Prot Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 I've been trying a few lists out and I'm trying to figure out how to take a Power Maul on a non-IC. For instance, I'd like to take it on an Aspiring Champion CSM, or even a Chosen Aspiring Champion but I can't figure out what I'm missing here. I know it MUST be possible to do this because I have the GW created, Power Maul wielding Chosen Aspiring champion. I do own the codex but if someone would be kind enough to tell me where I can find the option to equip it on A.C's. I'd really appreciate it.

Killax Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 "Power Weapon" covers swords, axes and mauls. And spoons, do not forget the spoons. Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prot Posted October 22, 2012 Author Share Posted October 22, 2012 "Power Weapon" covers swords, axes and mauls. I mean ruleswise there is an actual entry for "Power Maul". (Not the same as power weapons) I could be missing it, but it appears the only model that can take it is a Dark Apostle? I'd love to put it on other models.

For the Dark Apostle, they are saying that he has a specific type of power weapon, in this case the power maul. There is no option to choose something else. This is different from Terminators who have a power weapon and you are able to select what type (sword, maul or axe). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prot, it's in the 6th edition rule book on page 61. A power maul is a type of power weapon which is decided by modelling it a certain way (or asking opponent permission to count as) The aspiring champion can take power weapons which means you can decide if it is a power maul, power axe, power lance, or power sword. Each has it's own unique rules and/or stats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve shields Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 honestly i don't even know what p lances do off the top of my head, but i too wonder why they are never brought up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Juan Juarez Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 honestly i don't even know what p lances do off the top of my head, but i too wonder why they are never brought up. Bonus on the charge of some kind is the positive factor for Lances, I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Furyou Miko Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Lances are +1 S AP 3 on the charge, or +0 S AP 4 at all other times. There are no Force Lances, though - if it's a spear on a model with a force weapon, it's a staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleal Baros Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Power Lances are a bit of a dud option IMO. I'f they'd been AP2 on the charge, even without the S modifier I think they'd have made for a nice option and would have appeared in a few more lists. As they are they're almost completely ignored.

Haunter! Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 how would one count chain-glaives then? (like a spear with chainblade :P) Could count them as chain axes or even a power axe if they look like they could chew through enough ceramite. Just make sure that they're all counted as the same thing in your list to limit confusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother RedAxe Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 I'm not so certain on the uselessness of the power lance. I have used them a few times to mow down units of nids. As for the maul I wont ever use it since I run Slannesh list only I don't want my units getting bogged down in HtH. I try to move as fast as possible from unit to unit creating a spread of threats making it hard to focus shooting attack against any one unit. I have only tried these on bikes so far, but I want to try them out on raptors next games or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kol Saresk Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 how would one count chain-glaives then? (like a spear with chainblade :P) I think I know where you are trying to go because I want to go there too. Anyway, I'd either make it a power lance or power maul count as. That way, you still strike at your Initiative rather than Initiative one. Might mean the difference between life and death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
