ravenshard42 Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 I know that Mephiston is extremely popular, but does anyone ever trade out his powers and if so for what? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/288050-mephiston-powers/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durundal Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Biomancy. I go for iron arm, endurance, warpspeed, enfeeble, and lifeleech Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/288050-mephiston-powers/#findComment-3620786 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronhour Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Biomancy. I go for iron arm, endurance, warpspeed, enfeeble, and lifeleech Biomancy. I go for iron arm, endurance, warpspeed, enfeeble, and lifeleech this. People have suggested divination but you could end with some iffy ones (ignores cover or criers) though foreboding forewarning and precognition would be very nice.

knife&fork Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 I'd roll on Biomancy first. If you hit something you really like to use against that particular opponent you can then go for a single roll on divination or telepathy.

Demus Ragnok Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Got a ref for that? Got pulled for that in my Apoc match... Cant remember page number but its on the page just before the Biomancy table where rolling for powers is discussed. Says something along the lines of " second and subsequent powers need not be from the same school" or something like that.

thebymster Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Got a ref for that? Got pulled for that in my Apoc match... Cant remember page number but its on the page just before the Biomancy table where rolling for powers is discussed. Says something along the lines of " second and subsequent powers need not be from the same school" or something like that. In dex faq, p2 it says: "A Blood Angels Librarian (including Mephiston) May use the psychic disciplines.... Biomancy, Divination, Telepathy or Telekenisis ( in any combination)" If that helps. but isn't there a bigger argument over how many he can generate?

RenderDead Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 I've really wanted to try using other spell trees other than our book, this next tourney I will pull the trigger and see how it goes. I just want to mix it up a little. Either telepathy or biomancy has my interest.

ravenshard42 Posted March 14, 2014 Author Share Posted March 14, 2014 Wings is the one that really makes it a tough choice with me, I think iron arm would more than make up for the loss of sword I would think. How do you guys deal with the loss of mobility? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/288050-mephiston-powers/#findComment-3621767 Share on other sites More sharing options...
knife&fork Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 A storm raven. I think Mephiston needs a storm raven period, even with wings. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/288050-mephiston-powers/#findComment-3621811 Share on other sites More sharing options...

knife&fork Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Just wanted to add that I played a game with Mephiston using BRB powers today. I rolled both Iron arm and endurance on biomancy. With both those in effect he was virtually unkillable, that high toughness and long list of special rules makes him even more of a beast. In fact, since I started to use a storm raven taxi and rolls on biomancy I've only lost him once (thanks to some very cold dice and lots of bladestorm). It used to be that he got fragged about half the games if not more.

Kanis Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 I'm glad this thread popped up as I had just found and bought a great deal on a Mephiston! I was sitting down and viewing all those options open to him now with BRB powers, and just from what is being said and that reading...Biomancy is scary on him for sure. I'd love to try and keep his Wings and roll twice on Biomancy, that would still get him decent abilities right?

IK Viper Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 I honeslty worry alot about what they will do with Meph in the next codex. His role will totally change if he has to stick only with book powers and does not get to move 12. Hope he gets some way of still moving 12 inches a turn. My ultimate hope is that they will just make him a FMC... lol that would be rediculous. But also super cool. Just so long as he is pointed correctly (more than he is now if your giving him FMC status) it would be fair and cool. Then he would be 40k Superman.
