Clauseiv1918 Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Last week I played a kill team game where a rule problem came up. Hammerhand gives +1S; Daemon Hammer doubles strength. The Codex says the +1 is added before the doubling of strength from the Daemon Hammer ((S4+1)x2=10) - see page 25 of the Codex. The 6th ed Rulebook does it the other way around ((S4x2)+1=9) - see page 2 of the rulebook. I had a look in the FAQs and did a search on the forum, but could not find a clarification. Any thoughts?

ferrus Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 The code states it as an exception so as far as I am aware the code still stands Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/279414-hammerhand-bonus-before-or-after-daemon-hammer-doubling/#findComment-3445515 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clauseiv1918 Posted September 3, 2013 Author Share Posted September 3, 2013 That was my thought, but I got over-ruled. Any thing 'official' on this one?

Res Ipsa Loquitur Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 That is the official line. Codex trumps Rulebook in case of conflict. p.7, Rulebook.

JamesI Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 The rulebook in 3rd, 4th, and 5th has also said double then add the +1. As long as the codex says otherwise (and a FAQ hasn't changed it) go with the codex.

Res Ipsa Loquitur Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 FAQ is silent on the issue. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/279414-hammerhand-bonus-before-or-after-daemon-hammer-doubling/#findComment-3445602 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Master Caloth Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Because the codex specifies the the addition is pre-TH doubling Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/279414-hammerhand-bonus-before-or-after-daemon-hammer-doubling/#findComment-3445660 Share on other sites More sharing options...
