aura_enchanted Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 So I was mulling through asmodai's new rules and a hilarious possibility dawned on me and it truly would be hilarious. It requires some prep work but it would be just incredible if it happened In a game of maelstrom of war asmodai is your warlord against an unbound army where lord cypher is nominated as acting warlord. If asmodai kills cypher in a challenge you would get 2vp's (stwl + the hunt), plus d3 (from asmodai's special rule), plus d3 (from cyphers special rule for dark Angels slaying him). That's a potential 8vp from one challenge. And that would be a huge hill for the enemy to climb if it was early enough in the game. It would be just so so brutal.

Master Avoghai Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Cypher cannot be your warlord IIRC ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/310256-asmodai-kill-point-nonsense/#findComment-4106453 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SvenONE Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Lol Asmodai killing Cypher in a challenge.... Don't forget Cypher has EW, so Asmodai would basically need the divine help of the Emperor!

Elios Harg Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 The hunt no longer gives a bonus VP, BTW. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/310256-asmodai-kill-point-nonsense/#findComment-4106553 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cactus Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 You could get a similar number of VPs by using the Silence Squadron's stasis bomb instead of Asmodai.

Isual Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 You could get a similar number of VPs by using the Silence Squadron's stasis bomb instead of Asmodai. Unfortunately both scenarios are highly unlikely due to the lack of decent ap. In case of the stasis bomb the warlord even has his LoS and a initiative check. I would be realy supprised to see even once of both ever happen ;).

twopounder Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Cypher is more likely to kill Asmodai than the other way around, given the amount of times he can fire his plasma pistol. The hunt no longer gives victory points and cypher can't be the warlord (he just reduces the warlord's leadership by 1). On top of that, nobody will ever use cypher or asmodai, let alone both in a single game. Then, even if you do manage to pull that off, you'll probably roll 1's for the extra points anyway.

Solrac Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 The Hunt no longer gives VP's but Asmodai himself has a rule that gives him the D3 points. Check his profile.
