How do you Arm your Praetor?

Recommended Posts

Well, though I havent got a praetor yet Im planning to arm him with a boarding shield and a power sword and have him charge into combat in the head of a breacher squad for that massive hammer impact.

 

Your combination of power weapon and pistol is good too, faster and  +1 attack in CC. Good against large numbers.

I like (from designing and building a list, I haven't had the chance to play) master crafted paragon blade, digital weapons, combi bio letter and iron halo.

 

That give 5(6) S5 AP2 murderous strike attacks at initiative, rerolling one failed miss. all for 190 pts.

 

The paragon blade is only 10 pts more that a power axe, and it loses the cumbersome rule, in return it is a specialist weapon (losing you 1 attack). This is an amazing offer in an environment filled with artificer armour and terminator plate

 

AfroCampbell, I also don't see the point of a boarding shield, though some people like them for the defensive grenades they give the squad, and they can be paired with the paragon blade

My Salamanders Praetor has a master crafted paragon weapon with built in volkite charger, he also wears a mantle of the eternal drake that makes him an Eternal Warrior. A long with other bits and pieces like Digital weapon and Iron Halo, he can both dish out a good amount of damage but also withstand more than most praetors can.

Depends on how many points you want to spend and what Legion you take.

 

 

I originally used and still like:

+paragon blade, plasma pistol, refractor field, digi lasers

 

 

First of all I use the uncommon plasma pistol because I dont want to waste the bs5 precision shot that the praetor has.

 

Second of all, I would add an Iron halo, but my points dont allow for it.

 

 

If point cost is not a problem...then I would advise the uberpraetor:

+jetbike, iron halo, paragon blade, digi lasers

When I get to making my Iron Hands, if I'm not using Iron-Father Autek Mor as my Praetor (which I most certainly will be often)

 

I will be using a Praetor with Specs along these lines

 

-Iron-Father

-Iron-Halo (Will model it as a Storm Shield)

-Cyber-Familiar

-Paragon Blade (Master Crafted)

 

That, my friends, is a Warlord with a 2+ Armour Save, a 3+ Invulnerable Save, and 6+ Feel No Pain.

 

To top it off, I'll be attaching him with a lovely command squad which I will grant them all combat shields with cyber familiars.

 

The entire squad will have 2+/4++ In close combat and still be allowed doubly armed.

 

What's not to love?

Paragon Blade, Bolter, Iron Halo, Digital Weapons.

The Paragon blade really is far and away the best weapon choice!

 

 

 

Agreed - is there a compelling reason to take a Power Axe over a Paragon Blade?

 

Even if it's for WYSIWYG purposes, the Paragon Blade fluff describes that they come in all forms.

 

 

Point taken, Paragon blade (master crafted ) it is then!
