pathatrick Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Can crusaders take any power weapon? The ebook says power weapon unless it has been FAQed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicodemus Doloroso Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 I don't know if it's been FAQ'ed per se but when the iBooks version was updated power weapons be and power swords only. Same applies to DCA. I don't know if the non iPad (ebook?) version updates or not. You need to update in any event to get the new rules concerning psykers so power swords it is.

Kenderleech Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 every version of codex inquisition that was officially downloaded from games workshop/black library has always said power swords, on inquisitors, DCA, and crusaders. the only ones who get to choose what sort of power weapon they get are priests, and up to 3 acolytes. I make no accusations, but delete your copy, clear your cache, and redownload. I think that the power weapon thing was from a leaked version, as the few times ive seen them, it had the adepta sororitas back cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pathatrick Posted February 3, 2015 Author Share Posted February 3, 2015 For two meltabombs in points more instead of a power weapon you could add another priest and give him smash. I never realized the priest was a character. Good for challenges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never realized the priest was a character. Good for challenges. Yeah, you are probably going to get more mileage out of a second priest with smash than giving a lone priest a power maul or axe. I've found that a priest with smash can be surprisingly good -- I've only used this when the rest of the squad is dead and the priest is the last man standing, no one to buff, and he'd been able to take down some fairly tough stuff with that smash attack.

BitsHammer Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 The problem with getting a priest to smash is reliably getting their powers off. If you want that allying them from the Sisters codex for the relic that auto passes the Hymns check is better than taking them plain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicodemus Doloroso Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 With an inquisitor in the squad, I haven't found it that hard to get the priests' powers off reliably, but that relic sure wouldn't hurt! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Furyou Miko Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 How does the Inquisitor help? The standard interpretation of the rules is that the Priest has to test on his own leadership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicodemus Doloroso Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Oh, really? I thought all Ld tests were taken on the leadership of the highest Ld model in the squad. That's the way it's been played locally, although in all honesty I'm the only guy who plays Inquisition so people have just by default accepted my interpretation. I just assumed it was like Astra Militarum orders which go off the sergeant's (or an attached commissar's) leadership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BitsHammer Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 The difference is that with Guard orders it's a unit taking the test while with the Priest it's just the model taking the test. Since individual Psykers test on their own leadership for Perils the common interpretation is that models with abilities that require that model to pass a test on their own must do the same.

pathatrick Posted February 5, 2015 Author Share Posted February 5, 2015 Yeah, even the guard priests have to test on their leadership. I haven't really had them fail many though, even with their low ld. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BitsHammer Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Yeah, even the guard priests have to test on their leadership. I haven't really had them fail many though, even with their low ld. On the otherhand I saw them fail a LOT recently. That leadership is one of those things that can swing violently either way on you because of where theirs is.

That leadership is one of those things that can swing violently either way on you because of where theirs is. 21 out of 36 chance (58.33%) of passing the Ldhsp test, slightly better than a 4+. So should pass more often than fail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicodemus Doloroso Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 I rolled way too many 1's with Chessex dice too. I now use the square edged GW munitorum dice and my results are much much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Venemox Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 I have a set of precision machined aluminum dice from Amber Rix, when she did a kickstarter. Costly, but beautiful, tough, and machined to perfection. My friend has a set of tungsten dice, and those things are heavy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pathatrick Posted February 7, 2015 Author Share Posted February 7, 2015 I also field Guard, so I need a ton of dice. Wish I could find a cheaper solution than Chessex. (that statistically work better towards averages) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BitsHammer Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 My use of Chessex and GW dice is why I don't rely on anything being too close to the <60% range of likelihood as being a "good chance". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
