jakehunter52 Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 So I was reading in my IG dex today at Starbucks and came across good old 'Sly'. I am not a Catachan fan, an army consisting of Silvester Stalone clones is not appealing at all to me. But I do believe in the "count as" motto and so designed to learn him in and out. At first glance, I thought : "Huh. An IG assassin. Once again, an awesome idea stolen from my dex's patent office and reworded. I hope that we get as much original ideas to replace the ones we have lost." But as I read more, I though it was actually a good creation, focusing on demolitions and one on one fighting. Pretty cool IMO. And then I got to the points. Pretty much half the cost of Callidus assassin. And looking at the all the stuff he has, like the sniper pistol, move through cover, fleet, callidus like ability, demo charge :huh: , and this is only some of the 13 (not exaggerating) different rules and wargear he has, I am wondering if we are paying our government agents a bit too much? What I am interested in most is how are our assassins going to still stand out against this man and prove their salt and possibly what will be done in the future to further define them. Oh and just for kicks, I think that the Vindicare would pwn Marbo. Spy Mask and Exitus Rifle FTW. We need a polling function.

killersquid Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Marbo is also not as strong, not as tough, lacks the 4++, his demo charge is one use only, has no power weapon, only T3, only T3. He has some good things about him, but the Officio assassins can actually survive more then one turn. Something Marbo wont 90% of the time. He can dish out a lot of pain, but is far too easy to kill.

Worry ye not, when we get our new codex we will get to hire those guys to steal lots of stuff for our codex. Assuming we get a new codex . . .

Grand Master Tyrak Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 SJumppanen Posted Today, 06:56 AM Can we get "Sly" a ally? Unlikely, since the list of available units for allying in to DH/WH was written well before this incarnation of C:IG came out. Read the list in the codex. Pages 30-31 (DH) and p26 (WH). If you can see Sly Marbo on either of those lists, you can ally him in. Otherwise, you'll have to do without.:D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/168562-sly-marbo-vs-i-assassin/#findComment-1988711 Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, the Inquisition can make a case for getting Commander Chenkov and Captain Al'rahem, since they're both upgrade characters for the Infantry Platoon.

Gentlemanloser Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Marbo is also not as strong With his poisoned blade, he's actually 'stronger'. And the Assassins aren't that durable either. Far too squishy for thier Points. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/168562-sly-marbo-vs-i-assassin/#findComment-1988787 Share on other sites More sharing options...
