Draigo question

He is. having a force sword with the daemonbane rule that grant S10 against psykers is about as good as it gets without being a monstrous creature. Giving every model that's good in CC an AP2 weapons is just going to devalue how rare they are and lower the effectiveness of terminators.

agreed that the strength 10 is good. But it's a very specific power that is useless most of the time, and it's only ap3, meaning it's pretty much useless for a majority of enemy HQs, because most main characters+bodyguards have Terminator armour.

 

When you Consider how potent daemon weaponry is (because his sword was made from a daemons heart) it should rival abandons sword or something. I'd happily trade of an occasional strength 10 for ap2 that can be more reliably boosted to strength 7 with hammerhand ;-)

If he did have an AP2 weapon I believe it should be unwieldy but that would cause another problem of not utilizing his high initiative and despite having a 3++ he would easily fall prey to MEq. AP3 is not the end of the world, far from it. A daemonhammer with strength 10 and AP2 would actually undervalue the extra rule against psykers as he is always going to be striking at S10 with one. I like his AP3-ness It means he's good against almost everything, but isn't against specifically vehicles.

 

I didn't know his titansword was made from a daemons heart. But daemonswords in our own codex are not AP2. The Emperors Champion (Black Templar) and the Deathwing Knight Sergeant are the only examples I can think of with AP2 weapons that strike at initiative. (There's centurions too, if you swing that way). The Champ doesn't increase the strength of the wielder unless it's unwieldy and 2 handed, then the DA DW Knight's mace (or flail, or something) is a once only use. Having a sword that can be S10 and at initiative with Draigo's WS means he will ID almost anything. They need some sort of defence against such a potentially lethal weapon. I almost feel sorry for the daemons, almost.

Lets also highlight.

 

Draigo refored it himself.  With his bare hands!

 

In the Warp, with no forges or tools available.

 

Just his pure Psychic Might.

 

Hell, he should be able to punch through 2+ Armour with his bare hands!

 

All hail Draigo!!

Pnar Pnar!

How soon we forget that Power Weapons use to all be AP2, back when Power Weapons ignored armor saves. And since Draigo predates AP on CCWs, he got nerfed big time when 6th assigned an AP3 to the Titansword. It's not wishful thinking that GW changes it to AP2, it's the fan base pointing out that GW made a grave error in assigning an AP3 to what was once an AP2 weapon.

By that logic all weapons would be AP2 and nothing would have changed. An AP2 weapon at initiative is extremely rare since they changed the rules. Saying they were different is just reminiscing of a bygone era. At least he keeps his attacks at initiative. Dante can't eve swing an axe as good as he once did. I'm sure there's an OAP joke in there somewhere.

After reading the 7th faq, draigo has actually been nerfed. HE NO LONGER HAS A NEMISIS FORCE SWORD. he has a regular force sword with the mastercrafted and daemonbane rules. Therefore he no longer gets a 2++ in combat because he no longer has a nemesis weapon.
