Hey guys, well I'm thinking of making a Culexus-themed Untouchable assassin. Which are the effective anti-warp weapons with the new stuff in Ascension?
On the ranged side of things I'm thinking of either the Malleus Psycannon or the Storm Bolter with Psycannon bolts. Might have issues with creatures with Unnatural Toughness though, but being able to bypass psychic defenses is awesome.
On the melee side of things, the Power Stake from Ascension is just awesome, dealing savage damage to anything with a Psy Rating. Adding strength bonus to damage helps somewhat against Unnatural Toughness. Not being able to bypass psychic defenses is an issue, but with that damage I guess the weapon only needs a few hits to get through to do its job. Will have problems against fliers too (use a jump pack?)
Anything else I missed out? Which are your favourites?
Im thinking get the assassin in good with a fleet ship captain ( perhaps save his ass a few times so he owes you ) and when you see a daemon...call the ship up for an orbital BLESSED bombardment cannon shot...just to be sure..better safe than sorry with daemons. As for the psyker..ranged attacks...ill go with the meltagun and blessed ammo since the weapon has great penetration good damage FIRE and if blessed as well....besides as a null assassin basically you will not be seen by him till you get into good range for the strike....just not too closely unless you want the psyker to get that feeling all nulls give them. as for close quarters...ill take cheap and dirty tactics....webber or webgun just as you get the target at edge of your null influence zone then close in with needler coated with some good fast acting potent poison for debilitation or rapid death...nice basically silent and quick
