Daemon hunter silly questions

Recommended Posts

I haven't played warhammer in a very long time and am very rusty on the amount of attacks I'm supposed to get in 5th edition.

 

if I'm charging with a unit of Grey knight marines( power armor) 10 guys +justicar and 2 psycannons

 

the ones with the Nemesis force weapons get 2 total attacks in combat?

and the ones with the pyscannons get only 1+ charge bonus in combat?

and the justicar gets 3 total attacks?

 

also how many attacks should I expect on the charge from grey knight terminators with stormshields and thunder hammers?

as far as I can tell it's only 2 attacks+ charge bonus.

 

also if I have a GK terminator with a incinerator and a nemesis force weapon he only gets 2 attacks+charge bonus?

just remember, that the Knights have 2 attacks on the charge (justicar with 3), but they persist to have 2 attacks (3 on justicar) in the rest of the combat. Said in another manner, it doesn't matter wether a unit of GK charge or not, they still get the same amount of attacks thanks to true grit (which does not work when you charge).

 

The Psycannon guy would still get the charge bonus, however, in the following rounds he has only 1 attack since he traded his equipment for the cannon.

 

The Terminators does not benifit from neither true grit nor 2 weapons rules. They simply have 2 attacks on their profiles. Thus they get 3 on the charge (regardless of equipment) and otherwise 2.

however they do get teh bonus if they have storm shields as they are a one handed weapon in our codex so therefore they get the additional attack from having the additional close combat weapon

 

you also need to remember that when you get psycannons or incinerators they also loose the strength bonus and are back to the standard S4

Really? You're really trying to put forth these lies again? Even iff we accept that the shield is marked as a 'one handed weapon' there is still the case that it is not a simple weapon and can't be used to gain the two weapon bonus, and in this case you won't get the save improvement unless you forgo the attack enhancement of the nemisis weapon. Far easier to read the foot notes and awknowledge precident and call it war gear that takes a hand slot.

 

Fortunatly early next year this whole dirty business should neatly go away.

correction to previous post, we do not get the aditional attack for the TH SS combo as i have neglected a rule, which is that for a unit that is using a thunder hammer, they need to have a second thunder hammer in order to get the bonus attack... dissreguard my former post :lol:

 

oh.. someone beat me, did you missquote? you highlighted teh strength 4 bit but sound like you are takhing about the storm shield bit. cos if im wrong about the S4 bit that would be SWEET!!!
