I.E. A mastery 2 casting onto a Mastery 1-2 OR warlock = 5+ DTW, a Mastery 2 casting onto Eldrad (Mastery 3) = 4+ DTW.<br /><br />For giggles, combine this with a Void Dreamer's Spirit Shield which gives an additional +2 to DTW... I had had a unit with a 2+ DTW (6+ goes to 4+ with Spirit Shield, and then to 2+ with a superior Psyker in the unit, or the Void Dreamer present makes it 3+ at Mastery 2). But I digress...<br /><br />The DTW on a 5+ is base for any psyker in the unit, regardless of mastery level. The Runes of Warding should stay as they are to show the defensive prowess of the Eldar when it comes to psychics. However, some Farseers are quite war like - look at the lore around Bel-Annath of the Mymeara craftworld. He is a former aspect warrior of multiple shrines and a former Autarch who became a Farseer. He is the best Farseer in CC (being WS6 and 4 attacks on the charge) and due to the broken nature of Forge World has access to the pyromancy school. I agree that Farseer's are mostly support, but not all of them are - a lot of the lore, books, etc. portray a group of Farseer's who are seers and not warlocks who have some brutal abilities in the way of witchfire. Thirianna in Path of the Seer is a classic example, during the battle with the Sons of Orar Librarian - she rips his mind apart. In the chambers of the craftworld the seers divine the future and navigate the threads of fate. On the battle field they fight - the only Farseers that go onto the front lines have previously trodden the path of the warrior and have their war mask, as such, they know how to control and use their anger and murder lust to destroy their enemies.<br /><br />All that aside, congrats on your game.Phoenixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17672118083462277006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1278252476801553420.post-62504835147580007582013-04-08T10:41:56.530+01:002013-04-08T10:41:56.530+01:00Great game, It sucks to see Chaos lose, but Eldar ...Great game, It sucks to see Chaos lose, but Eldar have some sweet units.<br /><br /><br />I think Runes of (Warding?), the one that makes enemies take the test on 3d6 and peril on 12+ is good enough. It stops it from being overpowered, but it seriously screws over a lot psykers, Even a LD10 pskyer has over a 1/3 chance of failing and Perils. Chaos can actually mitigate that somewhat by taking a spell familiar.Baron OhShinoreply@blogger.com
