Captain Tezdal Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 was curious on the best way to equip a brother captain for my hq, just NFW and SB, or give em a psycannon? Also not really a fan of using stern so any suggestions on how to "bling" my BC so he stands out? was thinking more gold, mebbie a hold helm similar to Blood angels honour guard, not sure what im going to do yet thought. Any advise would be a big help. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/164305-how-to-equip-my-bc/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Master Tchezzarus Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 For your BC equipment, it really depend how you plan to use him. Will he be in a retinue or not? do you want him in CC asap? will you use him as a mobile firing platform?... Anyway regarding the psycanon : then best place for them is definitely on GM/BC/GKT. To "bling" him as you put it : -maybe use a different paint scheme for him. for example mine is black whereas my GKT are "silver" : -or add more purity seal, -or give him a different weapon (I mean in shape! continue to use it as a NFW!), -or give him a banner, -or all of it! -or If you've got the skills/patience/money : make your own conversion!

Prathios Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 -or give him a different weapon (I mean in shape! continue to use it as a NFW!), Tchezz! I give mine a daemon hammer cause its fluffy and I modeled a hammer for him. That and its supposed to be brother Dvorn from the books who uses a Nemesis Force weapon, but its supposed to to hit much harder so i figured str 8 would work out ok.

Thaelion Hexis Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 I usually give my Brother-Captain a psycannon and Hammer Hand. He adds some extra ranged punch to his unit and is equipped for those times when some armour just happens to be nearby, since opponents love to charge dreadnoughts into my lines. It keeps him relatively cheap at 101 points and still rather effective. As for looks, I used the BC model from the GKT box. I replaced the halberd with Stern's sword and added the psycannon arm. He's not fully painted yet, I was thinking extra gold on his armour, but it seems a little cliche.

FunkyEntropy Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 My recommendation is to not get too fancy with gadgets and whatnot. Slap on a psycannon (or just the bolts if you're hurting for points) and let it ride. Paying over 100 points for a one-wound model is always a losing proposition in my opinion.

Aidoneus Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 I actually like to give mine a Storm Shield and NFW, and put him in with a squad of PAGKs in a Land Raider. The Storm Shield, because of our unique codex, actually gives him an additional attack (the asterisk says it counts as a single-handed weapon). That, plus the nice little 4++ save in close combat, makes it quite an efficient upgrade, and greatly improves the squad's CC punch. If you want fire support, go with a psycannon and a 3 GKT retinue with another psycannon. 254pts total, and it's a nice, mobile firebase. If you want anything more strictly CC-oriented though, you really need to go all-out and buy a Grand Master. The BC just does not make for an outstanding CC HQ choice. If you take the GM, you absolutely need to give him a GKT retinue, so that you can always allocate insta-kill wounds to other models. For modeling, I really can't help you. I just slapped a psycannon arm onto a BC model, and have another BC model with standard weapons. I'm sure other people can give you superb advice in this regard though.
