daboarder Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 OK. Don't have the new book yet, but I need a question answered about this Power Spear thing. I am doing a Greek theme, so I am using a lot of Spears instead of swords/axes/mauls etc. Power Spears were not listed as anything separate in 5th BrB OR the Codex. Are Power Spears now listed as a specific weapon with different stats than, say swords? Also, since the FAQ says all references to Power Swords in Codex should be changed to be simply Power Weapons - that should mean I can give a Sang Priest in TDA a Power Spear - right. Yes to both, but watch out, spears are great for BA on the charge, their pretty average the rest of the time and wont go through power armour.

Freman Bloodglaive Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 If you can buy a Librarian terminator armour and a storm shield then a force axe is probably a good option. Pity there isn't a force fist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plague Angel Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Double strength AND Instant Death is a bit overkill, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zynk Kaladin Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 So, try it with something else like Honor Guard or Death Company Hmm, both are indeed viable for Dante et Angeli Lanceae. Excellent... now to find more wing bits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mezkh Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 As I posted in the other spear thread, the Eldar character in their basic footslogger unit has a spear modeled. Why couldn't the BA character take a spear? :D Power weapon is Power weapon is Power weapon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jorre Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 I have an Vanguard squad modeled with a couple spears in it. I used to use them either as counts as Lightning claws or power fists depending on what I felt like. It was great for model flexibility, I didnt need multiple models or magnets to change my lists up! Although I do kinda like the new spear rules! Especially if you can get a priest near by for the extra str I Really do need to finish painting these guys, I built them about 8 months ago!
