An Eldar had fired a Dark Lance at the scout and Master Cynol appeared and blocked the shot. He was unharmed from the blast.

Storm Shield Frag and Krak Genardes Special Rules: Eternal Warrior TSKNF Chapter Tatics: When you include Chapter Master Thane Cynol in your army all units in the Combat Tatics rule change it out for Feel no Pain. Rite of Battle Oritbal Broadment. Point Cost: 300 One thing i definitely recommend changing is having Feel No Pain AND Eternal Warrior. I'd give him one or the other but not both. many players will rage at that kinda of resilience for one character. I think his stat line is fine for the points he costs. i'd probably take off the gets hot on the shooting attack (It's only 2 shots at AP3 and short range after all. Other than that seems like a good character. I'd also think over the conferring Feel No Pain to the entire army with combat tactics and maybe change it to something like ; elite/fast attack choices may take feel no pain at 5pts per model when in an army led by the chapter Master. Entire Armies with Feel No pain can also be a sore point for players, especially if its basicaly free. I like the relic armor idea and the lightning claw ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/236112-sons-of-orion-chapter-master/#findComment-2844555 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elric the Silvercoat Posted August 11, 2011 Author Share Posted August 11, 2011 I did some changes and I reduced the point cost because of some of the changes.

rpnightsend Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 He's fairly balanced. Would you mind cleaning up the grammar a bit? I don't understand some of the things you're trying to say like "gives the USR counter-attack." Is that just to him or to everyone in his squad?

I don't understand some of the things you're trying to say like "gives the USR counter-attack." Is that just to him or to everyone in his squad? I meant it to be him and the squad he has joined. I have fixed it and it is worded the way I meant now. (Sometimes when you have an idea in you head it doesn't get worded the same as what it meant.)

Race Bannon Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Those stats are outrageously awesome for his points, never mind gear and skills. He's easily 300+ points in my book (not that my book is official :P) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/236112-sons-of-orion-chapter-master/#findComment-2845378 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Race Bannon Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 I'm sure he will beat A LOT of face with his bare hands alone :o He's still worth more than 300 points IMO. I mean, other people have to fight against him, not me - so really it's their call.
