LardO'Blood Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Since technically a dread with a DCCW is S12 can I instant death T6 and wound T10 on a 2+? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greatcrusade08 Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Since technically a dread with a DCCW is S12 can I instant death T6 and wound T10 on a 2+? nope its not S12, the rulebook covers DCCW in great detail, the higest S value you can have is 10.

Frosty the Pyro Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Aside from the fact that the rulebook states no stat (other than attacks) can go over 10 (pg 6), the rules for DCCW's (the insert on pg 73) specificly state that they double strength up to a maximum of 10.

Grey Mage Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Yep, anything with T6 is immune to instant death due to high strength values. Its one of the balancing points of the new nid codex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to agree there; for a while, the only thing a force weapon were any good against is a non-Eternal Warrior HQ since pretty much every army that actually fielded multi-wound models other than HQs had Eternal Warrior on everything. I just hope the new Daemon Codex follows suit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanhausen Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Regarding "new Daemon Codex"... I think the current codex if 5th edition so... they're here for a while! Just for the record, if you loose your DCCW, you go from S10 energy weapon to S6 non-energy weapon :P Until I found out, when lost, I kept hitting S6 AND energy xDD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guys in my group are so used to seeing Str10 from the Dreds that it was almost assumed that Sentinels were the same. :devil: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chengar Qordath Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Regarding "new Daemon Codex"... I think the current codex if 5th edition so... they're here for a while! No, it's a 4th edition codex. That still means its not likely to be updated any time terribly soon, since everything I've heard indicates that GW isn't going to touch any of the 4th edition codices until all the 3rd edition ones have been updated.

Tanhausen Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 I thought the last 4th edition codex was Dark Angels. But they are currently a strong codex so... I agree, not any time soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acebaur Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Daemons came out right before the release of 5th ed. Dark Angels came out not too long after Templars did. Back on topic, while your strength can never be higher than 10 a Dread can be effective S11 with the Tank Hunters skill, as it add +1 to armor pen, not strength. Though there are only a couple of codices that allow you to still do this, BT being one of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, as was probably Acebaur's point, not many codices let you give a Dreadnought the Tank Hunter rule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure, but I bet Logan Grimnar can give Tank Hunter to a Dread if he joins it's unit. EDIT: Wait...I'm now unsure as to whether an IC can join a walker. I bet he can't, so this can't happen.

No, an IC cannot join a vehicle unit- NOR can he ever join a unit that always consists of a single model- like say, a Farseer cannot join a Wraithlord.

Isiah Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 For reference the IC rules for joining which units is all on page 48 BRB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
