Hi all, I was flipping through my DG codex and had a thought regarding a psychic power from the daemons list (virulent blessing) and blades of putrification psychic power. Hoi word have to take a Herald or GUI and a malignant plague caster. And a big as possible unit of possessed.

 

Blades of Putrefaction:

If manifested, select a visible friendly DEATH GUARD unit within 18" of the psyker. Until the start of your next Psychic phase, add 1 to all wound rolls made by that unit. Furthermore, any wound rolls of 7+ made for that unit in the Fight phase with a melee plague weapon (i.e. a plague sword or any weapon with the Pague Weapon ability) inflict a mortal wound on the target in addition to any other damage.

 

Virulent Blessing:

Pick a NURGLE DAEMON unit within 18" of the Psyker. Until the start of your next Psychic phase, you can add 1 to all wound rolls made by that unit in the Fight phase. Furthermore, until the start of your next Psychic phase, any wound rolls of 7+ made for that unit in the Fight phase inflict double damage.

 

What if you cast these both on a unit of possessed? Do you cause double mortal wounds on to wound roll of 5+.

Possessed have all the keywords needed to be able to be affected (infected? :p )

 

Thanks in advance.

As far as I know, double wounds dont work on Mortal wounds. What you'd be doing is doubling the damage of their normal attacks and then adding a mortal wound to that, rather than doubling the number of mortal wounds caused. I'd agree with you that you'd only need to roll 5+ to make that happen though
