Pudelhund Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Do Pask's skills apply to the Hunter Killer Missile? I have ten points to spare, and if the thing is BS4, Rending, and I can re-roll ones and armor-penetration, then suddenly it doesn't seem so bad of a choice if I don't really have anything else to buy.

shandwen Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 I believe pask only confers rending to his main gun. But bs 4 and prefered enemy would confer.

Pudelhund Posted May 12, 2015 Author Share Posted May 12, 2015 Related question, but if the missile has unlimited range and it's called a Hunter-Killer Missile, does that mean it can circle around something and hit back armor or is it not guided or something like an actual HKM?

Jolemai Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 It's simply a krak missile with unlimited range. So the usual rules apply. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/307483-pask-hunter-killer-missile/#findComment-4039240 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Indeed, it's just a single shot krak and doesn't benefit from anything other than Pask's BS4 :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/307483-pask-hunter-killer-missile/#findComment-4039450 Share on other sites More sharing options...
librisrouge Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 And Pask's re-roll armor pen. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/307483-pask-hunter-killer-missile/#findComment-4039518 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacinda Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Indeed, it's just a single shot krak and doesn't benefit from anything other than Pask's BS4 Wouldn't it benefit from everything but Crack Shot?

CoffeeGrunt Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 He'd be able to re-roll the Pen, give it BS4 and Preferred Enemy. The special abilities only affect the main guns though, so no Rending/re-roll Hit dice.

WarriorFish Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Yes sorry, I was thinking about his main gun rules. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/307483-pask-hunter-killer-missile/#findComment-4039664 Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoffeeGrunt Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 IMO 10pts is still a bit much when you can give a Guardsman squad a Missile Launcher for 15pts. Then again, I think the Seeker Missile at 8pts is still rubbish, and that has the ability to fire at BS5 ignoring Cover and LoS.

march10k Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 rerolling pen basically makes it ordnance without the drawback...that's not bad...rerolling ones is almost BS5...again, good...ten points for a decent shot at stripping a hull point, it's not a terrible way to spend those points...as long as you're shooting at AV12, not AV14, lol!

CoffeeGrunt Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Yeah, it's good but not great. I dunno, I'm also a, "more boys, less toys," gamer. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/307483-pask-hunter-killer-missile/#findComment-4040609 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stofficus Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 I killed a Stompa, and almost everything around it once in the older version of Apoc with open-ended 6s with one. And the tank was shaken to boot. I never leave home without it. But yeah, it'd only gain Tank Hunters and Preferred Enemy, provided he's the warlord. Given how abominable bad heavy weapon teams are, HK missiles when you've got points to spare aren't the worst thing ever; I'm actively fond of them on outflanking Scout Sentinels.

march10k Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Definitely not the worst thing ever on outflanking sentinels...come on, let loose, and then die, lol BS3 sucks, you're paying 20 points per hit, and you still need to roll penetration, but on the plus side, you're hitting side or even rear armor. It's much better than a HK mounted on a vehicle deployed in the traditional manner...
