Mattsama Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Someone told me the other day that Nemisis Force Halberds need to activate to utilize the +2 initiative. I couldn't find this anywhere... Did I get hosed?? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/239763-force-weapon-activation/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chengar Qordath Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Yeah, force halberds give +2 initiative regardless of whether or not they're activated.

The Holy Heretic Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Next time that dude pulls this one on you, just point out to him, how this wouldn't make sense, since force weapons are activated after hits are determined i.e. after initiative is relevant ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/239763-force-weapon-activation/#findComment-2892721 Share on other sites More sharing options...
thade Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 This is cut and dry. NFW are Force Weapons pre the BRB entry, plus Daemonbane, plus their individual powers. Each of these are separate things and function independently from the other abilities. Â The halberds grant +2 to your Initiative, whether you use them to inflict I.D. or not. Â EDIT: I haven't yet finished my coffee. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/239763-force-weapon-activation/#findComment-2892890 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Tyler Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 The halberds grant +6 to your Initiative, whether you use them to inflict I.D. or not. +6 Initiative? :lol: Â I gots to get me one of those before the zombie apocalypse.

thade Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 but zombies are only I1, and they dont have frag grenades :lol: The first time I ever fielded a GK squad was for a special kill teams event where we faced off with "zombies"; hordes of I1, WS2, S3 droolers. Old school GK wrecked them pretty hard. WS5 S6, baby.

thade Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 How do those zombie games go? I'd be interesting in running one at my games club PM me if you'd truly like details...or start another thread. :tu: When people run a forum search for "Force Weapon activation" they don't want to find a threat on zombies. <3 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/239763-force-weapon-activation/#findComment-2895357 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattsama Posted October 10, 2011 Author Share Posted October 10, 2011 To finalize this: I confronted the person who told me this. We actually had our wires crossed. He was talking about activating force weapons in the fashion of instant death big stuff, and I thought he meant something else. Oh the heat of the moment, how you make simple things go awry!!

Wulfebane Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 Or he realized he was wrong later and retracted his statement in a bald-faced lie. =P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/239763-force-weapon-activation/#findComment-2896983 Share on other sites More sharing options...
