Warhorse47 Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 A box of ale? Yea doncha know? Red Necks drink wine from a box so the next logical progression would be ale in a box. Back on topic... I faced this window-licking sociopath today and I must say he made me laugh. After his BS (not ballistics Skill) terrorist bomb went off he killed my HQ dead. One topic of debate: it says any model in base-to-base contact with him is removed. There were three bloodclaws in B2B with him - does this mean that they get killed too? Thanks from the BT The rule says all models in base contact.

Initiate of the Templar Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 The rule says all models in base contact. So I was right and they should have died? Ah well thanks for the clarification.

Ravenger Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 like the concept, love the fluff about this character. i will probably field him when im playing games where i wanna take out a carni with a 5man squad so i figure this is a good place to ask this, i was thinking of running him in a group, it states something like he nor the group he is with will have greater than 8 ldr, does that inply i can not accompany this group with a wolf guard leader, or get around the headstrong rule in some way to shoot the plasma pistols b4 i charge with em?

EricBasser Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 I just picked up the new codex yesterday, the Lukas the Trickster, and Njal. I am amused with the fluff and rules for Lukas. I'm going to be running him most of the time. I think fluff-wise, Lukas could be an answer to many of the "How do we have lost companies" questions. Answer: "Lukas tricked them into going somewhere they didn't need to go.

Alienerd Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 Trample attack from enemy imperator titan on Lukas = giant freezer! If this ability does work on vehicles, then oh dear. I don'tlike the model, so made a similar one from the plastic box, and didn't add a cape, as its so chameleonic, that it blends in, and is invidsible lol Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/180258-lukas-the-trickster-fan-club/page/2/#findComment-2136656 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maximus-92 Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 so i figure this is a good place to ask this, i was thinking of running him in a group, it states something like he nor the group he is with will have greater than 8 ldr, does that inply i can not accompany this group with a wolf guard leader, or get around the headstrong rule in some way to shoot the plasma pistols b4 i charge with em? You may still give the blood claws pack a wolf gaurd, and they will not have to follow the headstrong rule, but if you field lukas then the pack will not benefit from the high leadership of the wolf gaurd.

Demogerg Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 I think some people are a bit mistaken on how Tank Shock/ Death or Glory works, only models in the direct path of the tank shock can try to death or glory, if they tank shock in such a way as to not hit lukas then you cannot elect to DoG with him. Also, I dont know why everyone hates the model, I absolutely love it. The face has an amazing level of insane creepy laughter look to it that its making me very excited to paint him up. His pose is great, I always like running models. All of his armor is loaded with fun little details that are always a joy to paint and look good. the only thing I can think of why people dont like him is that he is not "attractive" Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/180258-lukas-the-trickster-fan-club/page/2/#findComment-2136698 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morticon Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 like the concept, love the fluff about this character. i will probably field him when im playing games where i wanna take out a carni with a 5man squad Make sure its at least 215points worth of Carnie :lol: Or youre not getting your points worth !!!!

Kyley Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 ^ err...just like to say...I'm not in this, poor model, and the epitomy of GW trying to cram in special characters everywhere they can, in every unit, when they aren't needed.

Newobmij Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 I just bought both Lukas and Njal and painted them over the weekend. I love the insane details and the creepy grin, but man is that claw HUGE. I mean, it's the size of his torso and head combined with claws that are even longer. If not for the power armor he'd be going into battle dragging his claws on the ground. As it is, he's going to be severely off balanced unless there's some kind of anti-grav assist built in. I'm tempted to just take one of the leftover wolf claws from the boxed set and replace the mega claw to make him look reasonable.

Vlk Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 According to the codex, his Wolf Claw is "personalized". So don't touch his Wolf Claw or he'll show you why it's good to have two hearts .)

Wulf Vengis Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 All i have to say is................................................charge a titan! Logan: Lukas, I need you to lead this most disobediant of all the Blood Claws Packs away from that Emperor class Titan. just retreat off the battlefield and go home. Youll only get in the way. Lukas: Pfah! Screw that old codger! Come on boys I gots a plan. Onw stolen Land Raider Crusader later, the titan the crusader and all parties involved are frozen for eternity. Logan: Just as planned.

Auretious Taak Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Lukas is...lets face it, he has awesome charcter fluff but gamewise he fails (read the thread below). Lukas the Trickster Review on Yes The Truth Hurts I like the fact he can take out an entire Emperor class titan when he gets stepped on along with the entire company of whatever was sitting inside it, but who plays at such a level? In normal 40k where he'll be utilised the most there are way more useful things to take for the points. As an aside, I'm feelinga bit miffed by Lukas's heart, before he was released I had a Dark Heresy Ogryn Demolitionist (slight rules tweaking to allow the skills selection) who with no fate was a walking suicide machine with his 20 kilograms of demolition charges slung casually to his back and a concealed cavity next to his heart filled withd emolition charges wired to explode when his heart stops for more then half a minute...That all said, it'd be cool if they had wired his heart with a Vortex Grenade instead. :rolleyes: Auretious Taak.

Onw stolen Land Raider Crusader later, the titan the crusader and all parties involved are frozen for eternity. Logan: Just as planned. To be fair, the sneaky bastard would probably find a way to take over the Titan and turn it's guns on the enemy.

Toasterfree Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 yeah i thought of that TS idea. it just makes for great sickness since he does have a PP, could do something to armor 12 or under so it only makes sense. m actually going to make a list with him in it to play next time ig out.

dublindawg Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 What would be nice is if you could add Lucas to a pack of Sky Claws, they are blood claws afterall.
