Meatcaber Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 Hello, My main opponent has used this in our last couple of games and has been treating it as a Power Maul that gives the person wielding it a 2++ save in CC. This doesn't seem at all fair to me but he is adamant that's how it works. My question is, in game turns what is it? And how does it work? Thanks in advance!

Gentlemanloser Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 It's not a Power Maul. It's an Unusual Force Weapon. Which also gives a 2++ save for any wound taken in CC.

DarkGuard Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 And is therefore AP: 3 with no extra benefits. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/265641-nemesis-warding-stave/#findComment-3236446 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meatcaber Posted November 12, 2012 Author Share Posted November 12, 2012 Thank you both for the quick response! No extra benefits? Is it essentially just a Force Sword then? So can be combined with another CC weapon for an extra attack and so on?

Fibonacci Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Thank you both for the quick response! No extra benefits? Is it essentially just a Force Sword then? So can be combined with another CC weapon for an extra attack and so on? From the FAQ: “Unless otherwise stated, all Nemesis weapons are Unusual Force Weapons, as detailed in the Warhammer 40,000 rulebook.” And the only one that is otherwise stated is the Nemesis Daemon Hammer which also has the Specialist Weapon rule. The warding staff does not. So it can be combined with another CCW for an additional attack as long as that additional weapon is not a Specialist Weapon either. I'm not all that familiar with the GK codex, but is it even possible to have the warding staff plus another CCW?

Jehoel Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 I can not find any unit that can have a Warding Staff that can have a second ccw other than the Techmarine. But I don't play GK, so I'm not sure. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/265641-nemesis-warding-stave/#findComment-3236881 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffersonian000 Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Not even a GK Techmarine can have a NF Staff and another CCW. There are currently no GK units that may have both a Staff and another CCW, sorry to say.
