He'll probably have a 2+ re-rollable invulnerable save. Combine that with a successful cast of Invisibility and he's untouchable.
When I saw the statline I was like "tough, but not incredible tough".
And then i remembered Magnus is not a fighter, but a sorcerer.
Which makes me expect that the brawny primarchs will top that easily, since they won't have 15 FUCKING powers.

If he does have invisibility, he'll be getting hit on 6's in CC as well. Let's say 2 attacks somehow manage to pass through each turn. Then they face the re-rollable 2++, which has a 97.3% chance of saving the wound. He'll be far tougher to kill than a full unit of Ravenwing with their 2+ re-rollable Jinks... :)
currently he has a 4++ stock. with rerolling 1's. So basically a 3++ stock considering chances. Which is not bad, considering he doesn't even HAVE an armour save, so grav do chilch. Plasma wounds on 4's. And yes, I'd bet my ass off that there is some invul boosting power in his psychic powers.
not fragile by ANY definition
I took the best case scenario for an attacker (excluding FNP), in the case where Magnus has the 2+ re-rollable inv. save and Invisibility. If the attacker re-rolls his To Hit and To Wound rolls and wounds on a 2+, Magnus has 99.99175% chance of saving the wound. It means that approximately 1 in every 1000 wounds will go through.
That being said I don't think he'll have access to Invisibility with those percentages :)
P.S. Didn't one of the new powers they showed give +2 to invuln saves?
The 1.x file was.
Wrong gitter, sorry.
yeah, the leaked, most likely wishlisted, primaris power of the tzeentch discipline.
That thing would be as broken if not more than invis since it ALSO deflects back with S3 AP3 Blind.

as a freakin PRIMARIS which you can get GUARANTEED.
Does he have a shooting attack? Other than witchfire? Sounds like either tarpit him asap or simply run away... Although, that's easier said than done since I assume he has wings...
we don't know yet
I remember some article that gave him several weapon options, but I THINK those were mostly melee-named weapons. But a Guardian Spear has a bolter attached to it, so....
and tarpitting won't stop him from casting.

I don't think Magnus wants to get into cc anyway. He is a sorcerer. That is his focus, his strength and his ability. He's not Angron or something like that
but he can kick some dudes around in CC without breaking a sweat
Sounds messy... Bravely run away (kill the rest of the army first...)
@raptor1770 are you looking at all the Space Wolves bugs? I'm sure there are some duplicates...
@raptor1770 i assigned you to all of them - im not sure whats a dupe and whats different.
wow, really FW? Deathwatch can take a stormbird?
does anyone object to me putting the stormbird into their cats? @raptor1770 @cartag @flakpanda ?
who is currently running gk?
Hisop (MIA) and Amis
@amis92 do you mind if i drop the sokar in?
up 4 grabs
eh fuckit i'll thake GK.
take*
Sokar should be in sm I think
it is.
If not fee free. I think I added tho
Kk
i stole it from SM lol
alright, i'll stick it in GK when i get back from feasting on the carcass of domesticated avians.
delicious turkey?
Farfetch'd?
haha was he domesticated though?
How is it people don't understand buying models and upgrades together to simplify? Referring to the GSC report @GenWilhelm just closed
Probably because thats not how it works in the codex. Writing a list by hand you just say 1 Squad (50pts), 1 Leader Upgrade (10pts), 1 Weapon Team with Lascannon (25pts).
Isn't it worded like AM where you replace 2 guys with a team?
yeah
"2 dudes may form a team"
Ok it's not quite worded the same
hows it worded in AM?
While there is the blurb about a team being 1 2w model it isn't quite as explicit- in AM it literally says "replace 2 models with one weapon team, armed with:"
Ah, different words with the same result :P
Agreed
That's fine @alphalas
I'll get it added to Chaos
and for my americans, Happy Thanksgiving!
@FarseerVeraenthis what did you do in the last merge pull for deathwatch?
@/all im having a problem with deathwatch cat. default selections are adding 2 of the selected item instead of 1. can i pick anyone’s brain about this? I’m at a loss as to why
Am is doing it too
sigh...
any leads?
Chaos also, it's a battlescribe bug
lame
anyone brought it up to jon yet?
@flakpanda I moved the Black Spear Strike Force formation decurion style detachment from the GST to the CAT... I don't think I twiddled with anything else...
yeah, i looked through it. just started with the last time it was updated
Cool 😎 speaking of moving formations out of the GST, I thought I'd moved the Corsair one out... But it still shows up...
the latest GST (v2011) doesn't have it
Righto, time for a full purge of the data on my phone then...
oh yeah, the version number wasn't incremented so appspot won't pull the changes
^
well, ypur phone wont
ypur
…….
your
i can type
after appspot updates itself, you have to manually pull the data
yeah, BattleScribe only pulls files that have a higher version number than the data it already has
I thought I'd done that, but obviously not properly... All good now :-)
i just force pull down once a wekk on my own unless im working on something i need to test it out
Just a couple of detachments to move to the CAT s now... I don't fancy moving the Space Wolves ones...
I'll move them if you want
Well, I had twiddle the other day and it didn't go well, so be my guest :-)
Pretty much a cut and paste job :)
Especially combined with the Space Wolf bugs at the moment...
Yeah, cut and paste, see how that goes... ;-)
Yeah, the sheer number of issue for space wolves is starting to bug me
Done
lol, the bugs are bugging you
Haha, I would work on them myself but I don't want to step on anyone who's working on the cat atm
That would be @raptor1770
@GenWilhelm you know, when I tried to copy and paste the detachments but things happened... Anyway, just a couple more to move from the GST now :-)
*but = bad
The trick is to not use the data editor ;)
Hey @Kohato @Thairne can either of you confirm if the stormbird is showing on iOS for BA or SM? It's not showing on my end in either with having show FW enabled
@alphalas the Sokar isn't linked anywhere in the BA cat, its just a shared entry atm
just checked SM, same story there
CSM it's not even a shared entry yet... only because I haven't synced a commit yet
:+1:
I'm on my way home now so I'll fix that as soon as I'm there
Thanks guys - appreciate it
