Mogsam Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 I'm working on a small allied Space Marine army to go with my guardsmen + chimera heavy guard list. So far I have 5 teleporting terminators and 10 tactical marines in a drop pod planned. Now I'm going to lead with a captain in terminator armour and since the marvel that is Ebay exists I'm going to buy the bits I want in advance. What is the typical build for a terminator captain? It seems to either be default storm bolter + power sword or some sort of gigantic hammer. Since I'm playing Scythes of the Emperor I could go with a Scythe but i'm unsure what they would represent! The squad he will go with is armed with fists and storm bolters rather than combat weapons. Any help would be appreiciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulochromis Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 He can't sweep, he doesn't buff any units, including the one he's in - I'd be looking at a Librarian or Chaplain instead. I'd normally lean towards the Chaplain, but a Librarian with GateofInfinity might be a better match for your Tactical Terminators. If you must have a Captain, then Lysander is the goto choice.

Kua Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 A scythe would count as an axe, I’d guess, just as halberds do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkGuard Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Power swords are OK not great. With the great protection of TDA I'd consider dual lightning claws or a power axe or power fist or similar. I still think TDA is a waste of points though when artificer armour is cheaper and gives access to the relic blade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mogsam Posted September 18, 2012 Author Share Posted September 18, 2012 Fair enough. I will do it anyway since I don't play in a massively competitive environment (my tyranid 1,500 point army doesn't have a single gun and does alright against most people) Thanks for the advice though. I'll probably pop a scythe on him and call it an axe. When I was looking through some of the codex it seems to let you pick dual thunder hammers?! I imagine it's pointless but possible?

Kua Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 It is, both of it, look here. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garreth Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 I think now it is better to use combo powerfist+lightning claw. You have +1 and can choose which to use every fight subphase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
