Life taker

Post by Chain »

is it treated like a repeater crossbow or crossbow regarding moving and shooting?

aka would i be allowed to move and shoot with it?


Good to see t he current faq got it as magical bolts, which means it's the Ideal weapon vs Etheral targets

It's a repeater crossbow.

Only difference is that it's not armor piercing (but S4 and 3 shots)

Good

Thanks for clearing that one, was considering it mostly due to the 30' range

It will probably be a common sight in DE armies to handle the mandatory 3x1 spirit hosts from VC players.

Overall, the Lifetaker rarely disappoints me. Against other DE players it usually get it's points back already in the first shooting phase by killing a few shades.

Yeah, the lifetaker is in every list I make. I can't do without it and really hope we'll keep it in the new edition of our army book as well.
