Lord Kallozar Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 hi all, has anyone tried running typhus or a generic terminator lord within a horde of plaguebearers? Yes I know they cannot join as a unit but just having typhus/terminator lord mixed in with a big unit of plaguebearers sounds grousome. does it work or can it work? Pros and cons? cheers.

King Jackal Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 What benefit do you see? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verbal Underbelly Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 I can't imagine it really working to be honest with you. Units can't be closer than an inch away from each other when they aren't joined (and daemons and non daemons can't join as you know) so the only benefit would realistically be a 5+ cover save from being shot at through an intervening unit.

Carrack Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 I think another drawback of this might be that you would have to roll two separate charge rolls to assault something together, as you would still be two different units. If only one made it you would be short on staying power with just the lord, or short on heavy damage with just the bearers. I don't have the Crimson Slaughter supplement, but don't they have an artifact that makes the model count as a daemon? Or is that just for casting malefic powers? Because that might make a terminator hc and some plague bearers useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucio Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Terminator Lord with Prophet of the Voices would count as a daemon, but the artifact specifically excludes them joining units other than Possessed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dam13n Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Terminator Lord with Prophet of the Voices would count as a daemon, but the artifact specifically excludes them joining units other than Possessed Yes, but he wouldn't have the "Daemon of [insert God here]" special rule, so he still couldn't join a unit of Chaos Daemons (even without the Voices own restriction regarding possessed) as the restriction on joining a unit of Chaos Daemons is a question of "Daemonic Alignment", not just having the Daemon special rule. The Daemonic Alignments are defined in Codex: Chaos Daemons, and are all "Daemons of [insert God here]". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Kallozar Posted December 22, 2014 Author Share Posted December 22, 2014 Fair enough cheers for the replies. So I'm guessing running typhus with a horde of zombies is still the best option? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
