So it has come to pass.

Q: Does a Nemesis Dreadknight armed with a Nemesis greatsword have

4 Attacks at Strength 10 that, because of the Nemesis greatsword, can

re-roll To Hit, To Wound and Armour Penetration rolls?(p54)

A: Yes.

 

So a DK with a greatsword has 4 attacks basic?

Yes, as neither the Doomfist nor the Greatsword are Specialist weapons; you get 3 base attacks + an extra attack for wielding two close combat weapons.

cool, used to play that a DK with sword had 3 attacks basic ;)

I don't understand. I know the fact says so, but how come a dreadknight attack at strengh 10 with the swords? Don't you have to choose which weapon to use when you have 2 different ones? (doomfist at str 10 or greatsword with rerolls?)

[nurglez]

Probably due to the wording on the greatsword. It doesn't say you have to use it, just that a DK with it can reroll. Thus you use your fist to go to str 10 and use the sword for the rerolls (RAI sorta falls apart here but don't worry :( ).

Not to mention the fact that the FAQ now makes it so. <3

ADDENDUM: This is now the second time that text has been printed in this thread. :) <3

To be fair, stephane4985 was asking why, according to rules, a DK with a great sword attacks with str 10. They had already stated they knew the answer :lol:

On a different note - is anyone planning on using Draigo without the paladins. He is still decent in cc - albeit he will have problems with 2+saves. Is a libby, generic GM or inquisitor the best choices now? I want to use my Draigo ...

Here's something I've been pondering the whole morning at work.. :)

 

Let's say that you equip a Dreadknight with the Greatsword and include a Personal Teleporter, making the NDK a jump monstrous creature.

 

Then, if you use the jump capability to charge into assault, you gain a Hammer of Wrath attack at I10, right? At which strenght would you say that the Wrath attack is made? The rulebook states that it is made with the unmodified strenght of the model. So is it S6 straight from the NDKs stats or S10?

[Aandiin]

the hammer of wrath attack would be at s6 as the unmodified strenght of the model is 6.

 

unless they faq it to be something completely different :)

[RedemptionNL]

And Dreadknights always get a Hammer of Wrath hit if they charge, as Monstrous Creatures don't need jump packs for that.

[ValourousHeart]

What exactly is a jump MC.

BRB under FMC says that gliding FMC are treated as jump MC, but doesn't define them.

Similarly under MC it does not define a jump MC.

 

Deamon princes w/o wings are just MC and w/ wings are FMC.

Which I think is very similar to a NDK, MC w/o PT and jump MC w/ PT.

(No I don't think NDK should fly... It just seems they didn't define what a jump MC is)

 

Or maybe I just missed it in the BRB!

Where in the BRB are jump MC actually defined?

[RedemptionNL]

'Jump' units are explained on page 47. Basically, Jump is now a sub-type of other unit types, so you can have Jump Infantry, Jump Monstrous Creatures, Jump Beasts, Jump Cavalry, Jump Walkers, etc.

And Dreadknights always get a Hammer of Wrath hit if they charge, as Monstrous Creatures don't need jump packs for that.

Good point, should have read the MC entry more thoroughly. Thanks for the answers though!
