Gentlemanloser Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Honestly, a positive thread about our new Codex. For the first time, ever, I actually like Brother Captain Stern. Take a close look at him. He has the same statline as a Brother Captain, but the price of a Grand Master. He has the PML2 of a Grand Master, so only loses out on the extra attack. Why bother with him? Sanctuary. He can combo that with his Iron Halo for a 3++ save. Cheaper than Draigo! His Warlord Trait is ok, I guess. Back with No Retreat! wounds, I would have killed for Stubborn. Now, not so much. Zone of Banishment looks /meh but is a cool buff. And The Strands of Fate has been buffed to a massive each Phase. Still grants the same reroll to your opponent however. And no cheesing it by going second. ;) While a stock BC with a Relic might be a better choice, this is the first incarnation of Stern that I'd actually consider using him!

Valerian Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Agreed. If I knew I were playing against Daemons then I'd definitely consider him for that improved Zone of Banishment. Otherwise, he'd still be a maybe. Agreed that he's the best he's ever been, though. Would have been nice to have gotten a bit of a discount on him to encourage use, though, since he's still a bit of a niche character.

Kenderleech Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 deamonhunter stern was pretty sweet. Many a time i watched him march thru midfield, hammerhanding and holocausting all over, and making all his saves.

Reclusiarch Darius Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Meh. I agree he's useable, but I'd prefer a Grandmaster with hammer and Cuirass any day. The GM can roll for much more powerful Telepathy or Divination powers anyway.
