Angelus Mortifer

Recommended Posts

Since you asked (although he link has been posted in multiple threads already, I guess not everyone looks at Amicus first when they visit the board :) )

Much obliged :)

 

Well, I certainly hope we get it too, after all I already painted one! :teehee:

Also, the quad bolters are way more awesome than the autocannons^^

Very nice.

Sure thing! The cockpit is airbrushed and varnished smile.png I actually messed up a bit as it was the first time I used an airbrush, and accidentally "blew" away some layers of paint during the process, now the surface isn't completely smooth anymore as you can see :/ Luckily, it's not visible from most angles.

I only played him once, and it got shot down after only one round of shooting by a very very lucky autocannon :(

 

But it's awesome - the damage output is crazy. The main gun reliably puts 6 AP 3 wounds on infantry, the sponsons add 12 heavy bolter hits, and last but not least you get a S8 ordnance missile. Everything hits on 2s thanks to Strafing Run and you can force pinning tests on up to four different units!

Wait, you can pin 4 units?  How? Even with sponsons operating independently, isn't that only 3?

 

And reliably putting 6 wounds down at AP3 is nothing to sneeze at.  That's as good or better than a Heldrake, if your opponent is spread out and doesn't have cover.

Since we're awesome loyalists, we get the machine spirit ;) dirty heretics can only target 3 different units though. The main gun tears through everything without a 2+ save, it's really crazy.

Also, it's one of the prettiest models out there in my opinion, definitely worth the money :)

 

@Midnight Runner  If you paint it ambiguosly enough, you can use it for both loyalist and heretic armies ^^
