Ah-a-nothepsis Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 I have just tested the new paints. Lamenters it shall be. Will probably snow base them like my Wolves/Thousand Sons. Suggestions for HQ? Will be using 40 assault marines in Rhinos and with Jump Packs, Baals, Autolas preds. Watch out for the yellow snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesI Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 well, the fluffy answer is Seth. I find Librarians the best HQ choice, I also really like Dante or Astorath in the right designed lsit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atlantic Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 I haven't used him in awhile, but Seth is despicable. He is a mean dude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vodunius Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 well, the fluffy answer is Seth. Er, since when did the Flesh Tearers Chapter Master go round leading contingents of Lamenters? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lestat Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 well, the fluffy answer is Seth. Er, since when did the Flesh Tearers Chapter Master go round leading contingents of Lamenters? Thats what I was just thinking too........ There are always the IA books for fluff and I'm sure there will be Lamenters characters in there.

Res Ipsa Loquitur Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Best all-round HQ is the Librarian IMO. Okay combat ability, decent buffs and psychic defence to boot. Since you're going with Rhinos/JPs however, I'm doubting you want to put him in TDA which means that he'll lack an invulnerable save and so might be a bit... erm, well, vulnerable, I guess. Want a decent beat-stick with some okay buffs? Go for the Reclusiarch. Want a pretty good beat-stick and don't care about buffs? Take a Captain. Are Special Characters an option?

Vodunius Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 If Forge World is an option then there's the Lamenters Chapter Master Malakim Phoros in Imperial Armour 9 (ruleswise he's basically a souped-up footslogging Reclusiarch with an Infernus pistol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesI Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 well, the fluffy answer is Seth. Er, since when did the Flesh Tearers Chapter Master go round leading contingents of Lamenters? This is why I shouldn't post late at night. I thought he asked for Flesh Tearers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pavement Artist Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 I run Malakim with an honour guard squad. The combination of the chapter banner plus the extra strength and attack boost he gets after taking a wound means he hits like the proverbial brick in the marigold glove. On paper he doesn't look as immediately destructive as other special characters but trust me, with the right support he can do a lot of hurt.

awfulawful Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Killing time until the new CSM codex is out? Painting all that yellow should certainly help with that. :cry: You will like the BA codex, troops that can actually assault. What a concept. For an HQ, you can't go wrong with a librarian.

vonny Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 yea, IA9 has malakim phoros, chapter master of the lamenters, which is cool of course. Otherwise, a librarian or a reclusiarch are both viable options. I'd advise against the chapter master, because he's only 15 points cheaper than a reclusiarch (if you count the power weapon), has the same stats, but no buffs. nice to see you in here as well, Ah-a-nothepsis ;) I hope the new paints fall in nicely with my current lamenters...

The Crimson Cartel Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 well, the fluffy answer is Seth. Er, since when did the Flesh Tearers Chapter Master go round leading contingents of Lamenters? This is why I shouldn't post late at night. I thought he asked for Flesh Tearers. ^ You mean SHE... ;) Ah-a I think a counts as Seth could be a cool option, as he does kick serious butt and you don't see him much. But if you are going jumpers, a counts as Dante, or a Libby/Reclusiarch with a Jump Pack will do nicely.' -CC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Semper Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Any otherGreek speaker thinks Malakim Phoros is a really funny name? Like really funny? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DV8 Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 I'm going to shamelessly advert my own Lamenters. It's good to show off every once in a while right? Besides, everybody needs good reference! Lamenters Gallery *Direct URL to my website, they should be at the very top* I know you'll have a lot of fun painting Lamenters; gorgeous, sharp color scheme, lots of freedom for freehand and a nice crisp checkerboard pattern will allow your army to really pop. Plus painting bleeding hearts is always fun, right? DV8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregornet Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 I've been trying to find a recipe for Lamenters yellow that I am happy with. When I do, I'll be starting my own detachment. I did proxy Phoros in a game a while back and ran him with an honour guard. It worked really well, he was a fun and flavorful character to use. On a side note, I wonder if there would be any interest in Lamenters logo dice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
