Capt. Kenaz Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 I want to include LUkas the trickster in one of my blodd claw packs, BUT am a bit torn over how to best use him within my army. Should he lead a group with as many other blood claws as possible? Should the bloodclaws with him be fully kitted out, i.e. power weapon, plasma pistol, melta/flamer, etc. ? How do you run/use your Lukas the Trickster model, and what has worked bets for you??

Chodjinn Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 I know this doesn't really help, but IMO he is the most useless and overpriced character in the Codex. You can almost have another full blood claw squad for what he costs. I know he's got some fancy gear, but he's just a total waste of points I think. However, sicne he's built for CC, if I were to run him, I'd stick him in a maxed out blood claw pack in a LRR/LRC with a Wolf Priest to keep them all on a leash. Expensive but fun.

Max_Dammit Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Wouldn waste a priest on them, just let them run a mock, the high LD wont work and once in CC there at the right place.

Hfran Morkai Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Wouldn waste a priest on them, just let them run a mock, the high LD wont work and once in CC there at the right place. I think that's why a Wolf Priest, someone pointed out that "Reckless" or whatever it's called doesn't affect Fearless (plus they can still shoot then if need be.) That's how I'll be running mine in apocalypse, WP, LRC and as many Blood Claws as possible, though the main reason for the Priest is more attacks ignoring armour saves! I want my power weapon per five Blood Claws! haha wishful thinking. In smaller games I'd probably put a fist in his unit and keep the pack small, hoping "the last laugh" does some serious damage to an opponent's much loved squad.

Captain Juan Juarez Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 There was a version of this question, about 6 pages back... Lukas and his Squad Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/191263-lukas-the-trickster/#findComment-2269437 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. Kenaz Posted February 1, 2010 Author Share Posted February 1, 2010 Okay, Sooooo; I agree that he is a bit expensive, but I want to play test him in the 'suicide' squad roll that has been mentioned. I am thinking, Lukas, Power fist, Flamer, 6 more Bloodclaws, and possbily a Rhino to get around in... I'll tally up the points and see if it fits into my list. Thanks for the replies.

Wolfpriest Cjarl Nightmane Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 I would use him for games above the 1700+ as thats when you will see the big boyz wading into the thick of things... Watch the horror creep into your opponents eyes as Lukas pops out of a vehicle to take out that expensive HQs or whatever gets your way Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/191263-lukas-the-trickster/#findComment-2269770 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Betrayed_Spacewolf Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 why use him? his suicide squad relies on hope and hope alone that you make the roll for his stasis bomb. hes useless almost as much as arjac. i dont know why anyone would bring him in a game. just use a wolf guard with a lightning claw and plasma pistol its cheaper, increases your leadership and well just better Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/191263-lukas-the-trickster/#findComment-2271681 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormbrow II Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 Use him as a WG stand-in. It's the best you can hope for because as soon as someone finds out about him he's going to be shot to bits.
