Condemnor Boltgun - Useful or Not? Your Opinions and Experiences

[Dovanalo]

Hello everyone!

Just wondering if I should bother with the 15 point Condemnor Boltgun. As the rules describe it, it sounds like it would be a wonderful anti-psyker gun but I can only really see it reliably used against Grey Knights and Daemons. Anyone else know how to use this against other armies that keep their psyker in a bunker of flesh? Sure you could blow away the flesh shield.. but that takes a good while to do. Even against Gray Knights and Daemons it is a long shot. Having to get through a 3+ armor save or a 4/5++ save.

Even with that said though... what are your thoughts on the gun?

wouldn't effect daemons as they're not psykers.

personnally I wouldn't take the condemnor. it's a single shot with AP- that IF the same if failed it causes a Perils of the warp. so it has the possiblity of wounding a psyker twice
mostly it's the AP- that turns me away, followed by it being a combi so it's a single shot deal, all for 5pts more than a regular combi-weapon.

if you want to get 2 wounds with a combi I'd say take a combi-plasma and get into rapidfire range. cheaper and more reliable ('cause even GK's piss themselves in the face of plasma)

I'm with Sybrite. I'd take one if it weren't a combi-weapon. It's not a strong enough weapon for me to take that for one shot of an on-wound effect. Especially since it's a shooting attack, and thus can't be directed at the psyker in 95%+ of play circumstances.
