Sanguis militis Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Title says it all pretty well. In the two years I've been playing 40k, with the sons of Sanguinis being the only army I have collected and played, I have very rarely used librarians and when i did they seemed a colossal waste of points. So brothers I ask, how the :cuss do you go about using them?? Especially in an assault oriented, jump assault list? My army looks sorta like this: Reclusiarch Corbulo Multiple full assault squads with JP 2 stormravens and 2 furiosos in Lucius pods or on the ravens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanguis militis Posted April 17, 2013 Author Share Posted April 17, 2013 Let me be a little more clear: should I stick with codex powers? Divination? Mephy with biomancy? Any good tactics with the assault squads/ assault termites? No matter how I look at it chaplains and priests are more reliable and better support Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolemai Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 I'm guessing you want a non-bias response as you have posted it here rather than on the BA boards? Personally if playing Blood Angels, there is no better HQ choice. Be it using the Codex powers for Shield of Sanguinius or using the BRB powers for Divination you will find them the staple of most lists, especially in jump lists.

Sanguis militis Posted April 17, 2013 Author Share Posted April 17, 2013 Exactly I was looking for opinions from BA players and our opponents. I'm trying really hard to put them into my tournament list so I can abuse my opponents with mephiston but psykers' strengths in general just seem to be lost on me (maybe templars shoulda been my army?) what makes them such a great choice for any space marine army - blood angel jump lists especially?

Jolemai Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 For the record I speak from a BA perspective. For us, Librarians are force multipliers and that is why we take them. Our Captains offer us very little and with Divination, our Librarians can do what our Reclusiarch/Chaplains do but every player turn rather than just on the charge. As for Mephiston, he is best suited for eating troops and tanks. Make sure he is supported and don't send him against AP2 targets... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giga Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Mephiston needs codex powers because otherwise he'll never get into combat (too slow). Regular librarians are good with divination. Prescience is really awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CitadelArmyGuy Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 For BA, a standard Librarian is the best non-Mephiston HQ available. All of my BA lists utilize either a Libby (friendlier lists) or Mephiston (more competitive lists) Also follow the link for food for thought: http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/263985-librarian-powers/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
