Son of Corax Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 So, I'm considering doing a deamon army, and mono-nurgle really looks good to me. With epi on the table I really just want super nurglings. But then something occurred to me: Fateweaver allows you to re-roll failed saves, right? Does this extend to feel no pain saves? If so, it extends a standard plague bearer's save from failing 1/3 to failing 1/9 wounds taken. With the 3+ FNP that the tallyman gives them, that goes from 18/81 failed saves to 4/81 failed saves. That means that if a unit of super-bearers is within 6" of Kairos then they need to take 283.5 wounds to kill a 14 blob unit. So the question is, does this work, or am I misinterpreting the rules?

Vassakov Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 I would say no, as FNP isn't a "save" as such. It has a similar function, but is a different mechanism.

Captain Malachi Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Sorry mate, the rule specifically says armour, invulnerable and cover, not FnP, so it's a no go on that one.

djkest Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Yes it's only armor, cover, or invulnerable saves. As a side not, Tzeentch greater demon leading a bunch of nurgle's finest (lol) would seem like a grave fluff violation. ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/160570-is-this-right/#findComment-1884333 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raptor1313 Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Fateweaver says "I DO WHAT I WANT!" That aside, it's expliciting in his rules. It WOULD, however, make for a durable army. I use Fateweaver + Plaguebearers as a tarpit, and then something nasty in CC comes along and deals with what the flypaper caught.
