Hellios Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 Graviton Beamer: One shot S10 AP1 great you shoot tank, penetrate and destroy it, your lovely unit can no longer charge and must now take a turn of shooting on them, same goes if she is in a chimera ok she can shoot out the hatch but then that can be popped fairly easily in the next phase, again not impossible but you have to be very lucky... Pistol... shoot transport... blow transport up... charge dudes inside... Sure it is situational... but most things are... I admit she has downsides but all the Inquisitor special characters seem a bit meh for one reason or another... I reckon I would take her instead of Coteaz if she made henchmen troops.

Ashe Darke Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 Note the Hyperstone Maze says character not IC. You can single out Power Fist sergeants with it which isn't too bad.

Freman Bloodglaive Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 Except you're now using 140 points of Inquisitor to kill 55 points of Space Marine veteran sergeant. Let's look at it this way. In absolute terms a Brother Captain is as killy as a Grand Master, yet people will pay the 25 points difference because the Grand Master via grand strategy adds something to your army. Valeria costs 40 points more than Coteaz. Coteaz makes henchmen troops, and has an ability to shoot up reserves that appear too close to him. Valeria might kill a tank and/or some character. In my view you're actually paying more for less hence Coteaz is in my army (because without him my bitz box army wouldn't work) and Valeria isn't.

Ashe Darke Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 I wouldn't take her to exclusively do that tactic, in fact I wouldn't take her at all. My point was that it's not just MCs and ICs. It saying 'Character' opens up a lot more options for the Hyperstone Maze.

Valerian Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 She has a cool as hell name. She does. Unfortunately for me, her arrival made me change the name of the main character in my Grey Knights novel from Valerian to Hyperion. Sonofabitch, A D-B! You mean to tell me that I just shafted out of getting a Grey Knights main character named after me? In one of your novels? WARD!!!!
