soots Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 So my friends and I are doing the crusade of fire campaign, and as an added twist we are supposed to make an HQ warlord from our codex. It can not be a special character, there is no points limit for the lord. So i was thinking of taking: Grand Master, mc psycannon, mc sword, rad and psychotroke grenades I was considering maybe mastery lvl 2, and the orbital strike relay what do you guys think and who would you take?

Squark Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Clarify something- You're still paying points for him in the list, right? If not, stick every bit of wargear you can on him (Unless there's a reason not to that I'm unaware of). If you are still paying points for him in the list, though, I feel like there's a number of adjustments to make 1) Hammer > Sword. AP 2 is really important. If you don't bring the Hammer, though, you really, really, really need to spend the 5 points you would spend on it on melta bombs instead. 2) 50 points for a Master crafted Psycannon is 50 points for a weapon you're already spamming elsewhere. I highly recommend the Incinerator over it, since it's cheap here and isn't in Strike Knights. 3) Mastery Level 2 is iffy (All it does is stack hammerhand with your squad while still using your force weapon. Nice, but is it really worth 35 points?) THe Orbital Strike Relay, though, is a trap. Grey Knight's are playing mobile midrange. The Strike Relay is the antithesis of that. Personally, if I were to create my own HQ for this, I'd go with a Librarian set up like so; Grey Knights Librarian -200 points -Warding Stave, Digital Weapons, Empyrean Brain Mines -Divination Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/270568-make-an-hq/#findComment-3295680 Share on other sites More sharing options...

treadhead Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 i usually run either GM+ psybolt ammo, halberd (or sword) rad and psycho nades accompanied by a troops termie squad in a land raider crusader Or Librarian+ psybolt ammo, stave, 3 servo skulls, lvl 3 with sanctuary, summoning and shrouding usually in a storm raven with my purifiers (cue either ride of the valkryies or the airwolf theme depending upon your tastes ) but i also use purgation squads with psilencers Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/270568-make-an-hq/#findComment-3296036 Share on other sites More sharing options...
soots Posted February 4, 2013 Author Share Posted February 4, 2013 yea i was thinking about switching to the hammer instead of the sword. I used the psycannon for the GM, because i always hit on 2s and most of the time wond on 2s, as well as precision strikes is a nice bonus the campaign's warlord is separate from the total list's points total, so you can jack up the warlord to what ever you want Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/270568-make-an-hq/#findComment-3298467 Share on other sites More sharing options...
