Raven1 Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Wondering what you all think is the better power on say a unit Tzaangors is if you could only choose one. Anyone good at math that can hammer it out would be appreciated as well, or just general comments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nym Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Weaver of fate is a universal +25% defensive boost. Glamour of Tzeentch depends on the ennemy BS. The lower the initial BS, the better it gets. For example : Glamour reduces Ork BS by 50% (ie : it's a +50% defensive boost for your Tzaangors) Glamour reduces Guard / Tau BS by 33.33%. Glamour reduces Custodes BS by 20%. However, Glamour does nothing for auto-hitting weapons. Weaver is also easier to cast (WC6 vs WC7). I think taking both is mandatory anyway.

sneakybamsen Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Nym, could you explain how weaver is a 25% universal defensive boost? It makes sense if it takes a 3++ to a 2++, but it doesn't seem that way to me when cast on for instance tzaangors? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nym Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 I was specifically talking about Tzaangors (5+ going to 4+). Of course, it depends on the initial save of the target. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sneakybamsen Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 And then it would make the save 50% better, as far as I can figure :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paladin777 Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 (edited) Or a total of 16% more of the saves will succeed if you want to think of it that way.

Zodd1888 Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 50% more durable is a salesmanship pitch, 16% more saves is the pessimist/realist. sneakybamsen 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Re'Koleq't Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 (edited) 50% of the time it works every time! Buy now! Haha Still a great power though. Don't choose; always try and combine Glamour and Weaver to make the most of 'the sum of its parts being greater than the whole'... I think this is quite a tenet for our Legion reallly.

I couldn't agree more! I think the sons really more then any other can take something "meh" and make it "great", its probably why my daemon engines (defiler and forge fiend) put in so much work, take something decent and buff it into the stratosphere, take an already great unit and make it ludicrously effective at its job. Much easier to argue for anything in our codex once you see the plethora of options we have across the board for them, easy access spells, strategems, and the RR1's aura.

Raven1 Posted March 24, 2018 Author Share Posted March 24, 2018 I usually run them with a Tzaangor Shaman and demon prince. I like putting warp time and diabolic strength powers on the demon prince. I want to ensure that charge for when the Tzaangors come down. I might switch the claws out for the sword next game and drop diabolic strength Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Re'Koleq't Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Termie Sorcerer with familiar can drop in for the tzaangor warp time fun. It's a little risky for the sorcerer if no back up around but better odds of casting the crucial power. Unless you make you DP the warlord for the +1 cast, but I prefer Ahri and that's another topic.
