Brother Aiwass Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 So, how do you think this works? Pariah bolters change the bolter profile from Rapid Fire to Assault. However, the Seeker Squads have special ammo which have its own profile. Should it change everything to assault if armed with pariah bolter? Or only the 'rapid fire' type ammo? Or nothing, as it changes only the weapon profile who happens to be changed by the ammo type? My interpretation is in line with the second premise, but I like to read the community POW.

CaptainHelion Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 I think the special ammo replaces the profile of the Pariah Bolter, when shooting with the special ammo. This is how it works when you're using special ammo with standard bolters, and with the 40k Raptors Chapter Tactic special attack. Also, the Pariah Bolter is a separate profile to the standard bolter, rather than an alteration, so the other thought you had doesn't work.

Brother Aiwass Posted July 21, 2016 Author Share Posted July 21, 2016 Oh. So, it's worthless to even consider the option of give pariah bolters to the seeker? Bummer.

CaptainHelion Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Actually, I'm not sure its useless. You could conceivably just... Not use special ammunition, if you wanted to charge afterwards. I don't think there's anything that stops you doing so?

Fangbanger Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 The new special ammo is nuts but heavy 1, hence trying to get an assault weapon Nice try, but This is not possible. The ammo is heavy 1 therefore the gun firing is irelevant I'm affraid Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/324079-legion-seekers-with-pariah-bolter/#findComment-4447566 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think there's anything that stops you doing so? Because I never used seekers before and didn't know they also have normal ammo? The new special ammo is nuts but heavy 1, hence trying to get an assault weapon Nice try, but This is not possible. The ammo is heavy 1 therefore the gun firing is irelevant I'm affraid Wasn't a nice try. I specifically stated that my (wrong) interpretation was to the rapid fire type ammunition only.

Charlo Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 You'd only get the benefits of a Pariah Bolter if using it's profile. If using special ammo then you dont.

rendingon1+ Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Always thought these pariah bolters were tailored for marauders and veteran-snipers squads. The later makes most of them I think.

Dono1979 Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 you could still use Pariah Armour with the Special Ammo to snap fire them after running Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/324079-legion-seekers-with-pariah-bolter/#findComment-4448252 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Aiwass Posted July 22, 2016 Author Share Posted July 22, 2016 Good one. So they can disembark from the dropclaw, run and snap AP 2 :D Maybe not the best, but hey, it's nice to have the chance of repositioning the squad and still fire, even if its only snap-shots.

Dono1979 Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Its amazing how many times you will roll some 6's and often your opponent is not expecting you to be able to get in range, just beware of Predators Autocannons and Kheres Assault Cannons.... they hurt.... a lot.

Unfortunately you cannot snapshot with Scorpius since it's Heavy 1. Pariah armour allows snap shooting with assault, pistol and rapid.
