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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
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 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
