thought you all would like to hear that the GW GrayKnight FAQ is up on the website


FAQ GrayKNight

all seams common sence to me

Terminators are 100% officially supposed to hitch a ride in chimeras... :/

Cheers for the link!

Pretty much the way I've been playing things, so no change from my end.
The cheesier gits in my club would beg to disagree, though.

S10 NDF on the NDK? 'Squeeze me, it's NOT a 'walker', ergo no doubling up. Plain as the nose on your face, like, innit?

Ah, but the counterpoint is "S6 power fists on a monstrous creature? But S10 power fists on a marine?" Sure, it's not a walker, but it's a giant powered exoskeleton which appears to make the terminator *weaker* than it would be using a power fist on it's own. Still doesn't make sense, and I can see this possibly being changed in a future FAQ.

S8 on a marine before mods, and that's usually only +1. So S9 max.

By the time they change it, I'll have stopped playing them. So, once again, it won't have any effect.
(unlike SW that had two updates in a week and the IA ones that were redone 4 times).

Unless it gets an ERRATA, then the FAQ still doesn't matter to me.

Would've been S10 for a GK (Assuming they could take Powerfists of course)

As they are S4 + Hammerhand = 5 x 2 for being Powerfist. (Hammerhand is taken into account before modifiers)

S10, S8, it's still higher than S6 Giant exoskeleton with power fist driven by Terminator = spindly IG colonel with a power fist ... unless it's against a vehicle of course, where the DK gets more penetration.

Against a Daemon MC, a Marine with a power fist has a better chance of wounding than a GK dedicated Daemon MC killing machine. Still seems odd, but then very little makes sense in the game any more.

i now see where the hammer comes into play though on the DK. you now have a reason to take it.

Its uber! Coupled with a Librarian nearby to up the DK initiative to 10.... Walla! Uber!

*Ponders... Maybe I should make my DK have interchangable heads on his weapon?*

Easy enough to do with a pin. I'd recommend something around 1.5mm thick or so for the pin, though.

Don't like the hammer on the NDK. It looks a trifle small. And the sword is too large. Yes, I know infantry carry swords around in this game that are TWELVE (scale) FEET long, but why upscale it again?

Thats ok, my DK has a Halberd I was thinking if I sliced the halberd top off, I could quite easily just give him a deamon hammer instead, for very little effort!

As its plastic, it doesnt take much to keep it in place thankfully

The Halberd just 'counts as' a sword at the moment

would love to see the dk with halberd before it gets altered.

~Will sort out some pic's later/tomorrow.
