*Furyou Miko Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 "Swooping... is bad." - Brother Alister of the Grey Knights. Among every army, every force, every group there are those who lie outside the bell curve. Until Birmingham, Alister was not one of those individuals. An easygoing (comparatively) man with a near-constant cheer, many of his Brothers found him more aggravating than uplifting, despite the occasional quickly-suppressed smirk of amusement at his battlefield commentary. On Birmingham, that changed. His unit were cut off and besieged by a horde of bloodletters - normally easy pickings for a Grey Knight squad, but there were thousands of them. The brothers fought their way through the horde towards Crowe's battlegroup, making steady process until a pair of cackling bloodthirsters swept down upon them, snatching up two knights apiece before dashing them into the ground. In an act of desperation, Alister took up a chain that had been wrapped around a bloodletter's corded body and used it to lasso one of the greater daemons, hauling it to the ground so that he could finish the job with his force halberd. The remaining brothers fought their way back to friendly lines, but Alister's mind was no longer completely on the battle. When next her deployed against the daemon, he would be prepared. He would have Skygrasper.

Missile Pack: Alister's Missile Pack is a modified Cyclone Missile Launcher he received as a gift after assisting a Deathwing squad that had been caught unawares by a Tzeentch daemon prince. Skygrasper: Skygrasper is a modified chainfist that has had the blade mounting replaced with a high-powered harpoon gun that fires a foot-long, rocket-powered truesilver dart trailing a length of adamantine-alloy chain. Upon piercing the target, piston-powered hooks force their way out sideways into whatever has been struck, making it impossible to remove without inflicting wounds that would be lethal to any mortal. Any Flying Monstrous Creature struck by Skygrasper must roll d6 + 1/2 it's strength score. Alister rolls d6 + his strength score. If the Flying Monstrous Creature rolls higher, Alister is forced to release the chain may not shoot with any weapon next turn as he fits a new one. If Alister wins the roll, the Flying Monstrous Creature is immediately Grounded. Alister may also use Skygrasper as a power fist in the assault phase, but may not apply the strength bonus to his opposed roll.

Chengar Qordath Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Three new HGR threads. Somebody's feeling inspired... While he's nice and characterful I can't help but think he seems a bit expensive for what he can do. Hard to say for sure though, since balancing anything for 6th edition is a bit tricky right now. Also, props for the Dragon Age reference. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/255241-brother-alister/#findComment-3105669 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll tell you why he's so expensive. >< I forgot to subtract the price of the terminator he's replacing.
