The_Betrayed_Spacewolf is right, besides GKT don't even have true grit, and storm bolters are assault weapons so they only have 2 base attacks and 3 when charging on their own, 4 with Ragnar.

 

GKPA have only 1 attack, then 2 for charging with Rag for a total of 3, then 2 after that (stormbolter counts as 2nd ccw), if it was without Ragnar it's 2 no matter what.

 

GKTDA have 2 attacks each, then 2 for charging with Rag, or 1 without Rag.

 

The nasty thing is you can give the Brother Captain a holy relic... adding another +1 attack within 2D6"... shudders.

If you use true grit (only Grey Knights get it with Stormbolters) you get no bonus attacks for charging, so take the 2 for ragnar's berzerk charge and after that use the two CCW rule for the 1 bonus.

First of all this rule only applies to GKPA not GKTDA. Second, just like in the SW codex, the word MAY comes right there in the sentence

This means that they may count their storm bolters as bolt pistols in close combat and will therefore be allowed to roll an extra attack dice if they have been equipped with a second pistol or close combat weapon.

 

So they still get the +2 from rag as I stated above, just not for having 2 ccw's because I chose not to... if you wanted 1 less attack then you MAY choose so... :)

GKTDA have 2 attacks each, then 2 for charging with Rag and 1 more for charging with 2ccw's for a total of 5.

 

Could you show me where it is written in the DH codex that GKT's have 2 ccw's ?

 

They have ONE cw, their NFW, and a storm bolter which doesn't count as a ccw as they don't have true grit.

That was my mistake for certain, not sure what I was thinking, but it definitely wasn't correct as you only get the bonus for 2 1-handed weapons, never a 2-handed, it was an oversight and I knew the rule, for some reason when typing the numbers it came out wrong. :no:

Doesn't work on charge. Relic can only be revealed if the bearor hasn't moved. So second round of CC and your good, or if you were charged.

Exactly, there's a reason why it can be revealed during your opponents turn. :no: Just saying it's more attacks to the combat.

Ha ha true enough. Actually have a friend that does something evil that I helped him with. Can also be used in this case. Ally in a GK squad, equip justicare with relic. Ally in WH inq and give him an inquisitorial mandate (same thing as relic). On top of that he had pedro Kantor as his hq. Thats 3 bonus attacks on a turn >.<.

What's this?? Brothers of the Fang even entertaining the idea of the Inquisition polluting the pack??

 

I shall tell the brew lord of this!! No ale for you!

 

Ragnar will meet the foes of the emperor alongside the Son's of Russ!!

 

(but it's your army i suppose).

I have to say, I am all for helping us Wolves getting one up on our enemies, but I would definitely not accept that ruling on a table.

 

Would you play it then, Wolf89, that if ragnar were with my GH pack, I could rapid fire them, not assault, pass my counter-assault test and get +2 attacks on the counter-charge as I am choosing that I "may" ignore true grit?

 

At some point, I would have to look my opponent in the eye and say "Yeah, this isn't in the spirit of the rules, is it?"

 

Kinda surprised with that answer popping up here in the fang, actually - or is that how everyone else plays it and I'm just being a spoil-sport?????

 

NR :P

Actually in the example you gave I would say it was in the spirit of the rules. After all theyve had a full turn of moving and shooting to make sure they could pull off that assault... if they choose to do so theyve also had a full turn to get out of the way instead. Either way... it works in my book.

 

As for Grey Knights.... they really are one of the few imperial allies outside the gaurd that Im comfortable taking with space wolves. Really. The reason I dont do it on the table top is simply because I find that they are expensive, but die just as quickly as any other marine. I dont want to make my list an pricier than it is.

 

For a mental exeircise though its not half bad.

Someone's forgetting their history... the old wolf himself led packs of the grey knights on Armageddon, to devastating effect. The grey knights are all right, it's the inquisitors who need to piss off... and the grey knights in question need to understand that they're in the retinue of a Son of Russ, not the other way around.

The Old Wolf never led the GK on Armageddon. That had been Brother Captain Aurellian, blessed be his name. The Great Wolf only invited the GK to join the Fun on Armageddon.
