IE, if we're talking about a Pitched Battle, the Inquisitor in the middle can seriously make a deep-striker re-think their options. If you keep some anti-tank and anti-personnel near it, they're really not going to want to risk it. There's always the chance they'll roll a '4', but then there's the time they'll roll about average, which is about 14 I believe on 4d6. Depends on what you have in your army and what he's deep-striking, though, as to how effective it is.<br /><br />I just remember the one Daemon game against IG where my buddy was testing out a Punisher (the S5, Heavy 20 Russ gun) with 3 hull heavy bolters, a heavy stubber, and Pask to give it BS4, alongside a couple of mystics.<br /><br />I'll let you guess how that went, but the short version involves ample use of 'chunky spaghetti sauce' as a descriptor of my units on arrival. Or 'hugging side of board.'Raptor1313https://www.blogger.com/profile/16909802419382710809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111360555104006558.post-79378014324192847102009-09-24T02:23:13.585-05:002009-09-24T02:23:13.585-05:00Keep in mind that the Mystic can be a bit random s...Keep in mind that the Mystic can be a bit random since you can only fire on a deep-striking unit that's within 4D6 inches.<br /><br />Still pretty nifty though...Davenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111360555104006558.post-53374129643606116922009-09-23T17:07:24.083-05:002009-09-23T17:07:24.083-05:00It's the mysticsthat really put them over the ...It's the mysticsthat really put them over the edge, in addition to the Tarot.
