Levitas Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 So many great heroes to choose from, and a whole 4 slots. But is that a slippery slope to a top heavy defeat, or a quartet of power for the win If you go basic then you can still get the best out of all. The heavy hitting special characters should not be used in 4s unless its apoc. But with so many options with the homebrews I think you can put together a decent band of heroes. At 1850 i'm playtesting: WL with claw, SS, jump pack, warrior born (goes with 10 man skyclaws) WP with jump pack (goes with 10 man skyclaws) RP with living lightning & hurricane RP with JotWW & living lightning Thats 535pts and over a quarter of the total points on 4 models. crazy stuff. But thankfully the rest of the codex is dirt cheap. How viable this is remains to be seen, but the option is there to take 4 HQs so is worth a run out. I'll be running this with 3 long fang packs of 5 heavy bolters each. Its fun to play test.

Hjaertrr Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 If you're keeping them cheap and in relatively large (1850+) games then it could work. The most i've ever fielded is 2, 2 rune priests, either that or a wolf lord normally. I've always been tempted at bringing 4 rune priests though, for 400 points basic it might be worth it, though I normally play 1500 and its a little to charcter heavy at that points value for me.

Spazmonkey Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 well i have thought about a build using 3 WGBL and a wolf priest.... it only uses 350 - 400 points for all four slots(with some wargear) but beefs your unit very nicley Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/184253-fangtastic-4-should-we-max-out-on-hqs/#findComment-2178105 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natanael Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 I ran 4 RPs in a 1000p game against a friends chaos. Not supereffective, but really fun!

Grey Mage Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 I per 750, rounding down or up as my mood dicatates- Ill run a full 4 just shy of apocalypse. I feel more than that is probly asking for trouble if I give them anything more than basic equipment.... and I like the freedom to customize my HQs.

megamat008 Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 I've ran 3 Rune Priests in my latest games, and it worked wonders. One of them is a Master of Runes, and they all have a Chooser. 3 Runic Weapons means that is becomes quite easy to shut down lists that rely heavily on Psychic powers, such as Seer Council or Eldrad Eldar, Double Lash Chaos... I plan to test a list with a 4th RP, in a GH Rhino like the others and a 4th Living Lightning ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/184253-fangtastic-4-should-we-max-out-on-hqs/#findComment-2178264 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long_Feng Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 Logan grimnar and 3 RPs. At 1500+ pts. Works incredibly well! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/184253-fangtastic-4-should-we-max-out-on-hqs/#findComment-2178393 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel more than that is probly asking for trouble if I give them anything more than basic equipment.... and I like the freedom to customize my HQs. That system seems pretty familiar...

Yeti Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 In normal games (1700-2000), it's possible if you can keep the costs down. But you inevitably end up sacrificing in other parts of your list, so you have to be very careful. I currently run with 3, but my Wolf Lord runs almost 200. I could run 4 bare bones wolf/rune priests, but I find that they lack the CC punch of a lord.

Hjaertrr Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 Now we have 4 HQs its a shame we can't still take Dreads as a HQ choice. Bjorn, 3 Venerable Dreads and 3 normal dreads, that would've be sweet.
