Some thing came up in our group Need proper help

[Whitefireinferno]

Uh so yeah we came up with this idea but have no real idea if it would work so I will ask you lot.

 

Say we had something like 3-5 Inquisitors (or things with Sanctuary) and made a Triangle or Pentagon around some Daemons so all their no Daemon area's linked up would the Daemons be able to do anything about it? since Sanctuary says it lasts until the Inq's do something else would that end up just being a Daemon containment feild?

 

Oh and what would happen if it was small enough that the daemons could not be 3" away from any of the Inq's would they just Die or what?

 

Sorry if this has been asked before my search-fu is mighty weak, And I am aware of how hard this would be to pull off but we have a game comming up 3 a side with a =I= army with 1 Inq lord and 3 Elite Inqs and I was thinking about feilding one or 2 aswell just for ^_^ and giggles to see if we can make a pinball game with some daemons :yes:.

 

So yeah any help on the matter?

 

Cheers WFI

Wow, that's a really interesting idea. It would technically be viable with enough Inquisitors, but to surround a force or even a decent sized squad of daemons you'd need a lot more than 5 Inquisitors.

 

Edit: Actually, can you use Sanctuary in a transport? I can never remember which psyker powers can be. If that's the case, then the 3" would be measured from the hull, which would give you a much larger footprint. Overlap, say 1" between two, and you've got an effective barrier. I don't know the actual length of Chimeras and Rhino's but LR's are just shy of 7 inches, so with three of those as transports that's almost a 30" line right there. Positioned correctly it's possible.

 

Edit 2: Actually now that I think even harder, I think it would be hilarious to see a group of inquisitors herding together a large force of Daemons then them all popping Sanctuary at the same time, essentially trapping them. That would make sweeping them up with some Incinerators quite easy.

Sanctuary can be used in a vehicles, in which case it measures from the vehicles hull. Sanctuary can be abused to game-breaking levels against Daemon armies.

There would be little they could do.

 

They couldn't move throught them, or shoot thorugh them.

 

The *only* thing they could do is to use one of the 2 shooting attacks that don't require LoS. Neither are effective to Land Raiders.

 

What I would do is pack up my minis and find someone else to play. YMMV.

The rules don't cover that situation. You'd have to agree something with your opponent. I'd still pick up my Daemon Minis and find a more interesting game to play.

Sad to say, considering how underwhelming the DH codex is without inducted IG to beef them up, but Sanctuary really just shouldn't be employed very often. It can become extremely unsporting and unfun for the daemons player. It's very close to an "AutoWin" button for the DH, especially if you've one tucked away in a land raider. There is virtually nothing any daemon can do about such a combo unless the Inquisitor manages to whiff his psyker check.

 

Don't do what you're suggesting. Like the others have said, if I played daemons and this shenanigan was attempted, I'd just pick up and find someone else who was interested in playing a game and not just abusing my time.

DH is already a very challenging opponent to chaos and daemons, and Sanctuary is an auto-win, even without sanctuary daemon players in my gaming group already avoid my DH-WH army...so good luck to find a daemon player who want to play that kinda list, anyways it's an interesting idea... :tu:

 

If I'm not mistaken, Elite Inq is only available as 1, so 1 Inquisitor Lord, 1 Inquisitor and 1 GKGM to a max of 3 sanctuary if you really wanna pull this trick.

[Inquisitor Fox]

The HQ Inquisitor is 0-1, the Elites slot is unlimited.. so in actuality, outside of Apocalypse you could get 7 Inquisitors in some Planetfall missions, but for most games the maximum number of Inquisitors with Sanctuary per army would be 4. You could get a GK Hero with Sanctuary as well for 5 psykers with the bubble, but IMO that'd be a waste of a GK Hero's power, as well as a very not fun game. I wouldn't even want to field that list against anything, let alone intentionally seek out daemon players just to add a win to the tally sheet (that I don't keep track of anyway). I want to play an actual game, not have a dice-o-auto-win or something.
