Isryion Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 . So my captain got a demotion to Vanguard sergeant and I doubt I ever use a captain again until our codex changes. This is exactly what I did, though I still call him "Captain" for fluff purposes; he just stays with the Vanguard;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamaNagol Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 My 'Captain' fell to the Black Rage and is now in my Death Company with a Jump Pack and 'Counts As' Lemartes. I did also waste my time and build a 2xLC model with JP. Think he will be a display piece Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Chris Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Not this again! The point of taking a captain is to take a captain. You like the model. You have a fluff reason, like following a particular company through a campaign. You want a simple approach without too many special powers. You are fighting with very low points. There are many reasons to play 40K, and mini-maxing isn't the only way of enjoying it. I take a captain for role-playing reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLACK BLΠFLY Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 I have never taken a Captain. I dont remember them ever being popular either. The last real codex everyone ran Chaplains and Sanguinary High Priests. So to be honest I dont know what is the cause of all this lamenting over something we never really had that was any good or better than what we already got. Seriously folks.

Rindaris Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 I was thinking earlier and thought of a way to make Captains actually used. First, reduce their points by 10. So if you just wanted a basic captain without any of the following the points might be enough reason. But let them choose from the 3 following rules: +10 points: Rites of Battle +20 points: Heroic Intervention (Captain only) +30 points: Blackened Skies. All non-teleporting deepstriking BA units can use the DoA rule, not just jump pack units. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
