Prot Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 I thought we could start a 'fun' thread on what JoTWW has killed... a running tally of sorts. Not just for Njal, but for any aspiring Rune Priest. I'm starting to think the el-cheapo Rune Priest is the way to go. I gave him Living Lightning and JoTWW. Basically as a cheap HQ I didn't really care if he died easily or not. I made a tactical error by putting him with a squad in a Razorback. This was by design, but I forgot there are -no- firing spots in a Razorback! D'oh!!! So keeping him cheap I thought what the heck.... So I'm playing Orks (again) and I've managed to get stuck in pretty deep in Orks.... tons of them are converging and my lines are being held by some remaining, ice hard, Grey Hunters. Along comes yet another green horde of Orks lead by none other than..... Ghaz! Here we go, my Rune Priest gets out, lays down the 24" line.... and wham! Ghaz rolls a 6 and keels over in mind-numbing agony! Boo-yah! I did feel badly for my opponent... no wait, that was glee, not remorse! Yea, it was fun. Feel free to add your kills to the list!

CainTheHunter Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Possibly stupid question, but can RP use psychic powers in a transport? I'm used to field psykers, bu I've played 13th company list and never paid attention to this part of rules.

Which counts as being inside a vehicle. Land raiders and razorbacks, no!

Prot Posted December 15, 2009 Author Share Posted December 15, 2009 This is off topic a bit, but first you have to look at the type of psychic attack it is. If it's a shooting attack, it follows all the regular shooting rules unless specified otherwise.

Ignatius Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 you said you can't fire out of a vehicle because he counts as being in the vehicle? what do you think fire-points are for? sorry if i sound arrogant.thanks antique_nova Please re-read the post old chap, I used the Rhino fire point as an example of when you may fire from a vehicle as you can draw line of sight, razorbacks and land raiders have no fire points so you may not fire from them! If you fire from a fire point you still count as being in the vehicle. Maybe my post was badly worded.

Schertenleib Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Back on topic: So far I've had to play only 500 pt games. (I work with a Tau player and we get in a short game at lunch) My Rune Priest has made a habit of sniping any Broadside that dares to take the field against him.

JamesI Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 A winged Hive Tyrant isn't concidered Jump Infantry? Wings only make you move as jump infantry, they don't change your type. Its still a monsterous creature, and JOTWW can affect MCs.

Typical Cricket Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Duh-nuh.... duh-nuh.... Two Bikers (one of them a Sergeant) fell to my Fromagesque Friend's Wolfwing army yesterday. Well actually, all of my bikers fell, but only two of them to JOWW.

Howling Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Hmm....what did my JoWW kill lately.... In an apocalypse game where I used 5 Runepriests (Yeah...nasty...I know..) they killed about 1000 points of deamons within the first round...including a greater daemon of slaanesh..... last game my joWW killed about 8 necron warriors.... Used to snipe a imperial general and some of his guys... But besides that nothing too important, I hardly used JoWW until now so yeah...

You didn't! hahahaha nice! That's hilarious. Ghaz probably never saw a huge crack in the earth coming his way before, and didn't know what to do. Great power for killing fexes, not looking forward to that, even the ones in the new dex.

If only these existed in the UK, gaming would be alot more interesting :( I do think Jaws is an OTT power. definately reaffirms my beleif in the codex creep Gc08 And I think your crazy ;). Killing an HQ on a 6 is hardly game breaking... being unable to target assault marines, winged chaos lords, and tau commanders is very limiting. Or do you have an issue with Wraithgaurd? Because frankly thats 10 models who get to do that with every shot they make.

Because frankly thats 10 models who get to do that with every shot they make. Winged Chaos Lords are still Infantry, they only move as jump infantry. Jump Pack chaos lords are jump infantry (normally a small difference, but important with JoTWW and the fact that winged lords can ride in transports.)

Prot Posted December 17, 2009 Author Share Posted December 17, 2009 Ah this is just the typical response when something new comes out and people come up with all sorts of 'this is the end of 40K' scenarios..... Oddly enough the "Chaos Spawn" psyker power has been around forever... which not only can flip a guy in close combat, but it turns him into a model for Chaos to use. Mind War for Eldar has been out there forever.... I could go on... but there is zero point to it. This is supposed to be a fun thread.... What isn't in this thread are those games where JOTWW will do nothing. It's a great power, but the funny thing is, I like the Wolf Priest just as much. Ghaz was a great kill for me. I had to share it. My rune priest literally did nothing after that but kill a few cheap orks after that... I think he was so impressed with himself for bagging Ghaz..... he lost his concentration. ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/187317-what-did-jaws-kill-today/#findComment-2218265 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormshrug Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Three Grey Knight Terminators and one Inquisitorial Henchman (a Heirophant, I think?). It also illegally killed a Flying Nun of Doom (Cannoness with Jump Pack, Eviscerator, and that ungodly 2+ Invul Save whenever she wants it), but none of us realized until afterwards that Jump Infantry is its own unit category, and not a subcategory of Infantry (Jump Infantry should really have a different name to make this clearer). It also didn't help that my opponent forgot to roll his saves vs psychic effects, but I'm not taking the blame for that one. The Jump Infantry thing was totally my fault, though. On an unrelated note, does anybody know if models locked in combat are affected by JotWW? I assume that you can't try to hit them, but if they *happen* to be in its path after it hits something else ... well, the rules are a bit unclear. -Stormshrug Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/187317-what-did-jaws-kill-today/#findComment-2218653 Share on other sites More sharing options...
greatcrusade08 Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 And I think your crazy :). Thats ok, i KNOW im crazy, so its all good my hirsuit friend. I dont think its a gme breaker every time out, but it has the potential to be. I do think its a little OTT when compared to C;SM powers.. sure its only a 1 in 6 chance of killing a SM IC but the fact it can kill fex's, necrons, ork nobs and ork ICs quite easily and the fact it bypasses eternal warrior. When all you have to do is roll one die to see if Gahzkull pegs it, im a little concerned is all.
