Welcome to Gaia! ::

The special ammo would all probably have to work different with a storm bolter. I'm sure they didn't allow it to happen because it'd be a pain to have an extra ruleset for it. The storm bolters are just around for if you'd rather your sternguard had on the move long range firepower, thought 10 points a peice is a bit pricey for it, in my opinion. I'd rather take the special rounds or combi-weapons. =p

WTF is TSOALR??

ill just take your word that it isnt good.

I dont know... Alot of the 40k comics i have seen are usually not funny. but ill look at it.

Go Frep!

I used assasins (deamonhunter) a few times and I gotta say,
it requiers some ahead planning to get them work more efficiently in the battlefield.

I´ve only used and Vindicare (SNAAAAAKE) and Everson and yet I can´t
seem to get any good results out of them,
I try to get rid of a character or a special weapon in a squad,
I miss/fail to wound;
try to damage a light-armoured tank, fail that too.

Charge a crazy assasin againts a unit;
prombtly fails to kill much and gets killed in the process. gonk


oh that´s nothing, DA´s didn´t even have a changes to get
Inquisitors in their army due to the old supplements Ally-restriction rule,
let alone to ally with IG´s with ogryn´s and ratlinks in their army. :p

This was removed in the 4th Ed codex due to Deamon- & Witch hunters codex Ally rule,
so now a days it does make sence for DA´s to join forces with the Inquisitor and none-human IG´s? @.@

When it came to Assassins, I only ever used Eversor and Vindicare. Vindicare was fun to try and use but his limited special rounds made him not very worth the points, especially now since what are they.. Sternguard? I think that's the ones have unlimited special ammo and can swap types each turn. lol

The Eversor though I loved for three reasons. The first being the old story in the original Assasins book where the Eversor takes on entire family and when it ran out of its conventional weapons, it literally grabbed soup spoons and the like and kill them with that instead! It just really made of a twisted story that made me giggle... sweatdrop The other reasons are because it reminds me a lot of the Predator and well, in a Space Wolves army nothing says loving like a pack of blood claws, a venerable dreadnought and an assassin all charging in at once.

The biggest trick with assassins, especially the eversor and Calidus though I find is that you had to have them operate as reinforcements rather than one man/woman armies. When they went solo there was a good chance they would die before making their points back but if they helped a unit, they tend to sway the tide of battle very quickly. That and if an Eversor dies, he self destructs Predator style and takes people with him which I always enjoyed doing! lol

To be honest Kaori, there are two truth's to everything. There were multiple reasons posted on the web site, most of which I suspect were more to keep things calm while some where more honest in a manner of speaking. The guy worked for a living and admitted the comic he did as a way of keeping his sanity so to speak, give him a hobby to enjoy and share with others more so than just painting 40k miniatures anyways. So the comic to my understanding started out as a fun project for himself, it grew from there yes but the bottom line is, it started out as a fun thing, not a profit making scheme. That's just how I've come to understand it though, I'm not the guy who made the comic nor am I GW, so I will never know the whole truth of the story.
