Angelus Nex Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 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.

Toomanyprojects Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 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 Angelus Nex 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/340059-death-guard-possessed-combo/#findComment-4901789 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowCore67 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 The Possessed's weapons don't have the plague weapon rule. So while you'd be causing double damage on a 5+, you wouldnt be causing any mortal wounds.
