Canis Majoris Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Now i know this must have been discused on here before infact i'm sure i saw it ages ago but can't find it now so i'll ask the question again... And the question is this... Is the +1 str for frost weps cumulative? So if i gave a WL on a thunderwolf 2 frost axes would he be str 7? Also i've been wondering what wep loadouts you guys would give him...i've seen alot of diferent views on this. And i've come up with an idea of my own. would you sacrifice the 3++ save from the stormshield and settle for the 4++ on the belt of russ in order to have the option of killing troops or vehicles? imagine getting upto 15 ish attacks from one combat then charging into a tank with 15 or more str 10 hits. Is this worth the survivability trade off from losing the stormshield? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/251673-frost-weps/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyeslikethunder Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 no its not you only get the bonus once Q. Does a model armed with two frost blades/axes get+2 to their Strength? (p57) A. No .

Forté Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 15 S10 attacks would be great but I don't see how. My lord will be running in TDA with two different weapons for different opponents. Thing is, he'll be easier to hide than one on a T wolf so I'd be more tempted with the SS/ FW or WC load with melta bombs for back up.

Forté Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Ok, but hitting last so will potentially have been dropped by the time he gets to swing. I'm sure a vehicle wouldn't give him that much either Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/251673-frost-weps/#findComment-3051676 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canis Majoris Posted May 1, 2012 Author Share Posted May 1, 2012 Against troops you'd use the frost wep so you dont hit at I1. Then if you are in range of a vehicle your ini dont matter you'd use the thunder hammer with your bonus attacks. only thing you'd be sacrificing is the 3+ invun.

Or keep the 3++ and use the cheap 8+2D6 melta bomb. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/251673-frost-weps/#findComment-3051840 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canis Majoris Posted May 2, 2012 Author Share Posted May 2, 2012 true you could do that but 1 8+2d6 chance with 1 roll on the dmg table against 15 or more attacks at str 10+1d6 with several rolls on the dmg table is much better odds in my opinion ;) How many times have you smashed the pen roll with a melta or a las shot and then rolled a 1 or a 2 on the dmg table...but if you get to roll 5 or 10 rolls on the table...you are almost definatly gonna get a 5 or 6 unless your THAT unlucky :D the Only time i've found melta bombs a reliable way of taking out a tank is when you have an entire squad with them, eg scouts wandering on the back and hunting down those anoying tanks :D last time for me it was a shooty marine army that stayed back and waited for me to get to them...my scout squads promptly destroyed both his land raiders in turn 2 :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/251673-frost-weps/#findComment-3052079 Share on other sites More sharing options...
