Gentlemanloser Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Love him or hate him, Crowe does have a nice mini. ;) Plus Purifiers now have swag. But his rules are bad. :( So how can we enable him to get it done? Stronghold Assault. ;) Pick an Imperial Bunker (55) and deploy it right at the edge of your DZ. Purchase an Emergency Escape Hatch for it (25) and place that 12" away, as close to your opponent as possible. Now, you can start with Crowe in the Bunker, and a Squad of Devestator Centurion on the Battlements. First turn, Crowe disembarks via the Emergency Hatch, and moves 18" in total toward the enemy. And Novas. Your Centurion then embark the Bunker from the Battlements and all 4 of them use the fire point. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/293003-crowe-getting-it-done/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Coolpants Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Haha all that effort for 1 nova? That'll probably roll double 1 for shots haha. Crowe is just dead in my opinion, he's basically an even more useless version of the brother champion that has a stupid 'I'm a loner and everyone hates me'sword lol.

Kenderleech Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Crowe has the easiest fix of anything in our codex. all you have to do is put the word Independant from the rapier strike ability, and move it to be in front of the word character in his unit type. BAM auto-playable. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/293003-crowe-getting-it-done/#findComment-3730663 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valerian Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Yep, that would do it. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/293003-crowe-getting-it-done/#findComment-3730690 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenderleech Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 but my fix would also make him able to maintain himself in any challenge. it would drop the restriction on rapier strike to enable it to kersplat sargeants and shas'whathaveyous as well as captains and commanders Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/293003-crowe-getting-it-done/#findComment-3731489 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drunken Aussie Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 It would appear that the restriction on IC's joining Crowe has been removed. Atleast know he can have a body guard. Who would you guys use. Im thinking OMI with TDA and Psycannon or techmarine packing all the grenades Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/293003-crowe-getting-it-done/#findComment-3732458 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Coolpants Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 I thought an independent character can never join a unit that always contains only 1 model? You can include characters to mordrak IF he has a ghost guard though.

Im thinking OMI with TDA and Psycannon or techmarine packing all the grenadesI still wouldn't take Crowe, he only has 1 wound and his heroic sacrifice psychic ability is no more. If I had to chose though, I would pick a posse of inquisitors with various weapons and grenades.

Valerian Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 I thought an independent character can never join a unit that always contains only 1 model? Previous edition restriction. No longer applies in 7e. Still wouldn't take Crowe, though.

I'm frankly surprised they didn't Errata/Amend this back when 6e dropped and introduced the challenge system.

Gentlemanloser Posted June 30, 2014 Author Share Posted June 30, 2014 Hold on a minute. Unbound. Crowe + a bunch of Inquisitors and an IG Priest... Might not be too bad. (I'd totally missed that that restriction had gone! It's a big thing! ;) ) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/293003-crowe-getting-it-done/#findComment-3733074 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozshock Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 as far as tournaments go they all use Force org still...noone uses unbound that i have heard of and yeh used crowe the other day...charged him into the demons bull riding squad (cant remember the name lol)...kill 2 of them to shooting so only one of them left and he stayed there tanking him the whole game...1 attack per base model is :cuss...should be 2 attacks per base model capped at like 6 attacks or something...or giveing him independant would fix most of it ofc... i reckon that you give him base attacks...then add on any modifiers, like models in base contact or the D3 against independant/MC/Psyker and it would fix alot of his shotcomings... the idea with the imperial bunker is awesome...give you a place to hide that shooty henchmen unit...or the vindicare/dreadnought...and then crowe pops out in the middle of the enemy...its a way to force them to castle away from the hatch too just make sure you have some blasts :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/293003-crowe-getting-it-done/#findComment-3733153 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gentlemanloser Posted June 30, 2014 Author Share Posted June 30, 2014 /meh Do it Battle Froged. With Multiple Inquisitoral Detachments and an Allied IG detachment for a Priest. Now, wether you can take Multiple Inquisitorial Detachments, that's another question. ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/293003-crowe-getting-it-done/#findComment-3733184 Share on other sites More sharing options...
