Sanct Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 When I field a praetor (and i'm doing it less and less as I tool up the troops) paragon blade, power fist, iron halo. 5 pts more than the digital lasers version but same attacks and has a bit more utility. If i don't need him as infantry I take paragon blade, digital lasers or powerfist , combat shield, bike. Who cares about a powerfist if you're toughness 5? Disclaimer: He's EC so he usually takes a screamer. Who cares about anyone so long as you're hitting first? (if only cos you have to challenge someone) Failing that I take Sevatar. Who cares about anything if you're a dishonourable, psychic, sociopath?

Max Power Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Always run the thunder hammer. When that pansy with the paragon blade fails to wound you, paste him. Then do the same to his Contemptors, his tanks, his elite units, and his pride. All hail thunder hammer.

KBA Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 I'm just glad the Storm Shield hasn't been invented and issued to every single commander yet.

Oh, I've met him. Can't get that smell of rotten cheese out of my nose I don't mind that so much since you have to run 10th to get those familiars, but I will feel sorry for you guys when the Iron Hands become that army. Super power armor standard and an awesome RoW. Well done! EDIT: Forgot about the Sallies and their proto storm shields!

Noctus Cornix Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Nothing rotten about it. Its 15 points per familiar and you have to already have an inv save for it to be effective. Iron Hands are supposed to be tough as hell.... One day I'll get to make them...

TemujinZero Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 You have to be cateful with a Night Lords Praetor. If he bites it you have mass morale checks to worry about.

Armond Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 The rule of cool has always appealed to me. My thoughts on this is to have my Night Lords Praetor in Cataphractii Terminator Armour with Chainglaive(or as I now like to call, the murderglaive) and whatever else I feel like. I guess an Iron Halo or whatever else for some survivability. Midnight Clad and lightning clad, murderglaive in hand dripping with blood, monstrous Cataphractii armour heaved upon his shoulders, with various... trophies adorning his fear-invoking totality. Imagine him standing there atop a small outcrop, overlooking a hive city from above, preparing for a night of terror. He isn't worried about being seen, he wants to be seen. Let his troops prep the stage and mind the backdrop... He is making designs on this next work of art... Fluff for me is just an awesome way to build your guy. I just hope the above equipment is legal. Thoughts? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/285751-best-praetor/page/2/#findComment-3572417 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Keyaetus Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 My Iron Hand Praetor has the Iron Father upgrade, Iron Halo, plasma pistol, digital weapons, single lightning claw (because it looks awesome and I'm kinda sick of paragon blades...though he does always get stuck with 2+ armour save opponents...go go servo arm!), and cyber familar...which may be included in the Iron Father upgrade, I forget. The model for him looks nearly 70% bionic too....the flesh is weak!

Terimus Posted January 18, 2014 Author Share Posted January 18, 2014 It all depends on your army composition, IMO. I equip mine with the following: Cataphractii Terminator Armor, Master-Crafter POwer Scythe / Paragon Blade, Digital Laser, and Volkite Charger. Works well with my Pride of the Legion force, but if I was fielding say... an Assault Troop army, he'd be useless. What's the rest of your army like? I've fielded an infantry army in 2 battles (2 terror squads, 2 terminator squads, 20 man tac, 5 man raptors, and 3 man outrider), but I'm also making an all terminator Atramentar list Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/285751-best-praetor/page/2/#findComment-3572595 Share on other sites More sharing options...
