S13 Doom of Malantai'

This isnt a question, just a random revelation...

If you took Doom of Malantai' and soul leeched your way to 10 wounds with S10 AND you rolled on biomancy AND got Iron Arm AND roll a 3 on your D3 one could potentially field a S13 Zoanthrope named Doom.

You can't go above S10 with blessings unless stated, and iron arm doesn't mention going over S10 so i don't think that would work

not to mention that for you to get Iron Arm you would need to give up Cataclysm and roll a 1 for that one power.

Probably a good thing it caps at 10. There are a few other units out there that have similar potential (Warboss on charge would be S11, mob rule bringing LD up to 30ish just to name a few. oddly enough I gave two Orkzamples, as I don't see them too often but first ones that came to mind.)

I usually get my Doom up to 10 pretty quick if he survives a round or two. Never tried for Iron Arm, as I now always take psychic shriek to double up on the LD checks. I always seem to roll 3 wounds when I keep the base power.. Nothing sucks more watching the blast scatter off target and him just about killing himself in process. Iron arm does help jump that S up faster though, but 1/6 pretty low..

I personally feel that getting iron arm, as unlikely as it may be, is more for increasing his toughness and giving him eternal warrior in the process, then no more lucky las cannon shots can pop him in one to and if you deploy him correctly you know he's going to get wounds anyway. I will try out a double shriek though next time I play, that sounds like an interesting combo.

the only stats that go higher than 10 are Armour Value and if the apocalypse rumours are true, Hull Points.

Oh good, just to make sure that wounds are the underdog again.. Phew was worried there for a sec.

Attacks and Wounds can both go over 10, according to Pg.2 in the Main Rulebook. The Doom is capped at 10 Wounds because Absorb Life says so, not because of any universal Rule.

I really should check rules before typing more often.
