However, it's not that often you see huge squads of Bikerz either... too expensive. So the idea's not a total wash.<br /><br />One nice thing about the DH is that the get the Emperor's Tarot. So there's a plus for them.<br /><br />And who cares about Ld7 when you're a. IG and b. in a tank and thus Immune to Psychology?Dverninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18098608506710554678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4534943151483818749.post-42188320375634431182009-07-16T11:54:11.719-07:002009-07-16T11:54:11.719-07:00With the Callidus in concert with a PBS and Weaken...With the Callidus in concert with a PBS and Weaken Resolve, the target mobs Ld can be reduced to 2. Neural Shredder uses the targets Ld instead of toughness to determine wounds. The shredder is S8 Vs Ld, so, any unit with a Ld of 4 or less will suffer instant kills since its like S8 vs T2.<br /><br />So, the nobs will only get a 5+ cybork save. Any fails are instant kills, since FnP wont apply.<br /><br />Although- after reading Mob Rule- they may get to use the # of models in the mob as it says 'may substitute for normal leadership value' and doesnt specify that its for Morale checks as I thought it did.<br /><br />I also caught that WH Inquisitors do not get Mystics for a retinue choice, only DH Inquisitor do. And the DH Psychic powers are all Daemon focused, and generally useless ;)<br /><br />I thought about the Culexus, lots of shots seems nice. But having that bubble of Ld7 doesnt seem like the best idea. But, Weaken Resolve and Psych Out Grenades, and their Drain life ability are uber- but those only work against Psykers- so are very limitied in general usage.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16757589097588823570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4534943151483818749.post-63330909304874720592009-07-16T08:41:04.472-07:002009-07-16T08:41:04.472-07:00The Callidus combo is certainly nice and will put ...The Callidus combo is certainly nice and will put the hurt on a single squad... of single wound models. The thing that makes Nob Bikerz so rough is that they all have 2 Wounds. So you'll do some damage to them, but it is unlikely that you'll actually kill that many with just the one shot. Any smart Bikerz player is also going to space them out so that you can't hit more then 3-4 with the template.<br /><br />Still, not a bad idea and would do more to them than most.<br /><br />Another one I've heard is combining PBS in a Chimera with a Culexis. S5, AP1, Assault 12.<br /><br />Either way, best use it soon. I hear the DH and WH codexes are up for re-write next year. Word has it that there's going to be a single Codex: Inqusition and the allies rule will be gutted.Dverninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18098608506710554678noreply@blogger.com
