GlauG Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 A friend pointed out to me that Slow and Purposeful now bestows both the flaws AND benefits of the rule to any squad joined by an IC with the rule. Accordingly, has anyone yet considered ICs in Cataphracti Terminator Armour joining their Heavy Weapon squads, and granting them what is effectively Relentless? An Ork playing friend of mine pointed out that it is now a viable trick for Orks because of Mega Armoured Nobz, so I see no reason why the Emperor's finest shouldn't do the same!

GodEmperorOfMankind Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 You sir are a genius! I just read the rule and it states any unit that has a model with this rule......etc Well I'll certainly be looking at heavy support units containing a centurion now!

Onisuzume Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 I'm pretty sure that Slow&Purposeful isn't supposed to work that way... Can't find a line claiming otherwise, though. Unless "they" refers to the models with the S&P special rule, rather than the unit they joined. So yeah, I say it needs to be FAQ'd.

GodEmperorOfMankind Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 it actually says in the slow and purposeful rule "any unit that has a model with this rule" therefore if your cataphractii wearing centurion joins your heavy support squad, thats what you get Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/269679-slow-and-purposeful-and-cataphracti-ics/#findComment-3285401 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onisuzume Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 True, but asking for an official answer can't hurt, can it? Besides, it wouldn't be the first time they would have overlooked something.

GodEmperorOfMankind Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 well they've just updated the FAQ's and I can't see anything in the BGB update about it. Maybe because the whole unit has slowed down they can take their time with their shots ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/269679-slow-and-purposeful-and-cataphracti-ics/#findComment-3285711 Share on other sites More sharing options...

cptphoenixck Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 This has been the case for some time with more than one army. They've not fixed it yet, personally I think its a loophole, but faq's seem to point to the games designers not having an issue. Also it doesn't give a huge advantage especially if you deploy as well as you can. Further I've always thought that man portable weapons are 'man portable' for a reason and should be allowed to move and fire a measly 6" anyway.

Jim AMM realgenius Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 It is a change from 5th edition, but you get some serious 6th edition draw backs as well. Can't run, can't fire Overwatch, can't Sweeping Advance. I think can't Overwatch is the biggest trade off. Nothing like emptying 10 auto cannons into that Contemptor that decides to charge you.
