tjdudey Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Ves Heill Brothers, Second post here, I do not want to publicly call into question the abilities and supremacy of our revered champions, but I must ask, if anyone can tell me why ay of the SW Unique Character are worth their points cost? Specifically comparing Njal to a Rune Priest, (Or 2 even), and Canis Wolfborn to a Wolf Lord on Thunderwolf Mount? Even the mighty Logan Grimnar appears to not do much for his enourmous point cost. Am I missing something important? Thanks in advance. Tom Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/286970-character-point-costs/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rune Priest Jbickb Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Something to keep in mind is that our current codex was written in 5th edition where many of the abilities of the special characters did merit their points. It is likely that with the coming of a 6th edition codex that the special characters will get a price drop. Sadly the only special character that I see get lots of play, at least on the forum, is Logan as he unlocks wolf guard troops.

DanPesci Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Im with jbickb on that logan is really the only named character worth his points anymore. Having wolf guard as troops is nice and his 'choose an ability a turn' is useful. The +1 attack to everything in 18" can be hilarious if timed right. But i still only tend to run him in large games. I take arjac every now and then but hes still fairly expensive for a 2 wound model at nearly 200pts. but he throws S10 thunder hammers. Which is hilarious. The rest i unfortunately never take: Bjorn - can get glanced to death too easy, never sure how to run him Ulrik - for less points, a standard wolf priest is more flexible Njal - interesting powers, but lots of points Lukas - too many points, and you have to take him in bloodclaws, which arent as good as grey hunters Canis - only a 3+ save, no invunerable, no eternal warrior Hopefully if we get a new codex this summer points costs should come down, and be more in line with other recent releases Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/286970-character-point-costs/#findComment-3597036 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Castellan Michael Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Same here, Logan n large games, but Arjac is still fun especially with all the new robotech monsters I see in games as of late. Everyone else will have to wait for a new dex, the 5th edition points costs are to high. Are we still up for a new codex this year?
