Was looking at the Doom Flayer entry today. The profile itself is S3, with the weapon profile being S4. Looking at it RAW, it appears the impact hits are S3, since the weapon hitting at S4 doesn't affect the profile strength. A similar situation would be if an abomination had a halberd for some reason. It would attack with a weapon bonus (S7) but impact hits would still be S6.

Am I wrong here?

Well because the machine's strength is 4 I'd use that for impact hits as well. its basically a slightly faster/slower chariot that hits as well as impact hits.

That may be the intent, but the whirling death's S4 is a weapon, and impact hits use the model's strength. Unless I'm missing something, those impact hits are S3.

Impact hits are S3, The weapon hits are S4.

It's still funky though I think.

Fair enough, I'm not much of a rules lawyer so all I go on is what the intent seems to be. But with an ok opponent I'm sure they'd let you use the S 4.

Well...consider it S3 in the same vein as multi-using the storm banner...
