AlphariusOmegonxx20 Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 So I was having a look at all the leadership modifiers cult get access to, and with them mental onslaught seems fairly op: if you put a patriarch next to a clamavus, and cast mental onslaught on an imperial knight that's had the horror (from Tyranids) and Terrifying visions (from imperial guard) and you're rolling at ld 11 Vs ld 6: that's 72 mortal wounds on average if you use a command reroll. The psychic powers are all at least 18" range, so you don't have to get too close either. Does This need a nerf in an FAQ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you combo that with the locus' -1 that knight is dead and has no way of stopping it, maybe it'll need an FAQ but maybe we'll be the ultimate anti knight list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N1SB Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Brother AlphariusOmegon, this is genius. I hope they fail to FAQ it just so that we can be the ultimate anti-knight list. And I will start painting my Overkill Patriarch now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mordian Glory Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 I have heard a rumour that it is going to be FAQ'd to Ld Characteristic not just Leadership. SO it would be based on unmodified leadership. But for now, yes Mental Onslaught is amazing and we should use it against knights as much as possible >:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kallas Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 I like that MO is potentially able to counter Knights. I dislike the MO is :cuss -ing ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anarchistscourge Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 I find it funny that this is possible....but for it to be possible you need at least 3 detachments, getting off 3 powers and having all the relevant characters in just the right place to do so. Its a great trick but I feel it relies on too much. take 10 aberrants with an abominant and they will do the work just fine. We can buff them out the wazoo also with +1 Str from iconward relic, Clamavus, Primus, Might From Beyond and other WT and relics but then were getting into my original issue with the Psychic Onsluaght Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
