Blood Reaver Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Do sanguinary priests still have Exsanguinator? I see it pop up in some of the other online codex for blood angels but fail to see it on my pdf of the 5th edition. Was this removed or is something wrong with the pdf i have?

CaptainHelion Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 My Codex states that Sanguinary Priests are equipped with Blood Chalices which provides the blessing. There's a bit of fluff that says that BA Narcethium have a shard of a Chalice within, so that even if the Priest doesn't have a Chalice-proper, the blessing is not lost.

SnorriSnorrison Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 If you don't want your Priest to look like blinged-up lil' Johns, the Exsanguinator, or Narthecium, is still a valid choice. There's no point in having a giant, blood-filled cup on a battlefield and let your wounded drink from it like it was a special potion displayed in the Asterix comics. The Exsanguinator is a Narthecium, however the name was lost when we got updated to the pdf-codex. Same mechanics, but we were brought in line with C:SM, so that's the only reason why the Exsanguinator doesn't exist under this name anymore. :P Some d-bags argue from time to time that, without the wargear Blood Chalice in the codex, your Priest is not allowed to provide his FnP/FC bubble...if you are in this unlucky position of playing against one of them, smack him. With your codex, with the rulebook, and with the dreadsock(old metal furioso in a sock B) ) because that's not good sportsmanship, especially since it states in the codex that the true chalices are very rare, so shards of them are kept in the Narthecii and still provide the same boni.

Blood Reaver Posted December 28, 2012 Author Share Posted December 28, 2012 i think i might of misstated my question a little, i was actually asking if the sanguinary priests also provided the Exanguinator buff (ignore a failed save on one model within 6' range" ontop of the blood chalice buff for feel no pain because i am making a twin angel list. Blood angel death companies supported by Sammael and ravenwings. Im having trouble deciding whether i should take both apothecaries AND Sanguinary Priests on bikes to provide both buffs for my army or if Sanguinary Priests can fit the bill on his own.

Brother apocalyptic Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 I dont think he does, as he doesnt have the narthecium-wargear. He only buffs with FNP and FC, but only to fellow Blood angels, Dark angels are not able to get those buffs, its been faq'ed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainHelion Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Definitely not. Sanguinary priests only have the Blood Chalice (Although it can be represented in WYSIWYG as a Narcethium). As Brother apocalyptic said, the Blood Chalice only provides the FNP and FC bubble, and only provides it to Blood Angel units. You'll need to bring in Dark Angel Apothecaries to do whatever it is that they do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blood Reaver Posted December 28, 2012 Author Share Posted December 28, 2012 Says in the codex that the sanguinary priest FnC and FC bubble works for all friendlies within 6', with Battle Brother allies in the 6th edition shouldn't it still work for the Dark Angels (battle brother relationship) too? Update: Never mind, its on the Blood Angel 6th edition Amendments stating that it only works with allies chosen from the Blood Angel codex, damn that sucks =( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenith Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 i was actually asking if the sanguinary priests also provided the Exanguinator buff (ignore a failed save on one model within 6' range" ontop of the blood chalice buff for feel no pain because No. The Exsanguinator was the blood angels name for the modified Narthecium, that allowed a blood transfusion directly from the priest, as opposed to simply administering drugs. Since the new codex, this rule has been replaced with the Blood Chalice, which provides an aura. The simple answer is this: If it is not in the codex...then it is not in the codex and you cannot use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black_Sky Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 On a similar note. Dark Angels are getting their codex updated in january, so the current one is getting outdated soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kickrock Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Definitely not. Sanguinary priests only have the Blood Chalice (Although it can be represented in WYSIWYG as a Narcethium). As Brother apocalyptic said, the Blood Chalice only provides the FNP and FC bubble, and only provides it to Blood Angel units. You'll need to bring in Dark Angel Apothecaries to do whatever it is that they do. So, I've never played in a tournament that was WYSIWYG. Well, we won't allow proxies (These Necrons are filling in for some missing Orks) but they don't care that I use IPs as Melta Guns on my Assault Squads and that all of my shooty Nobz and Flash Gits make apperances as Lootas. Assault Squads with Jump Packs in a Razorback, we're just pretending they're not there. That kind of thing. As long as its consistant! That being said, the lore says that (don't ask me to find a reference) a Priest may not have a grail, but is depicted in his wargear. Such as a grail on his armor, back pack or weapon. That is how all of my preists are modeled. Salvaged peices from Sanguinary Guard and Death Company kits with the Grail on the armor. Paint red, white trim / helm. Bam! Priest! No one has ever objected. So, if I roll into a WYSIWYG Area, knowing that my Jump Packs and IPs won't fly, will the Priest fly or would someone go "No! Thats just a Jump packless Assualt Marine! HE NEEDS A CUP!" Cause... there are "those guys" out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainHelion Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 It should be fine, I think. But as you say, there are always "those guys" out there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother apocalyptic Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 i wouldnt reject, as long as you can see the difference between the priest and other models. If he would be the exact mirror of a regular assault marine, just painted different, Im ok with it, as the regular sanguinary priest doenst either come with the chalice, I wont require any homemade to either!
