Sanguinor & his sword


Recommended Posts

I've had my Sanguinor kill Marneus and Lysander 2v1 and not take a single wound after several rounds of combat (both fighting him from start to finish, until dead of course). He later dispatched them both with ease 1v1 in a seperate game. Sanguinor, even if he kills no one, is also a black hole for heavy weapons fire. He just isn't really that effected by it. My friend used his Sanguinor to kill an entire unit of dark eldar incubi and their lord HQ (failed his 2+ inv) in 1 turn.

 

That said, don't let him fight dreadnoughts, that's just bad news. And I've also had him gunned down by shotgun scouts and bolter fire. Don't let them shoot him with small arms, that's the best way for anyone to drop him. Toughness wise he's kind of the opposite of meph, who laughs at small arms but fears heavy weapons. Sanguinor laughs at heavy weapons and fears small arms. Neither are fun for your opponent in combat, ICs or not. He is also the most under-rated support unit in the codex, as many here have suggested.

 

He was killed in one round of shooting when a unit of termis dropped in a pod right next to him. The roll should have scattered and seen the termis dispatched to the warp but they were lucky, any scatter at all and the pod would have mis-dropped, alas it was not to be. Then they opened up with combi plasma's and melta's. The smoke cleared and the sanguinor was gone. Turn one. *sadface*

 

:) That is so sad.. it must have been an imposter Sanguinor!

I dont think Drop-pods can have a DS mishap... Though what army were you facing that allowed termies in a pod? With combi-weapons?
