Arihman

[Panda_]

I'd like to play Arhiman (or try to).

 

Mainly, I'm choosing him over a Sorceror for the infiltration, his 5I and his 3W. However, I'm not using TS. Which means, I'm probably paying too much points for its worth because :

1. I'm "paying" to turn TS into troops, but I don't use them
   
2. He is generally considered too expensive for his worth.
   

 

What should be the plan to use him best ? What's his edge that I should focus upon ? Is there some tricky synergy with the rest of the codex ?

 

Thanks for your feedback :-)

AN idea in the ascendant forum is him leading a force of mainly cultists, Terminator units and the odd helldrake or Obliterators/havoks, the termis with combi plasma.

How is he too expensive? Add up the upgrades for a sorc. I come out around 240 just counting wargear and special rules, not including the fixed warlord trait or stat increases. This guy is a bargin.

 

I priced the non standard stuff as:

 

Inferno bolts- Equivalent to a plasma pistol on sorc.

Staff- Equivalent to the brand.

Fearless- Equivalent cost of IoV on a squad.

 

You could lower those points and still come out more after stat differences.
