Rune Priest Ridcully Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 I'm thinking of converting another HQ sorcerer model, I have one in power armour with staff, and another in termi armour with chainfist and force sword, so I'm thinking of what to do on the next one, it will either be a sword or an axe, probably in power armour, I'm thinking a good combination could be to take a power weapon of whichever one I don't have as the forcer weapon, so either force sword and power axe, or vice versa. I'm also curios about what people like to use themselves either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melekharn Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 From a rules perspective, I can say that I prefer the staff. Sure, it hasn't got the penetration of an axe or sword, but the increased strength, combined with the concussive rule, and striking in initiative order suits me just fine. I don't feel the trade off of +1st for cumbersome on the axe is worth the awesome looking daemonic axe, and the rules for the sword are now (imo) redundant.

JamesI Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 For me it depends. If the sorcerer will be with another character, I like one to have an axe the other to have a sword or staff. Otherwise, I generally go sword. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minigun762 Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 I like axes for Terminator Sorcerers, otherwise I'd lean towards the maul. In either case, I like the extra strength to help boost the chance of a wound, and therefore an insta-kill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Furyou Miko Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 You should totally complete the weapons triangle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rune Priest Ridcully Posted November 15, 2012 Author Share Posted November 15, 2012 I have got 2 aspiring sorcerer models with swords, and one with an axe and one with a halbeard so that could count as either a staff or a maul :( Has anyone tried a sorcerer with force weapon and power weapon? the extra attacks and versitality could be good, bit pricey, but not to much so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenith Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Has anyone tried a sorcerer with force weapon and power weapon? the extra attacks and versitality could be good, bit pricey, but not to much so FW+PW gives you no more benefit than FW+BP.

Rune Priest Ridcully Posted November 16, 2012 Author Share Posted November 16, 2012 Though you can choose which one to use right? So if you had a force axe and a power sword, you could choose which to use depending on you opponent. Plus I think a Sorcerer with Axe and Sword would look cool P.

EricBasser Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 With Chaos being new, Daemons having good units, and Bikes being better this addition, I would go with staff. Yeah, it doesn't have ap to go through power armor, the higher str seems more likely to wound Daemon Princes, Greater Daemons, Bikes, and Nurgley things. Add a staff to the biomancy powers and you have a +2 str weapon with the chance to get +D3 Str/T and I/A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
