Wargear Stats

There is alot of information and summaries floating around about the units, powers, stats and points of models in the Grey Knight codex. Sadly however, there is still little solid information on the wargear available to the Emporer's daemon hunters.

This is thanks largely to the wargear sections being missing from the leaked playtest codex. Well, here and now I present to you a summary list of weapons and wargear in the codex given the most likely rumours.

Unlike some of my other posts, these are NOT based on strong rumours, but seem quite likely given the things we DO know. All compiled from various forums. Enjoy, and remember large pinch of salt. Much credit to Marmande of Bolter & Chainsword




Weapons


Psycannon (has both profiles)
24" S6 AP4 Assault2, Rending
AND
36" S6 AP4 Heavy4, Rending

Incinerator
Template S6 AP4 Assault1

Nemesis Force Weapons
All count as Force weapons. Thanks to the "Brotherhood of Psykers" special rule with all GK units have, they can only make one psychic test a turn, so a maximum of 1 force weapon attack per squad per turn (if they do not use another power, e.g. hammerhand). All force weapons give a bonus to the wielder depending on type:
 - Sword: +1 invulnerable save in close combat
 - Halberd: +1 to Initiative.
 - Hammer: +1 to Strengh
 - Falchions: Act as Lightning claws.
 - Warding Staff: Grants a 2++ save in close combat

Daemonhammer
A Thunder Hammer with Daemonbane


Doomfist
Basically a Force Dreadnought Close Combat Weapons. S10, a pair grants +1A

Force Greatsword
Same as a nemesis force sword, +1 to inv save


Heavy Incinerator [Dreadknight]
Template S6 AP4 Rending - Fires like hellhound (tip of template placed anywhere within 12" and wide end anywhere further away from firing model than the tip)

Wargear


Daemonbane
Re-roll to hit and wounds against daemons

Psyk-out grenades

The Aegis
-1Ld to enemy psychic roll when targeting a unit which has the aegis

Reinforced Aegis
-4Ld to any enemy psychic test made within 12" of a unit with the Reinforced Aegis

Truesilver Armour
Not sure on this vehicle upgrade, we know it makes the hull poisonous to daemon, so probably any daemon hitting the vehicle takes a wound on a 4+ (similar to Tau fletchette dischargers).

Warp Stabilisation Field
Makes the vehicle immune to perils of the warp (which normally causes a glancing hit)

Turns unit effectively into jump infantry. 12" move. Can also make one 30" move per game, after which it cannot assault, but can still shoot.

  2. Any word on 'True Grit' or something along those lines with the stormbolter counting as a CCW in CC?

  3. Word at the moment is that storm bolter will not be counting as pistols for the purpose of close combat. Which is sad times.
