Marshal Rohr Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Alvarex Maun is highly underrated on the forum. He is James Gavin/Matthew Ridgway in power armor. He coordinates and personally leads one of the largest orbital invasions in Imperial History (again, personally). That doesn't sound impressive until you realize that means he is coordinating attack waves of thousands upon thousands of gunships, drop pods, landers, and air support, directly over a fortress designed and built by one of the greatest minds in the Imperium, held by the premier legion, a legion raised on martial excellence, a legion famed for unyielding endurance, and a legion of the most brutal warriors ever to walk the galaxy. And he does all this from the first wave, inside a Thunderhawk. Edit: Now that I have had coffee, and I'm thinking about it objectively, instead of subjectively screaming "SIGISMUND, YOU FOOLS", at my computer screen. FW has provided each legion with good examples of the spectrum found within each legion, both forming a larger whole of representation. To use the RG as an example again, you have Maun who is the 'commander' representing the Raven Guard's excellent planning, coordination, and execution and Nex, representing the 'lone hunter' aspect of the Legion typified in Corax. Similarly, the IW have Golg, the tyrant, and Valen the grizzled veteran officer.

SkimaskMohawk Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Yea for me Nex encapsulates the parts of the raven guard that drew me in in the first place; back line, disruption, wetwork, independent. Also he doesn't have oversized bird skulls or polynesian tattoos :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/313619-the-best-of-each-legion/page/4/#findComment-4172516 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkangilos Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 When it comes to blood Angels best fighter, I would say Azkaellon. When it comes to best commander I would say Raldoron. When it comes to most ferocious and most brutally honest, I say Amit.

Tyrannicide Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 I think for comparison we will see Amit get the Fafnir Rann treatment. Mentioned in multiple places, but no rules in the first BA featured book. Him or Azkaellon. There ain't enough room for both in the first book.

b1soul Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 How is Sharrowkyn more of a special Snow Flake than Sevatar? Sevatar's big run in with a pre-existing big name character was him fighting to a draw and getting himself disqualified. Sharrowkyn runs into a Big Name Guy, makes him look like a chump who doesn't know which end of a sword to hold, then kills him, complete with a pithy-one liner to celebrate. One Big Name character is Sigismund, literally the best of the best. The other is Lucius, the guy known for arrogant carelessness in duels. Guy managed to lose to Loken before...and it seems that he's only gotren more arrogant with time For all we know, Sharrowkyn could be the best 1 on 1 duelist of his legion.

Mentioned in multiple places, but no rules in the first BA featured book. Him or Azkaellon. There ain't enough room for both in the first book. Well the Word Bearers have what, 4 characters at this point? I don't see it too far out of the realms of possibility that we could get rules for Aezkellon, Amit and Raldoron.

Across two books. Just like the Imperial Fists do not have rules for Rann or Archamus, but I expect they will by the time we reach the Siege of Terra. That's all I meant. It will be one or the other in the first book that the Blood Angels feature in.

Fire Golem Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 I don't know. Seeing as we'll be getting the rules for the BA characters that much later, they might just give them all three in one go.

Fire Golem Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 They gave the ultras 3 didn't they? No, only 2 characters (excluding Guilliman). They got three units instead of 2 though.

Fire Golem Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Did you count Honored Telemechrus as one of the characters? Yeah. They got him and Ventanus. I didn't count Guilliman because I was assuming we meant non Primarch characters. If we're counting Primarchs, most legions have 3 characters.
