juiced Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Why did GW not make Rules For a shooty prince? If you think about it, you are a champion or lord who has killed enough people and pleased the gods enough to grant you the honor of being a DP, throughout that time you may have loved to melt innocents faces off in close range combat with your melta or even champion who lived behind a Missle Launcher or Auto cannon. When you become a DP why would you not want to have a long range weapon to continue killing as you see fit. Even in the codex there is a picture of Doombreed with a bolter. The only real option i see is WoC but it doesnt specify a Range, or even Template size to use. What do you all think on it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesI Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 I'd love to see more shooty princes. A tzeentch prince can be shooty able to use Bolt of tzeentch and Doombolt/Wind of Chaos every turn, thats about as good as a shooty prince gets.

Rain Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 The daemon prince picture in the Chaos codex is holding a gun, but it's not a legal option. That said, even though it was possible in the last codex with the Kai Gun it was still a waste as demonic stature caused you to become BS3 if I remember correctly, and in any case the dreadaxe allowing you to ignore invulnerable saves was probably the most popular option as it made the DP an amazing character killer. Hell, I remember a case of my old DP killing a GK grandmaster and 5 GK terminators all on his lonesome because of how hilariously overpowered he was as I used the entire 100 points of gifts. You could say that the Daemonhunters became the Daemonhunted :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only real option i see is WoC but it doesnt specify a Range, or even Template size to use. That's actually not Doombreed, but a different Prince named "Dhar'leth". Details, I know. Also, check the rulebook, if you have it. When it says "Template", it means the flamer template. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RapatoR Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Not only DP even sorc is able to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesI Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Not only DP even sorc is able to do it. But a sorceror can't use 2 shooty powers, only a DP can (or Ahriman) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aarhus Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 I miss the Pandemic Staff. Sure the Manreaper was better; but against hordes, it was like having an extra Nurgle's Rot that was fun to use! Mind you, that was when there was Death Guard, and Chaos Legions; instead of everybody hugs and gets along with a Nurgle and Tzeentch DP side by side... Cheers, Lawrence.

Verrix Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 I liked the Kai Gun. Bring the Kai Gun back. Failing that...daemon engines. But that is neither likely or on-topic ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
