Terminus Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Are the Brother-Captains that lead the elite slot terminator squads still considered Grey Knight Heroes? There is seemingly no difference between the elite and the HQ brother-captains: identical stats, same point cost, same rank. I ask this specifically for the purpose of items like Sacred Incense, which is labeled GK Heroes only.

Inquisitor Fox Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 They only count as a Hero when they're the HQ choice, which is under the heading "Grey Knight Hero" as far as I can tell. The other one is a mere Grey Knight Terminator sergeant. You'd think they'd both be the same due to stats, but with the wording of the Codex it seems that's just the way it goes. In my own interpretation of what is written anyways. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/173090-brother-captains/#findComment-2046305 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffersonian000 Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 I concur. A Brother-Captain is only hero when purchased as a hero, while the elite Brother-Captian is a terminator squad leader.

Chengar Qordath Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 Agreed with everyone else, a Brother-Captain is only a Hero is purchased as an HQ. Interestingly, since an Elite GKBC is still Ld10 and can purchase a psychic hood, a GKT squad is a pretty good choice for an Elite choice for other Imperium armies to ally in.

Master_Matteo Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 i think this is done in this way because there are a couple pieces of wargear that is for inquisitor lords and grey knight heros only.

Alanter Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 In addition to Master_Matteo: There has to be an HQ-Captain in Order to unlock the dread and the LR©. Would look rather silly if a normal Terminator Sarge could do this. :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/173090-brother-captains/#findComment-2046653 Share on other sites More sharing options...
kennedy Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 You would think his stats would bump up a little when he becomes the hero. Something between his regular stats and the GM would be nice.

honersstodnt Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 maybe we'll get it when the new Grey Knights codex comes out... *snigger* Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/173090-brother-captains/#findComment-2047975 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thaelion Hexis Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Also, do not be fooled by one of the sections in the DH codex, page 38 Collecting a Daemon Hunters Army. You need to take a Grey Knight Hero in order to unlock a Dreadnought, as not shown in the photo :rolleyes: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/173090-brother-captains/#findComment-2050971 Share on other sites More sharing options...

wizard12 Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 brother captain should have 3 wounds like the new SM captain, their sort of the same in rank terms Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/173090-brother-captains/#findComment-2053991 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justicar Valius Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 brother captain should have 3 wounds like the new SM captain, their sort of the same in rank terms Look here's the thing. I take a BC with psy bolts and 4 GKT's as retinue as a terminator squad but as HQ so I don't have to pay stupid amounts of points. These force weapons and extra wounds would drive up the 61 points cost and ruin me. If you want to spend that much points on extra wounds and force weapons be my guest i'll just take one psy hood with unlimited range for the points. :lol: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/173090-brother-captains/#findComment-2056154 Share on other sites More sharing options...
