| When kitting out a trueborn dracon, there is an option to give him a venom blade or an agoniser in place of his ccw.
Is it just me or is the agoniser actually worse than the venom blade and costs 15 points more.
Am I missing something?

| Agoniser is a Power Weapon, AP4, so ignores 4+ armour or worse; against Marines, Venom Blade is better. | |

| Agoniser isn't AP4 it's AP3 so ignores 3+ saves or worse. So it's better than the venom blade against marines and MCs with 3+ or worse armour. | |

| As a random addendum - the V.Blade is better versus armor saves of 2+ just because it will wound more.
It's a very iffy line between which of the weapons is better, and it keeps shifting with the meta (which has been jumping around like crazy of late). | |

| Thanks Mush, I'd lumped Power swords and Agonisers as AP4, no idea why! | |

| the different power weapons are as follows:
Power Sword: Strength: User, AP:3
Power Maul: Strength: User +2, AP:4
Power Axe: Strength: User +1, AP:2, Unwieldy
Power Lance: On the charge: Strength: User +1, AP:3; Rest of the time, Strength: User, AP4
Agonisers are considered Unusual Power Weapons as per the BYB, so its AP:3
Huskblades were FAQed to AP:2 as per the DE FAQ _________________ Status:Usurping Kabal leadership for his PatriarchCurrent List:First 2k GSC List | |
