Morollan Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 well true. what about rending, I know its the to wound or take a wound diffrence but it sounds like its a hair line diffrence that could be played both ways, would make him worth his pts if he didnt make purifiers troops I think Gentlemanloser cleared that one up a few posts back.

DK1 Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 I think crowe and grand strategy scout outflank are my new fav attack now Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/248945-herald-of-titan/page/2/#findComment-3016684 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MayorDaley Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 I called the rules lawyers at GW, and they said that Crowe's cleansing flame does not rend; because it is a psychic attack, not a close combat attack.

DK1 Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Even tho the faq says its a cc attack, well back to the drawing board. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/248945-herald-of-titan/page/2/#findComment-3016694 Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that goes against the FAQ that just put out less that two months ago, interesting. Crowe must just be special that his isn't a close combat attack but everyone else's is.

MayorDaley Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 I've had the rules lawyers flip-flop on all sorts of things, but that's what they told me. The rules lawyer also said, everyone who is interested in this should shoot them a FAQ e-mail. Then it'll actually be looked at.

Darkmagi Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Last I heard phone calls to GW over rules are taken with as much salt as rumors; as you don't talk to the actual people who do FAQs, your basically speaking to a glorified red shirt. Personally i think the rending on crows cleansing flame (the only version who has rending) is not that op as you still have a 2+/4+ 2 wounder with no ability to hitch a ride... still dies to a single las shot.... its not op unless your opponent lets him get to combat.

Given that someone else could call GW now and get a totally different answer I think we have to stick with what they decide to publish, and that specifically states that CF is a cc attack.

DK1 Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 I would just ask my opponent how he sees it, then go from there. however it would be a nasty hit if u just cf them and pick to reroll svs, then sweeping advance.

Darkmagi Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Actually if it's a to wound roll then even a unit of purifiers would benefit from it, as grand strat says re-roll all 1's to wound Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/248945-herald-of-titan/page/2/#findComment-3016809 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering the fact that most folks think Crowe is fairly useless aside from unlocking Purifiers as troops, I don't think boosting his Cleansing Flame hurts too much. Not being an IC is still a pretty big drawback. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/248945-herald-of-titan/page/2/#findComment-3017074 Share on other sites More sharing options...
