biglou666 Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Hi guys, i just had a thought, how about attaching a jump packing priest to mephiston? The SP is an IC, so he can do this, and aswell as buffing mephiston i three different ways, (+1 str, +1 I, FNP) he acts as a handy extra wound. Sounds good, no? ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/222087-mephiston-with-a-priest/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesI Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 ICs can not be added to units that are always 1 model (such as Mephiston) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/222087-mephiston-with-a-priest/#findComment-2654056 Share on other sites More sharing options...
biglou666 Posted February 10, 2011 Author Share Posted February 10, 2011 What page is this in the rules please?! I've missed this out lol ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/222087-mephiston-with-a-priest/#findComment-2654058 Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesI Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Its in the IC rules. I can't recall the page number. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/222087-mephiston-with-a-priest/#findComment-2654059 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volchek Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 What JamesI says is true. Sadly Mephiston cannot join or be joined by a unit. However... The Blood Chalice of the Sanguinary Novitiate in an Honor Guard or a Sanguinary Priest has a 6" range and affects all friendly models within 6" of the novitiate/priest. If you run an Honor Guard squad alongside or directly behind Mephiston or if you make sure a novitiate/priest is within 6" of Mephiston when he finishes his charge move during the assault phase, he will get the benefit of Furious Charge and Feel No Pain.

Grizzly Adams Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 they speak the truth, one of my buddies really burst my bubble and shattered my dream of mephy + 9 PW'ed JP'ed priests in a stormraven when he reminded me of this rule :devil: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/222087-mephiston-with-a-priest/#findComment-2654083 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deus_Sanguinius Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 If Mephiston would be an IC too you could add the Priest to him to built a multi IC unit. Page 48 BRB.

vahouth Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Mephiston cannot be joined by other units, but he will gladly be surrounded by any squad containing a priest to also give him a nice cover save. :devil: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/222087-mephiston-with-a-priest/#findComment-2654116 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deus_Sanguinius Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Yes. And maybe your opponent cannot even shoot him at all because Mephi is perfectly hide behind other fellows to block TLOS. Big M ist such a nasty little man. :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/222087-mephiston-with-a-priest/#findComment-2654173 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Yorei Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 preist cannot join mephy but keep him within 6 inches and meph will still benefit from abilities they speak the truth, one of my buddies really burst my bubble and shattered my dream of mephy + 9 PW'ed JP'ed priests in a stormraven when he reminded me of this rule ;) your idea wouldnt work anyway. the special bonuses do not stack.

Leonaides Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 tho fnp is of little use defending against the usual sort of weapons used to kill meph... Melta/plasma/pw/pf etc all ignore fnp and it tends to be them more than normal weapons that hurt him most...

Read again, it's 9 priests with power weapons and jump packs. The bonuses don't stack, but it'll take a while to get rid of the FnP on Meph.

Melta/plasma/pw/pf etc all ignore fnp and it tends to be them more than normal weapons that hurt him most... I may be missing something, but how would plasma bypass FNP on Mephiston? Its not double his toughness and he still gets an armor save.

Its not double his toughness and he still gets an armor save. FNP is negated by AP 1 and 2, no matter the armour save the model actually has.

IS this a case of I said "THIS", but you said "THIS" just you did this with your hands?

I am aware that i wouldn't get 9 fnp rolls or anything like that Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/222087-mephiston-with-a-priest/#findComment-2654478 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deus_Sanguinius Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 But unfortunately, besides Meph is no IC, there is no space for 9 JPs in the Stormraven.
