Eternal Warrior Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Greetings to all. I am making a small foray back into the Rock and was wondering which of our amazing relics do you use in your games? Thank you all for your wisdom in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Captain Arkley Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 You will have to forgive me as I do not play the game but it does seem that the Foe Smiter and Mace of Redemption are pretty popular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disciple of Caliban Sgt Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Foe Smitter is well loved. I like the Sword as well. I admit its expensive but that sword has done wonders for me. Probably because I pray five times a day t the emperor. Lastly the Lion's Roar works well for me. I usually have a CM with Arti Armor the Lion's Roar and the Sword. Or I drop the sword for a Power sword if points are tight. While expensive I've done well with him. My key is to attempt to live up to the usual rule. Shoot the assault stuff and assault the shooty stuff. Attach the CM to a minor assault/command or whatever squad and have him shoot then charge or act as a counter charger and he tears stuff up for me. I seem to be in the minority though so take it with a grain of salt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aura_enchanted Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Monster Hunter of caliban is perhaps my favourite relic of the lot it's unpredictable and can really come through in a pinch The mace of redemption is sort of the wargear relic for your secondary hq, its great don't get me wrong but it feels like something I'd give a librarian or a chaplain I've spent spare points on, not my warlord The foe Smiter is great for any hq in terminator armor The lions roar is okay for anyone really but I don't see use in it The shroud is a waste of points look out sir is more useful than a cover save, I guess if you were a crazy person a techmarine could use it if he was looking after tanks in your backfield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syphid Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Lion's Roar on a Terminator CM is nice, especially paired with Banner of Devastation or a Deathwing terminator also sporting a plasma cannon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Addition a one use only Plasma Cannon Blast that is Assault and not Heavy that is Master Crafted so you can re-roll the Gets Hot result is usually better than an extra shot on an AP4 Storm Bolter. To each their own though. Also if you can afford it, the Shroud of Heroes is godly on a solo Bike Character (2+ Jink save and Feel No Pain on a T5 character? Whats not to like right?) especially if that Character's only job is to carry a PFG around and give an invul to your tanks ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaplain Lucifer Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Like it was said, people tend to prefer Mace of redemption and foe-smiter. Lion's roar was my personal fave before the FAQ where it could shoot every turn. The other relics are very situational and/or expensive. I would love to use the Monster Hunter of Caliban but it's only AP3 and on 1 is a very,very expensive powersword and on a 2-4 a poweraxe is still better and cheaper, IMHO of course.

Disciple of Caliban Sgt Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 That's just because the Chaplain is lacking faith *winks*. In all seriousness for whatever reason I am very lucky with my rolls on the Monster Hunter. Wish it wasn't as many points but we are always the test codex right?

Chaplain Lucifer Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 I don't lack faith. I do have an excess of 1's when the ocasion demandsthe opposite side, so I just prefer to take less chances. Just watch the Monster Hunter on the Feast of blades.. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syphid Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 If we're also talking about Banners, the Standard of Fortitude has won me games and often makes an appearance in my army, regardless of what I field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Sheol Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 I use only the "Super Mace" (when i field a chap in TDA Attached with DWK) and sometimes the standard of devastation... I think that the DA are alteady overcosted and i dont feel the need to waste points on more ocercosted stuff (that Will have Little effect on game due to the low number of models that can use the bonus given)...

Syphid Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 I had another great game with the Standard of Fortitude today, it does amazing things for Ravenwing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shabbadoo Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 I use the standards, but not anything else. I would use the Mace of Redemption if I knew I was playing against Chaos Space Marines, but I would not include it in a general list. The Lion's Roar is fine for any HQ with an unwieldy weapon.
