-Incinerator...+10
-Psycannon...+15

Ok comments, thoughts, screams of terror?

[Atrotos]

Wow, some really great material there guys, I love all of it. What I would like from this thread is a) some playtest results b) some reactions from the BoLS guys who have a lot of experience in this kind of project.

EDIT: Storm Troopers should def get Krak grenades standard I think.

I agree. Kraks should come with them.

[Atrotos]

125 is imo 25-50 pts too cheap for this guy does...


Why does the GKH have the option to take Helffire rounds? Doesn't make much sense.

Don't be lazy! Change the wording on rules that affect a different kind of unit. The psychic powers available to the GKH should not reference an Inquisitor.

[Inquisitor Soren]

Agreed I was rushing and lazy, fixed now.

Your right again I discussed it with my brother and HF rounds are gone.

He is also now priced up as well, Shrouding may warrant it a little higher though so, eh.

Thanks for the help! Lets keep this going!

[Dunadan]

Added some more effects to Rites of Exorcism(see my original post).

Should units with Heavy weapons be able to take Suspensors for +5 pts?

Suspensor: Any Heavy weapon with a Suspensor may be fired as an Assault weapon at half the range. Both Psycannons and Deathwatch Heavy Bolters are described as having Suspensors, so there is fluff precedence for this. Stormtroopers could take Heavy Stubbers w/ Suspensors for +10 pts?

[Inquisitor Soren]

Ya there is fluff for it, and I could see it, +5pts sounds ok till we can get a play run.

Heavy Stubbs are meh, honestly thats making a H Stubber what 20pts? For range 18, str 4, ap 6, assault 3 weapon...I'd rather take a melta honestly. Not all that competitive.

I think executioner rounds should be an upgrade honestly, maybe +25pts for the entire unit.

Be starting on the Cannoness here in a little bit, but I'm thinking Cauterizing Light may need a point buff, 2+/3++ FNP Thunder Hammer Terms is kinda scary and a little screwed up.

Holocaust is gonna be a GKT only ability, something to make them a little more unique and interesting.

Here is the Cannoness...

Cannoness 100pts
4/4/3/3/3/4/3/10/3+ 4++
Special Rules: Stubborn, Faithful* (2)
Wargear: Bolt Gun, Bolt Pistol, Close Combat Weapon, Power Armor, Rosarius, Frag Grenades, Krak Grenades

May take...
Psycannon Bolts: 5pts
Book of St. Lucius: 15pts
Cloak of St. Aspira: 20pts
Jump Pack: 15pts
Melta Bombs: 5pts
Litanies of Faith: 20pts
Mantle of Ophelia: 25pts

May replace Bolt Gun or Bolt Pistol with one of the following...
Plasma Pistol: 15pts
Inferno Pistol: 15pts
Combi-Weapon: 5pts
Melta Gun: 10pts
Plasma Gun: 10pts

May replace Bolt Pistol of Close Combat Weapon with one of the following...
Power Weapon: 10pts
Power Fist: 15pts
Eviscerator: 20pts
Relic Weapon: 15pts
Plasma Pistol: 20pts
Inferno Pistol: 20pts

Faithful: This unit contributes Faith Points and may use Acts of Faith.
Any psychic power used against a Sister of Battle is negated on a roll of 5+. (A psychic hood may NOT be used to attempt to negate the power first.)

Inferno Pistol: Range: 12", Strength: 8, AP: 1, Melta

(If two pistols are taken, they count as twin-linked, if they are different types either profile maybe used.)

I honestly feel that the Inferno Pistol needed a buff, tell me whatcha all think.
