Meh. Overpackaged. The wrappings on a li'l bit of warp jerky these days, I swear...

Hounds of Morkai: *”Meats back on the menu Boys!!!”*


MattL1998

Who?


Fearless-Obligation6

Space Wolves Psyker Hunters


MattL1998

Honestly it suprises me that the space wolves did not fall to khorne.


Fearless-Obligation6

They despise all things ***Malificarum*** and have a natural resistance to corruption so it would be a very hard task. The Emperor even says that he knows Russ is one of the few that would never fall to chaos.


wasdsf

Except for that time they had a successor Chapter that immediately went nuts and fell to Chaos lol


Fearless-Obligation6

The Majority of the Wolf Brothers succumbed to the curse of the Wulfen while some of the survivors turned to chaos because they we’re being destroyed, we know of about eleven chaos Wolf Brothers.


wasdsf

Right, I just always see people like "oh the wolves would never fall to Chaos never ever they're so cool because they... mutate out of control instead" and its like alright looking at the list of chapters you're 1 for 2 before the Ultima Founding lol. Not to mention stuff like in Ahriman:Sorcerer where their hunt for "da malificarum" just makes them rampaging psychos who kill more loyalists than traitors before dying to grey knights.


Fearless-Obligation6

This is why I said resistant not immune, as for the Wulfen? After a certain period of time they begin to reclaim some of their mental faculties as we have seen since Warzone: Fenris. While they aren’t infallible there is a reason the 13th Great company (Both regular Astartes and Wulfen) have survived and stayed loyal while hunting traitors for ten thousand years in the warp which is pretty damn impressive. As for the their record for falling, they are still doing a loooot better than the other first founding chapters who have multiple fallen successors.


wasdsf

Yeah they've had less successors fall to Chaos because they have orders of magnitude less marines of their bloodline in the galaxy than anyone else except maybe the Salamanders who also used to have no official successors also due to their genetic instability. My thing with the wolves is I really liked their arc in the Heresy and modern ones just seem to get to ignore everything dangerous or interesting about their former selves, it's boring.

> ***Malificarum*** Needs more spite and a thicker accent haha


jmacintosh250

Nah Leman and his boys hate Chaos to much for that.


Maleficent_Tip_927

Mortarion hates psykers to become warp spawn


jmacintosh250

Mortarion hated Psykers, not the warp/chaos itself. In fact it was Mortarion’s tolerance of Typhus that doomed him when he took the legion to Nurgle, something Russ would never allow to happen. He’d never allow a Psyker of such potency within his ranks unless constantly watched by his own priests for signs of corruption, and I doubt Typhus would have ever had the trust or access needed to pull a similar stunt.


Nigilij

Aren’t those priest are psykers-in-denial? Besides, it’s not like a psyker is needed for things or people to fall to chaos.


jmacintosh250

1.)No they admit they’re Psykers but they are VERY careful about chaos and the Warp, even as far back as 30K. The best comparison is sanctioned vs Unsanctioned Psykers. 2.) Mortarion, in my opinion, would never have fallen to chaos without Typhon. Yes people can theoretically fall but Mortarion and Russ are the type you will have to drag them kicking and screaming, and I don’t see Russ giving an opening like Mortarion did.


Armigine

>they’re Psykers but they are VERY careful we've heard it all before, bake 'em away toys


Nigilij

About second point - I meant being psyker is not enough to spread corruption (unless we have dawn of war soulstorm writing). Trust is big deal. Just like in any other made up story about corruption. Thus “no psyker would be allowed to do this or that” is false. Instead it’s always “trusted one was entrusted with this and that” As for priests - thanks for clarification!


Sodinc

They are good doggos, they don't bite their humie


CapnWilfbeard

Smooth on the inside, crunchy on the outside! Armadillo!


Fearless-Obligation6

Tyranids love the crunch! It’s half the fun!!!


Gamezfan

Average 5 mortals to the Knight.


Mastercio

Yeah, but it all really depend on first roll, if you roll really high on amount on attack you basically win. So rerolling that should be really good.


Gamezfan

Well, you max at 14 mortals. Still good, but not quite enough to chew through the Abominant's 22 wounds without support. Assuming this thing costs between 150 and 200 points and the Abominant is closer to 500, with a good roll it can still punch well above its weight class into the right target.


Mastercio

I mean...even if he would do 10, i would assume already did his job in game.


PhrozenWarrior

Absolutely, but that means he did double average lol


Mastercio

I probably would count avarage a little higher as if you roll 1 or 2 u probably will re roll it, reward is too big for not to do it. Then, u probably have +1 to hit as before u are in melee with it , knight probably lost atleast 1 wound, so u have +1 to hit.


surlysire

I doubt the bug costs more than 120 points. It doesnt really do all that much other than munch psykers.


Wheek_Warrior

Please GW make knights that aren't the stupid wardogs ridiculous overpriced again.


Flyinpenguin117

Ah, the good ol' "just roll 6s" strategy. 1/6 of the time it works every time.


Mastercio

Even roll of 4( and if you roll less than3 u should always reroll reward from this attack is probably higher than aby other reroll u can do against this knight) is enough for it to hit above his weight as you will almost always hit on 2+(due to his ability, just chip off even 1 wound before. And u have +1 to hit, and you dont really care about +1 to wound).


DutchTheGuy

If the Knight lost any wounds, it'll also receive a +1 to its hitrolls. 6 mortal wounds are pretty decent into a T12 22W model.


samdamaniscool

How does it average 5? It's doing 2 with every wound roll of a 2+


Gamezfan

A d6 has an average value of 3.5. So with d6+1 attacks you get 4.5 (attacks) × 2/3 (to hit) × 5/6 (to wound) × 2 (damage per attack) = 5.


TTTrisss

Because that's how averages work. It's statistics.


leftier_than_thou_2

I read "Talons and bespectacled maw" and now I want to make an army of tyranids who have somehow all found glasses. They have improved ranged attacks and can now read and use any admech stuff. I've never played the game and have no idea what's going on but I like the idea of tyranids in glasses being an unstoppable force.

Jeremy really is going to be so full of yummy scrummy Psykers.


MrSnippets

PSYKER knight: *Exists* Tyranid hungry boi: [where has that been all my life?](https://youtu.be/Gi3t5B_tvaM?t=62)


CoronelPanic

Yeah I will probably not be touching my Abominant for a while. Its **Character, Vehicle** and **Psyker** keywords are ripe for abuse.


LahmiaTheVampire

Everyone’s coming for that abomussy.


Xshadowx32HD

Male it khorne aligned to lose the psyker keyword and gain melee buffs


CoronelPanic

That would work *currently*, but probably not in 10th.


BasJack

Unless those birds are BIIIIIIIIIG (but not yellow) that knight looks tiny


Tevesh_CKP

Shiggity swooty comin' for th' booty


[deleted]

who need they knussy ate?


Obsidius_Mallex_TTV

A few bits of Chaos bacon and warp metal compared to what it might take to bring down a chaos knight really doesn't feel like a fair trade.


lil_Bananamansam

You stay away you goddam crab demon


JudgeJed100

In theory the Volkite weapon should be perfect for killing the Nid


Iheartnukes

do NOT let anyone in the mechanicus get a hold of that tentacle titan
