers, Autocannons, Shuriken Cannons or Assault Cannons which only wound on fives or sixes anyway, so that would not make a big difference. Btw I would take a Slaughterfiend Bloodpack formation to take care of him. 4 of these beasts could get rid of him in a single charge if he had been softened up before by some Obliterator shooting. Oh and 3 LR Terminus would only remove 3 wounds a turn if all of their Lascannons are directed at him, not really effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyescrossed Posted November 27, 2008 Author Share Posted November 27, 2008 What? 15 BS 4 twin-linked lascannons are only gonna cause 3 wounds? I think not! Well, on average they will, but... 15 lascannons have to do something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, on average they will, but... 15 lascannons have to do something. Don't forget about the 4+ invun that would save half the wounds, and not all lascannons on the terminus are twin-linked, so you still need luck to hit with them all. Then again you could take Chronus and put him in a tank (and his brothers Bronus and Dronus who all suspiciously look like him and are all from similar chapters...strange :D ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyescrossed Posted November 29, 2008 Author Share Posted November 29, 2008 It never says in the rules you have to roll the TL ones separately, so we just roll 'em all then reroll up to 3 misses. I did factor the 4++ in as well, so after saves and everything, 3 terminus will cause 3 wounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though thats true, it's still unsporting and if I was the opponent I wold ask you to roll for each type of weapon seperately, just so it's fair and you don't somehow make a non twin-linked las cannon, twin-linked. There also the factor of luck, obviously you can't take it into account but it can be against you :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Err... I don't actually own a Terminus - my friend does, and I let him roll them all together anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyescrossed Posted December 19, 2008 Author Share Posted December 19, 2008 Okay, people, just one question: I`m getting Scabeiathrax for my birthday, so I just wanna know how tall/long/wide is he (for transportation)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
