Moress Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 Hey all, I have a converted Warsmith that I like to use for casual games, thing is though, he has a Servo Arm on him, but he doesn't ahve any rules for it in the current codex. It would act just like it would in the loyalist codex, a single powerfist attack at Init 1, but how much would you think it should be priced at and still be fair for friendly games with my gaming group. I was thinking 15points since it's only a single attack, but what do you guys feel is fair? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razrhaghul Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 well the old ones were like 30 points, but they had a repair rule as well. so whatever a powerfist costs...then add like 5~10 points. i've often pictured using a daemon weapon rule in modern incarnation, in case the machine spirit rebelled against it's master.

Moress Posted May 16, 2009 Author Share Posted May 16, 2009 I figured 15 points because I wasn't factoring in the repair rule. From what I understand it's actually a special rule that grants the techmarine/MotF his repair rule, "Blessing of the Omnisah," so I'm only paying for the attack granted from the servo arm.

Rahveel Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 what did it cost in the old codex? that would probably be a fair price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drudge Dreadnought Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 15 points sounds a little low to me. Yes its only 1 attack, but it gives him the ability to kill any target and ID otherICs. This is extremely powerful. I would happily pay 30 points for such an upgrade and still call it really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corpse. Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 Its rare a chaos lord would go repair a vehicle, so I'd say the cost of 25 pts would be fair. Since you cant repair things with it, and would rarely do so. Though, I would rather you take a powerfist instead to represent a fist-lord using the mark of khorne to represent the extra attack of the servo arm. (Legally) Since the trend of adding 3.5 codex material to the current codex has pretty much died out a while back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trolly Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 hi, to make it playable i think 20 points is enough considering low cost of many csm compared to loyalist that if repair rule gonna use but if just as powerfist 10 point is more than enough cheers, :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuNCHBiZZLe Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 30 is more than fair seeing as how back in the day every IW player payed that much and was happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Pugno Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 as already said - why not do it legally with a Mark of khorne? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the jeske Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 because a khorn lord with Demon weapon sucks rules wise and Khârn is a bit better , even if he is slower [but then again you can put him in a LR rush build where it isnt so important].
