Gaz1858 Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Hi all, As I am going to be running two Dreadknights at a Tourney and as Hammerhand is now useless is anyone able to help me out with how best to use Dark Excommunication? Ideally if anyone has a list of units/models affected and what that effect would be that would be great.

Gentlemanloser Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Save your single Psychic Power for activating your Force Weapon. Even versus EW Daemons that would be of more use! :P (j/k!)

Reclusiarch Darius Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Yeah, Dark Excommunication is so cornercase you'll remember the few times you actually use it. That said, removing Gifts can be clutch in certain fights. Although in my experience, the Greater Daemons all stomp the poor DK pretty easily. He's actually better off munching on Daemon infantry or murdering Soul Grinders. The only time I bother activating force is against EW's or T6+. In all other cases you already ID by default.

number6 Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I have found dark excommunication useful when my dreadknight was in close combat with a big unit of khorne juggernauts. Suddenly ... they ain't so tough. ;) But yeah, there are limited situations where you'll find dark ex handy. Mostly you'll be activating your force fists or sword instead.

MFive Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 what does Dark Excommunication even do?? i did't think there where any Dark Gifts(i think it says) and i did't think there was a FAQ to specify Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/270082-dark-excommunication-and-its-uses/#findComment-3291775 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reclusiarch Darius Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 You need to read the Chaos Daemons codex. Instead of wargear, they have Daemonic Gifts. They grant a variety of things, from guns to blades to invulnerable saves to armour saves to grenade to special rules... That said, 'Dark Excommunication' is very cornercase. That one time, against that Bloodcrusher horde, it is going to matter, but every other day you aren't fighting Daemons, it is utterly useless.
