Adir Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 B&C is doing an Arena of Death to recognize current staffers: http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/index.p...198626&st=0 I wanted to encourage our inquisition mods to run a Grey Knight Grand Master. The points limit is 145 which puts the GKGM in just at the line! With a str 6 force weapon at I5 he could very well take out the other ICs in the first round. And with the Aegis armor giving him a built in psychic hood, he has a good chance of defeating any psychic shenanigans. Kurgan is already fielding a WH inquisitor. Will any of our mods jump on board with a GKGM? I think he really does have an excellent chance surviving the battledome!

Justicar Valius Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 No.6! I know you have GKT models! Get one out and make him look awseome enough for a GM now! You must fight for the ordos inquisition (and more importantly the GK) forum! INP could enter in another WH Inq lord or a cannoness to represent the WH part of the ordos inquisition.

Inquisitor Fox Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 My GK Termie models that would work for a GM all have a psycannon attached to them. I considered my WH Inquisitor, but decided this was a perfect excuse to work on a model idea that I've had kicking in my brain for a while... Palatine Kristina of the Order of the Sacred Rose :D Counts-as Canoness in game terms, but fluffwise she isn't that big. I'm picking up the last bits to make the conversion today (basing her off a St Celestine body) and should have her hopefully painted up this weekend. I considered attaching one of the new Blood Angels wrist mounted infernus pistols, but since I don't have the bit I'll just go with a holstered pistol in addition to her Nemesis Force Weapon *grins* I'm tinkering with her wargear to get her under the 145 points limit.. may have to drop the inferno pistol (another reason to have it holstered). Thankfully the jump pack just wont do anything for the Arena so I don't have to worry about having one on the final model :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/199882-arena-of-death-demonhunters-entry/#findComment-2380717 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justicar Valius Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 How many GKT with psycannons do you have? I'm assuming just 1 but you say models and for a squad you need at least one with a stormbolter to be a legal squad Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/199882-arena-of-death-demonhunters-entry/#findComment-2380727 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inquisitor Fox Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 I've got a converted BC Stern model with Daemonhammer and Psycannon, then a GK Termie BC with Psycannon, one regular Termie w/ Psycannon, 3 Termies, then 1 Termie w/ Incinerator. But I'm still working up on my Adepta Sororitas Heroine :lol: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/199882-arena-of-death-demonhunters-entry/#findComment-2380735 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adir Posted April 28, 2010 Author Share Posted April 28, 2010 And the Grand Master can be something as simple as a GKT on a fancy base!

Inquisitor Fox Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 It's a tough call between that Nemesis Force Weapon versus having two combat rounds of a 2+ invulnerable save with a master crafted str 5 power weapon, then having it drop to a 2+/4+ after that should there be a round 3.. :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/199882-arena-of-death-demonhunters-entry/#findComment-2380814 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adir Posted April 28, 2010 Author Share Posted April 28, 2010 Good point... I am thinking the sororitas may just come out on top in that fight!

Inquisitor Fox Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 I was also considering the Mantle of Ophelia negating one "Instant-death" shot.. which should cover a Force Weapon at least once. Seems like a pretty powerful little combination there even against tooled up Space Marine Captains!

Don't Sisters automatically ignore force weapons insta-gib effect (and also get a 5+ vs psychic stuff)? The MoO seems crucial as a relic blade or NFW will take her out in one shot.

Don't Sisters automatically ignore force weapons insta-gib effect (and also get a 5+ vs psychic stuff)? The MoO seems crucial as a relic blade or NFW will take her out in one shot. That's correct. She would be immune to force weapons, be able to shrug off one insta-gib from a relic blade, powerfist, plasma pistol, etc, bear a 2+/4+ armor save all the time, with 2 rounds of (close combat would be the instruction) 2+ invuln, then have her 3A at S5, one reroll of a missed to hit. Then I can give her a Book of St Lucius just in case, as well as a token bolt pistol.. though I'm tempted to drop the book and give her a stormbolter, and model it with one of the Death Watch pewter bolters and say it's custom ammo... ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/199882-arena-of-death-demonhunters-entry/#findComment-2380838 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Counts as GM here we come!Updates to come as I get this entered.... Yes! You will elect the ordos inquisition forum as your forum yes? You too INP. I will put that banner in my sig if either of you win ;) It should say: "Nobody expected the Inquisition!" on it. Yes I can see a GM doing very well... Instagibbing Kurgans Inquisitor Lord, force weaponing the big boys and a BS5 Storm bolter to boot.

Gibious Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 So no Stern getting play? Up to 3 re-rolls where you see fit could prove fun.

number6 Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 Frankly, the 140-ish point Canoness is, for my money and for that points cost, the single best model in the game, bar none. But I gots to send in the GM ... if only by popular request. (And of course it will be for the OI forum. :) ) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/199882-arena-of-death-demonhunters-entry/#findComment-2380896 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justicar Valius Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 Well if INP sends in the uber cannoness and #6 sends in the GM I'd say all the ordos inquisition guys would have a fair chance of a banner ending up in our sigs. Also INP, like the comment on old codicies in the sign up thread, silly dark angels moaning :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/199882-arena-of-death-demonhunters-entry/#findComment-2380938 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inquisitor Fox Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 All in good fun, of course :D Personally I think they should just put out an official errata document bringing just the wargear into parity. They did years ago that sort of thing in White Dwarfs and online at least for Warhammer Fantasy, and I never saw a problem with it. I think it's a better approach than letting books languish for a decade until you get around to fixing a problem, though I can see the point of "what about the consumer without the internet." The Chamber Militants will attempt to ride again and show the Space Marines who's really in charge of the Imperium ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/199882-arena-of-death-demonhunters-entry/#findComment-2380950 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inquisitor Fox Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 My conversion is assembled.. she looks rather nice IMO :P I shall prime tomorrow while at work then get her painted hopefully this weekend. That's the goal anyway! EDIT: I also realized that unfortunately I can't give her a Blessed Weapon and a Storm Bolter as the older codex two handed weapon thing prohibits it. Sooo... dispite the fact it is modeled as a Death Watch Bolter, looks like she'll just have a token Bolt Pistol. Least that frees up points for a Book of St Lucius and Frag Grenades ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/199882-arena-of-death-demonhunters-entry/#findComment-2381441 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gentlemanloser Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 Good Luck! Hopefully no one from the Daemon Board see this, and decides to enter the Skulltaker! lol! ;) *chop* *chop* (Unless the 0-1 S8/ID attack rules him out, but then wouldn't it also rule out and Powerfist/Thunderhammer wearing marine?)
