Valaskjalf Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Hey, Im playing against SW soon and the guy will be fielding Njall. I desperately want to field a Slaanesh Sorcerer as Im keen to make use of their cool psychic powers and perhaps get lucky and combo it with Noise Marines....but feel that with Njall's 3+ Nullification that it will be completely pointless. Since we have just about zero psychic defense as CSM, do we generally skip anything remotely related to sorcery when playing SW (esp. with Njall amongst them) or is there a viable way of making it work against them? From what I hear Njall can be a very frustrating guy to face, and Id very much like to stick it to him and give him some of his own treatment! Just a heads-up: I assume someone will mention that I should ally in some Demons to get Divination but just upfront thats not an option as I have no interest in spending money on an army that does not appeal to me whatsoever.

Brother Aiwass Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Just get Njal heldraked as much as possible, and take a lvl 3 sorc tele or two. Ally yourself with CSM BLACK LEGION (HQ being lvl 3 sorc with last memory relic) and hope for the best.

the jeske Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 if the SW player takes njal you can bet he is in a termy armor. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/282019-playing-against-sw-chaos-sorcerers-a-waste/#findComment-3497663 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disciple of Fulgrim Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Have to strongly agree with the above opinions - even a regular Rune Priest's 4+ bubble can be incredibly annoying. Which is a shame, since the Sorcerer is a good deal and the Slaanesh powers can be fun. As far as "psychic defense" against the SW goes, I just hope I roll 6's for Deny the Witch and try to gun down Rune Priests whenever I can - they fortunately only have the 2 Wounds (as does Njal) so this is doable even if they're in runic or TDA. (Though if a RP replaces the SW Codex powers with say Divination and Biomancy, they can end up being quite the tank if they roll well for their Biomancy power.) One small bright spot is that the +1 Initiative NM's get helps out against JotWW. Good luck against Njal!

Fibonacci Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Njall is expensive and dies too easy. If he is hiding in a landraider he cannot use his other powers and is just a 500+ point counter to your 125 point psyker. Otherwise, just take him out at the start with oblits, drakes and/or plasma suicide termmies.

daveNYC Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 I'd note that two of your solutions are turn two at the best. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/282019-playing-against-sw-chaos-sorcerers-a-waste/#findComment-3498194 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly the biggest issue is that what you're hoping to do isn't that powerful (assuming you're looking for +1S sonic weapons). At the end of the day, S5 super Bolters isn't worth the hassle.
