Acebaur Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Yeah I was seriously considering running my EC but decided against it because of his lack of a invul save against shooting.

BigDunc Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 I dedicate my submission to Marshal Wilhelm who will undoubtedly give me a ration of grief for submitting a Techmarine! Brother Hansen, Forgemaster of the Kannas Crusade "Suffer not the Unclean" http://i600.photobucket.com/albums/tt90/bigduncm24/techmarinehanson.jpg -Source: Codex Black Templars -FOC Entry: Elite, Techmarine -Equipment: Power Axe, Storm Bolter, Bolt Pistol, Servo Harness, Iron Halo, Signum, Bionics -Points: 141 -Moving: Withdraw 2" every turn in order to put Storm Bolter rounds down range. If a 2" withdraw will leave me within 12" of my opponent, Brother Hansen's movement will instead be forward with the intention of shooting and assaulting. -Shooting: Fire the Storm Bolter every turn (remember the Signum reroll). Fire the twin-linked Plasma Pistol (harness mounted) and Storm Bolter (with Signum) when advancing before an assault. -Psyker Powers: None. -Charging/Assault: Charge in order to keep my opponent from assaulting. Parry decisions will depend on the opponent. -Voluntary Fall Back: None. :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/206873-blood-duel-arena-of-death-competition/#findComment-2470788 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dedicate my submission to Marshal Wilhelm who will undoubtedly give me a ration of grief for submitting a Techmarine! As the page was downloading, after seeing your name as the latest poster, I saw a Techmarine and I started smiling and then you called me out for my prejudice. It's almost as though I think they are for after battle recovery or something?.... :P +++ Actually, without Preferred enemy nor 3++ Storm shields, I think we will struggle against the UM, SW and BA. So I too have gone the shooty root to try and level the field somewhat. I feel like I've gone all yella, like an Ultramarine :) :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/206873-blood-duel-arena-of-death-competition/#findComment-2470843 Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigDunc Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 Argh...the triple weapon cheat. I have no problem with this (not that my opinion matters for rulings). I think interpreting the rules in this way is a little nit-picky. I actually fall into this "cheat" as well. My Techmarine is brandishing no less than SIX blessed weapons of the Imperium, seven if the storm bolter didn't replace the bolter. Technically, by the "cheat" rules definition, since I have access to the armory I can't take a bolt pistol and/or storm bolter because the Servo-Harness brings my weapon total to four. Shoot, I don't think I can even take the Servo-Harness because the Techmarine comes stock with a power weapon, bolter, and power fist. Gah! I can't even take the Techmarine! Ok, I'm done. :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/206873-blood-duel-arena-of-death-competition/#findComment-2479667 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jma037 Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 Rule as intended. Techmarine is intended to carry multiple weapons. Did GW intended to have a non-special HQ marine charater carry three weapons? Does the fluff support it? Again. I'm not bagging the idea. Hell, I'll bust it out once in a while too. That doesn't make it the honourable thing to do.

Rider-75 Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 we never heard of slings and holsters? it says in the armoury may select up to 2 weapons - it doesn't say they need to replace the one you already have (ie the crozius). anyway..... my entry: Brother-Chaplain Hendrich, Reclusiarch, Vendelsius Crusade "Now is not the time for Forgiveness. Now is not the time for Sympathy. Now is the time for Righteousness." -Source: Codex Black Templars -FOC Entry: HQ, Chaplain (Master of Sanctity) -Equipment: Rosarius, Artificer Armour, Crusader Seals, Holy Orb of Antoich and Crozius Arcanum, Storm Bolter -Points: 145 points. Moving: manouever into charge range, only stepping back if it looks likey he will be assualted. Shooting: Pop shots with storm bolter whenever possible. When in range, ye shall count unto 5, progressing from1, unto 2, and thence to 3 before passing 4. Upon reaching the holy number 5 though shall not proceed to 6, and most definitely not unto 7..... Throw the Holy Hand Grenade, sorry, Holy Orb of Antoich. Psyker Powers: Absolutely not!! Dare you suggest it, Witch.... Charging/Assault: Charge when in range, avoid being charged. Use 1 parry for any stun weapon attack. Voluntary fall back: Never!! Such cowardly talk shall see you burn.... http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l8/rider_in_black/DSCF3111.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/206873-blood-duel-arena-of-death-competition/#findComment-2480101 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mac_Atk Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 we never heard of slings and holsters? Exactly. Check out our upgrade sprue, no slings or holters. Wait. That's right, we chain and lock our weapons to our wrists, who uses orc hide slings anyways? THAT should be modeled on the techmarine. I think he may be a little wild card in the tourney.

Firepower Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 One more bone head for the fray! JASPER, MASTER OF SANCTITY "BLAAAAAARGH!" http://i828.photobucket.com/albums/zz201/Wills40k/Black%20Templars/IMG_2554.jpg Details:: Source: Codex Black Templars FOC Entry: HQ, Chaplain (Master of Sanctity) Equipment: Rosarius, Artificer Armor, Bolt Pistol, Crozius Arcanum, Bionics, Crusader Seals Points: 136 Special Instructions:: Moving: Forward! Not one step back, the faithful do not yield! Shooting: Pop off a shot with the pistol when the opportunity presents itself. It is not a priority. Psyker Powers: Faith and faith alone! Charging/Assault: Do all that can be done to get the charge (does anyone from the BT forum NOT insist on this?). Remember Litanies of Hate. No parrying: the best defense is unrestrained righteous fury! Special: In the unlikely event that Jasper's armor, faith, bionics and natural Astartes resilience fail, smash opposing model and/or player with a hammer.
