Okidus Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Can an Epist use both in the same turn? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/192062-vortex-of-doom-and-gate/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asrech Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 If he is in Terminator armour yes. The Vortex is a (heavy 1) meaning that he has to stand still. If he teleports he counts as moving ( per the deep strike rules ). But if he is in terminator armour he gains relentles (sp?) and as such counts as stationary when shooting. In the movement phase he teleports, and in the shooting phase he casts the vortex. It's a fun combo, as long as you don't mind the dubble scatter ( 1st when teleporting, 2nd when doooooooming :) ) Cheers!

kiwitexansfan Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 I use this combo, Epistolary in TDA with Doom and Gate. The last time I used this combo my Librarian gate'd shot doom and vaporised my TDA Captain on the scatter. Pure awesome.

It should be noted that relentless only makes you count as stationary for the purposes of fireing heavy and rapid fire weapons. Ordance and other attacks with special rules recieves no benifit (nor does pistol or assault, but they dont care about your movement anyway), thus Chapter masters in TDA still must be stationary to use orbital bombardment.

Maligoare Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Good point, Frosty. I hadn't picked up on that one, but it's not often an infantry model gets an Ordnance weapon anyway.
