Drunken Aussie Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 With the release of 7th ed and new psychic powers is Hector Rex worth it. I love his fluff and model. I plan on running Purifiers but as Crowe is squishy i was thinking of having him my warlord. With mastery lvl 2 and a storm shield (2++ save potentially) he is more killy at 5 strength 6 attacks and tanky than Coteaz.. thoughts?

Captain Coolpants Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 I haven't got his rules in from of me, but isn't he like 175 points and you have to give him a retinue for extra points? So practically 200 points, yet still only a toughness 3 model without eternal warrior? If that's the case id rather pass. Be better off with a brother captain with a warding stave.

Gentlemanloser Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 He currently can't be used, as his rules are out of date. Sanctuary, Dark Excommunication and Holocaust no longer exist. Hopefully FW will update him for 7th. Of course, you can houserule him any way you want. Edit: His Warlord ability is also totally redundant. He's scoring by default. Maybe FW will update it to give him Objective Secured.

librisrouge Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Forgeworld sent me an email that basically says to play him as any other lvl 2 inquisitor as far as powers. Nothing on his trait but I wouldn't have him as warlord.

Kenderleech Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 My local group houseruled him to the standard inquisitor tables, plus his Immovable object.. to be the warlord trait of the same name from the 7th ed book. So, fearless and it will not die. Not awesome, but fun to throw around. No he doesnt have to buy a retinue. That is solomon lock.. whos retinue is Included in his price... which is an awesome deal, because its 102 point retinue, plus his 75ish points of wargear, plus his better then stock inquisitor statline.. for less then half that cost.

Reclusiarch Darius Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 175 points...damn. That's nearly twice Coteaz ;) . In all seriousness, don't use his terrible half-baked rules, use the rules for a Grandmaster with a nemesis sword and rad grenades.

Reclusiarch Darius Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Where is it your getting this? i can only see st 4 with 5 attacks at most? Agreed, he has a storm shield so he can't get the 2x ccw bonus, and unless you roll 'Hammerhand' (assuming you're houseruling him to have Sanctic Discipline), he can't get above S4. As I said earlier, everything Rex does, a Grandmaster does so much better. I like his model but Forge World wrote his rules back before we got updated. He's terrible.

Captain Coolpants Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Truuuue dat! For a forgeworld model... He's seriously bad lol. Forgeword are usually bordering overpowered. This guy....

Not really. The R'vana and some of the super heavies are maybe a bit strong, but honestly most FW is expensive and sometimes quite mediocre. They have never created anything as obnoxious as Heldrakes, Oblits, or Riptides (the R'vana was their take on one, GW created the original monster). Their characters are usually terrible, so its not that surprising Rex is bad.

Captain Coolpants Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 They have cheap sky fire/interceptor dreadnoughts with dual twin linked lascannons, predators that fire 3 plasma blasts without getting hot, that's also ultra cheap, large melta cannon blast tanks for like 120pts and 3 hyperios sentry guns..... , alllllll waaaay undercoated, none of these are over 145 points. And thats just Marines and off the top of my head. Its definitely a common theme with vehicles anyway. Just would expect them to do the same with characters lol Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/292989-lord-inquisitor-hector-rex/#findComment-3753412 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reclusiarch Darius Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 They have cheap sky fire/interceptor dreadnoughts with dual twin linked kheres assault cannons FTFY ;) I love the Contemptor Mortis, but it still gets shredded by HP loss like any Dread. AV13 makes it a bit harder to pull off (plus the occasional 6+ invul you might make), but not insurmontable. He's also not cheap at all. predators that fire 3 plasma blasts without getting hot, Leman Russ Executioners are in regular 40k and don't break the game. (shrug) that's also ultra cheap, large melta cannon blast tanks for like 120pts and 3 hyperios sentry guns..... , alllllll waaaay undercoated, none of these are over 145 points. And thats just Marines and off the top of my head. Its definitely a common theme with vehicles anyway. Just would expect them to do the same with characters lol Which tank is that? I think you're talking about one of the super-heavies, which is most definitely not 120 points lol. Hyperios are strong but there are similiar forifications in normal 40k thanks to Stronghold (shrug) immobile firepower is nice but it won't win you games on its own. The only really obnoxious character from GW is Loth, and that's because their lead designer created the Red Scorpions from whole cloth and likes making them strong.

Captain Coolpants Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 The predator infurnus can can have a Magna melta cannon for 30 pts, and the infurnus itself with an ap3 Flamer is only 90pts. I actually want to try using then with allies or something haha.

Is that from 30k though? People might be iffy about that. Still, its only a Predator though Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/292989-lord-inquisitor-hector-rex/#findComment-3757917 Share on other sites More sharing options...

BladeGaurd Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 I love his model and need to paint it up, but if you want an inquisitor I prefer a normal OM or OH to him or Coteaz due to customization, I know the heresy a GK player that is not in love with Coteaz. If you want hand to hand any knight character is better even without the storm shield. The main issue I find with Hector Rex is that he is tooled for hand to hand, and unless I am sticking him with a crusader/death cult/arcio flagellants, preferably in a land raider, his is not living up to what he does. If you want a Hand to Hand Inquisitor then he is probably the best there is. If your goal is to run 2 inquisitors or run a Coteaz 6 Henchman Squad Knight army (but then why are you not doing the inquisition and through the pretense of being grey knight out the window) he might be a good secondary.

Reclusiarch Darius Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 If you want a Hand to Hand Inquisitor then he is probably the best there is. Lol, he's barely better than a Justicar in melee. Even the TDA Inquisitor outfights him, at 60 points cheaper no less. The storm shield helps him live longer, but he just doesn't kill enough.
