PensacolaWarhammer Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 I've returned with another tactica for the Horus Heresy. This weeks tactica goes of the Legion Apothecary. You can read the full story at my blog, PensacolaWarhammer. It's not a very long post as there are not a lot of option the Apothecary can take. It's basically what squad do you want to have Feel No Pain.

AekoldHelbrass Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Ok, have you actually used them? Can you share some real-life experience playing HH with Apothecaries against enemy who doesn't have them?

Durfast Spiritwolf Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 What's not good about giving a twenty strong squad FNP for 45pts? Even if you add AA, which I would recommend, it still comes down to less than 3pts per figure. ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/275871-horus-heresy-tactica-legion-apothecarion-detachment/#findComment-3378431 Share on other sites More sharing options...
PensacolaWarhammer Posted May 24, 2013 Author Share Posted May 24, 2013 Thanks for the replies. I don't think the Apothecary is a bad unit. I personally think it's one of the better choices between the HQ but not like the the Techmarine. To clarify what I was saying in my article, there's not really any stand out stratagy or build for this unit. It really is just a matter of what squad you want to have Feel No Pain. @Durfast Spiritwolf I won't deny giving a twent strong squad Feel No Pain is not a good think, but when compaired to how many points you are playing at and how many choices there are for each Force Organization slot, you might not see that many Apothecaries. @AekoldHelbrass I don't have any Apothecaries in my army yet; I been trying out the myrid of other units that are unique to the Horus Heresy book. However, with the experience I have with standard codex Apothecaries, I can say they are a nice unit to have, and I will be adding a couple of Apothecaries once I settle on what my core army is going to consist of.

TheForgottenAngel Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 If we assume that every list takes generally 2X 20Man Squads (Lets face it why wouldn't you?!) Thats 40 bodies getting FnP from a single Apothecary. In the games I've played against beefed up Eldar and another HH enthusiast they made back their points from FnP saves. HH has the ability to field some devastating weaponry and I never leave home without 2 Apothecaries in Artificer.

Durfast Spiritwolf Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 I take it you mean twenty bodies from a single Apothecary, C_W, as he has to be attached to a single squad and the Narthecium gives FNP to that unit only. I'm sure that's what you meant, but didn't want anyone else getting confused :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/275871-horus-heresy-tactica-legion-apothecarion-detachment/#findComment-3378999 Share on other sites More sharing options...
