Diagramdude Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Does Psybolt Ammunition strat work on Fury of Deimos relic? The relic replaces a storm bolter, but RAW I don't think you can buff it with Psybolt ammo. If you could it would be nice S6 AP2 with 6 shots within 15" like a little pocket assault cannon.

Waking Dreamer Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Personally, I think you would be able to. Hardly anyone takes the Relic Bolter as is. People like to think Relics as near game-changers, and maybe that's why our Relic bolter isn't as good as other army's relic bolter, so that it can be stacked with our psybolt ammo. I'd let people stack it. It's not game-breaking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzer Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 RAW you can't unfortunately. Fury of Deimos is not a storm bolter in terms of rules. Fluff-wise you could argue it is one since it requires you to have one and then replaces it but rules-wise Fury of Deimos is Fury of Deimos and the Psybolt Ammunition doesn't list Fury of Deimos as viable target.

Corvus Fortis Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 In any case, this is definitely not worth it - neither taking Fury of Deimos, nor spending 2 precious CP on Psybolt ammy for only 6 shots. Unless, it is a campaign or friendly game, in which case no player in fair mind will forbid this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be nice in the next CA, if GW adjusted psybolt to 1/3 CP for 1/2 units per shooting phase, explicitly allowing relic stack as well.

Panzer Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 1CP Psybolt Ammunition would be a no-brainer and get used every single turn just like the 1CP re-roll Stratagem. Grey Knights really need more interesting Stratagem options on the whole. Something else to look forward to with the next CA I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diagramdude Posted August 23, 2018 Author Share Posted August 23, 2018 I think it's an unintentional omission. The C:SM book has stratagems that call out relic bolters by name as able to be buffed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzer Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Or it's intentional. There's literally no way for us to tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Angels use their Weapons of the Dark Age every turn on 10-man hellblaster squad, and nobody complains. Both Psybolt Ammunition and Psychic Onslaught definitely have to go to 1 CP.

Diagramdude Posted August 23, 2018 Author Share Posted August 23, 2018 Yeah this is opening a huge can of worms but it's frustrating the GK errata hasn't been updated since April 2017... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danarc Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 And GK codex will not be updated in the next faq, probably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diagramdude Posted August 24, 2018 Author Share Posted August 24, 2018 Page 99: Psybolt Ammunition Add the sentence "The Fury of Deimos counts as a storm bolter." I wish.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzer Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 That would be nice. Tho I agree with above that it would probably be wasted anyway. I'd rather use it on a unit with 5 Storm Bolter instead. ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
