DA_WarM Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Have you tried this combination? I tried it yesterday and I was able to wipe out a unit of 12 necron warriors + Illuminor Szeras in one turn of CC. Rad and statis shells are the way to go!

SvenONE Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Never tried it but it's a great combo for sure. Int chaplain is one of our best all purpose HQs!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoic Raptor Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 I've got a Seraphicus on the way in the mail and I'm thinking of mounting him on a bike. A librarian as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Jay Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 I think I'll try it out in my next army. There is a good chance I'll be playing Necrons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abelard Tullus Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 I have found them to be quite effective against MEQ and light vehicles, especially if you give the Chaplain the mace. Almost to good in some cases, as there is a good chance, with shooting and assault, of wiping a unit out and being left in the open for retaliation. I also find the apothecary is usually a good points investment, even though he loses an attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eurieus Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 I have yet to model one, but i really want to try it as well. I'm planning on running ravenwing CMD squads , one with Sammy, the other with a MoR chaplain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raztalin Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 I must say; i think its a very nasty unit to deploy. Personally I use the RW Cmd squad alternative as the IC on bike unlocks them, saving a Fast attack slot for more BK's!!! :) Its fast, hard hitting and the Nades allow you to threaten more than your opponent may have expected. I load up the IC with the Mace and Crozius giving him +1 attack for 2 weapons of the same type. The bike carries his shooty bits so no need for the bolt pistol.

The bike carries his shooty bits so no need for the bolt pistol. Do you mean this in a different way than the +1 attack a model gets for having two close combat weapons? If so, could you please point me to this rule? A model with a bolt pistol and a crozius or a bolt pistol and a MoR gets the +1 Attack, same as a model with a crozius and an MoR. Either I'm misunderstanding you or you may be confusing this with something like the Specialist Weapon rule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interrogator Stobz Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 I was thinking there was confusion too, I'd keep the pistol just because it's easier to model for WYSIWYG botherers, i.e. in a holster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoic Raptor Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Indeed. I was thinking the same thing, especially since the MoR is superior to a Crozius in every aspect, so I cannot imagine using either of the other choices for any of the attacks. Much easier to have a holstered bolt pistol on the model than to try and pose him with two big honkin' clubs while driving a bike. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raztalin Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Think I must have thought one or both was a specialist weapon. Not to worry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoic Raptor Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 No problem - that was what I figured. So, best practice would be to replace the Crozius with the Mace of Redemption (S7 AP3 at I4), but would there ever be a time where, say, a plasma pistol would be used instead of the bike's boltguns? Or would that just be a waste of points? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interrogator Stobz Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 I've found that plasma pistols are actually a tonne better on mobile platforms like bikers and jumpers due to their short range, they are lucky if they are a one use wonder on Tacticals Sgts etc but aren't bad at all for hurting tougher opponents before the charge on guys who can use them multiple times each game. Got spare points? Take one. You would have lost a couple of Talon shots by taking a grenade launcher so another S7 AP2 shot is alway welcome. IMHO, YMMV :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA_WarM Posted March 18, 2015 Author Share Posted March 18, 2015 I never thought of using a MoR. I think I'll try it at my next game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cactus Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 What Stobz said, plus if you have a biker chaplain you can take the Black Knights as a command squad with apothecary. Feel no pain gives extra protection against overheating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoic Raptor Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 I'm assembling parts to kitbash a chaplain biker - the Seraphicus model won't really do, as the backpack and cape are molded onto the back of the body. The helmet is really the only part I'd use. I've got an old metal chaplain biker I've not yet assembled, but it looks like I might have to use something else - maybe acquire a Reclusiam chaplain sprue or something? I know it's veering a little away from the topic, but does anyone have any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's veering a little away from the topic, but does anyone have any ideas? I cut down a finecast version of Asmodai, as I had a spare set of robed bike legs to blend his robe into with a little green stuff (haven't got to that point yet). I cut at the red line with small clippers, then trimmed with a hobby knife to the blue line. (yes, I found a mispackaged version with 2 body sprues and no weapons sprues. Didn't need the weapons and felt more comfortable with a backup that didn't cost me any more money) Mounted on Bike (edit: added pics) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoic Raptor Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 I may have to try that - I know our local store has a few of them in stock. I have a spare pair of robed biker legs I got off eBay for this purpose. I was hoping to find plastic parts because I want to model him with a Mace (present on the lovely DA upgrade sprue) and the less I have to cut, the better. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark_Master Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Actually the Seraphicus model works quite well. I cut the cape down and green stuffed it into a pair of robed legs, just need to paint it. I'll put pictures up when I get home. DM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoic Raptor Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Thanks, everyone. This gives me a lot of great ideas for a Chaplain biker conversion. I probably won't attempt it until I've finished painting my box army (at least the Deathwing and "Greenwing" parts) but when I'm ready I have a lot of options after all.

Interrogator Stobz Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 So many cool conversions, great to see all the cool ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoic Raptor Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 So, out of the old Chaplain Biker kit I had, the only metal piece I kept was the fairing with wings and a skull - and mounting the bolters through it was a pain. The metal Chaplain itself was useless to me and the bike accessories were mundane. But thanks to a variety of bits from the Veterans sprue, Ravenwing parts and my usual dive into the Sternguard and Command boxes for characters, I was able to assemble a pretty good Interrogator Chaplain with robes and the Mace - and topped him off with Seraphicus' helmet. And the bike itself looks a little more "sanctified" than usual. I'll post pics some time soon, but won't get around to painting it for a while I'm sure.
