Ninjoe42 Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Curious if anyone has tried this. Teleporting in a Bro/Pal Ancient with relic banner. Brings a brocap to get in smite range... Use strategem to Smite twice with Banner for 2d6 mortal wounds? Does that work? Did a search and didn't find anything about it.

Mr. Shine Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 You can't attempt to manifest the same psychic power more than once in a turn. The additional power has to be different.

Ninjoe42 Posted January 9, 2018 Author Share Posted January 9, 2018 I figure you're right, I just wondered if it bypasses that restriction since it was Smite, and can be cast more then once a turn.

Mr. Shine Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Yeah, the restriction I'm referring to is for an individual Psyker, so they still must attempt to manifest a different power.

Gentlemanloser Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 In general, it's a useless Strat. Now if it let you break the Matched Play rule of one, it might be worth the CP cost.

Corvus Fortis Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Even in Narrative is only would be used to cast another smite. Only Voldus could benifit from it if he was warlord because of 4 Sanctic powers + Smite he knows.

Gentlemanloser Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Well a general GK unit could use it to cast Smite and the GK power they know. But that's so situational as to be nearly useless.

As I said, it will be a mortal wound in exchange for 1 CP. Doubtfull exchange, IMO.

Mr. Shine Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Even in Narrative is only would be used to cast another smite. Even in Narrative, a given Psyker cannot attempt to manifest the same power more than once.

Gentlemanloser Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 In narrative all our units would be casting purge soul / vortex every round as thier one cast.

Corvus Fortis Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Even in Narrative, a given Psyker cannot attempt to manifest the same power more than once. That is the point. A strike squad with hammerhand will cast hammerhand and a smite for 1 CP. In narrative all our units would be casting purge soul / vortex every round as thier one cast. One of my mates complains that I like matched play to much and wants to play more narrative. I want to show him why it is a bad idea. The plan is: 1. Take battalion for 6 CP (and 1-2 Vanguards depending on pts). 2. Give very single unit vortex. 3. Take everything to reserves except something like dreadnought (leave it as an anchor on the backfield). 4. Everything turn 1 and cast Vortex+Psychic communion. Playing without Matched Play restrictions would make GK a very powerful but very boring army. Deepstrike+Vortex would be GK auto-choice list.

You did say "another Smite", hence my understanding being other than what you meant :tu: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/343195-ancient-and-double-smite/#findComment-4980741 Share on other sites More sharing options...
