Dafoo Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Hey guys, first time here in the GK forums. I have started working on a detachment of GK/Codex Inquisition group of Death Cult Assassins and a couple other things which I will be trying to figure out later. I bought a box of those new Dark Elf Wyches from Fantasy as I liked the models more than the regular Cultists and was wondering if anyone knew where I could find a good sprue that would have Axes that could fit into their hands. I try to be as WYSIWYG as possible and figured I would see if any of you guys would know a good place to look. I am going to be running ten of them and I was going to have them go Power Sword/Power Axe with two Priests and a Ordo Xenos Inquisitor with Rad Grenades. They will be in a Land Raider Crusader which I am going to be getting those pretty doors from ForgeWorld to mod. Anyways any tips or suggestions would be cool. I have always liked the Assassins as I love melee and honestly they are probably the best in the game at it. Later guys.

irwit Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 I've read somewhere that codex inquisitor death cult assassins only have power swords now?

Prefect Apollyon Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Codex: Inquisition says; "Death Cult assassins: Flak armour, two Power weapons." No mention of swords. As for Axes, no idea.

Quixus Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 They might be a bit large, but puppetswar has some axes. Stylistically they might fit with the Wyches.

Dafoo Posted December 22, 2013 Author Share Posted December 22, 2013 I checked out those axes thanks, I might have to get those. They should fit aesthetically. For everything else there is green stuff and scalpels. Yeah it says power weapons in both codices.

Kenderleech Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 codex inquisition says two power swords. It does not allow mix and match. Unless they updated again, and did not list the change. addition. Just redownloaded freash, still says power swords.

Quixus Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 With the new rules for the different power weapons it would make sense though to disallow power axes. I can't help but imagining 6th Ed combat with a death cult assassin wielding axes like this:"Yoohoo, evil enemy of mankind, I'm over here! See these axes? Once I have dodged your strikes, I will bury them in your skull, capice?" instead of striking him down before he can react (death cult assassins are I6)Using axe and sword on the other hand would have its benefits. Strike with the axes against foes with a 2+ sava and/or I7, use the sword against the rest.[rant]So fanatical but basically normal humans can strike at I6 with a power weapon but a 1100 year old Chapter Master cannot?!

Kenderleech Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 codex grey knights get two power weapons. codex adepta sororitas get power swords. Because, hey, why not. And the only guy in codex inquisition who gets to pick his power or force weapon is the priest. Everyone else gets a sword..

Dafoo Posted December 23, 2013 Author Share Posted December 23, 2013 My copy of Codex Inquisition says Power Weapon, just like GK. So I was kind of under the assumption I could take both just like GK. I didn't even realize Sororitas had DCA and checked there, and those are Power Swords, so yeah.. Anyone know about an FAQ on this? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/284807-death-cult-assassin-mods/#findComment-3552295 Share on other sites More sharing options...

irwit Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Are you looking at a real version or a torrent download version? My dodgy copy says two power weapons.

irwit Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Im thinking Op has a dodgy copy then and this explains discrepancy. Shame they dont get to take axe and sword, that made them a lot more versatile and more worth their points.

True_Hisop Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 in the OFFICIAL, grey knights book and the OFFICIAL codex inquisition it states that death cult assassins have two power WEAPONS. in the adeptas sorroritas OFFICIAL codex it states that death cult assassins have two power SWORDS as it has not been faq'd we can assume that the sisters codex just has less options for there assassins. sorry to be bunt but someone has already categorically stated this twice and it was ignored. so a mixture of swords and axes is both legal and exceptionally good (its exactly what i use). Sources: as a (nerdy) inquisition player i have all three books (or rather book and epubs).

Inquisitor Fox Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Here's a point folks... DCA's are S4 base. Add an Inquisitor with Hammerhand for S5. Axes hit AP2, but how often do we melee terminators? The Axe also disallows the rather stellar Init stat of the DCA. Do we really, really care that much about not having the options for Axes when we can hit S5 regularly, at Init 5 or 6, and have AP3 which slaughters the infantry we should be engaging in the first place? :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/284807-death-cult-assassin-mods/#findComment-3568560 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenderleech Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Except when you are still wrong. I just reredownloaded both the .mobi and the .epup versions, Got a file reader for the .mobi version, and both still say power swords for codex inquisition. Downloaded straight from blacklibrary/myaccount/my downloads and opened. Swords and axes are Only legal if you are running codex grey knights. Otherwise, you have to run two swords. And nicole makes a fine point. Shoot terminators. If you want to bust tanks, use mauls.

Kenderleech Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 then what we have here is an issue. I redownloaded them less then ten minutes before posting the last time.

Kenderleech Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Ok. I just torrented a copy, like people who didn't pay for it on day one would have, and the torrented (and therefor of dubious legality) copy says power weapons. It also says "Codex adepta sororitas" at the top of the first page after the inner cover, in both the epub and mobi versions. and on that note, im deleting the less then legal copies, and going to bed. see you in about 8 hours Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/284807-death-cult-assassin-mods/#findComment-3568617 Share on other sites More sharing options...
xanthate Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 My copy is legal as well and was downloaded from BL website on the day of release. Now the codex was probably edited since then as upon re-download (a few minutes ago) I also have one that says two powerswords. That makes me the happy owner of two legal and contradictory versions of one codex. (small pb here GW on communication) It would have been nice to have GW mention the alteration somewhere. On a side note: Implying that people use dodgy material without proof is bad manners and extremely rude Kenderleech.

True_Hisop Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Although the piracy accusation hurt after phoning black library they confirmed there was an update witch changed the assassins configuration as I downloaded my copy Day one due to the fact I primarily play inquisition rather than grey knights and was expectedly extatic to get a new book.
