Charlo Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 A Librarian could work, to buff him with sanguinary /biomancy. Quickening on him would be pretty insane. With all the rerolls he'll probably even damage 2+ at that point. But the WS9 from the priest is what really does it, making people hit on 5+ is great.

evildrcheese Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Below is a thread I started a few months back about how I like to run the Sanguinor. http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/307070-the-sanguinor-revisited/?hl=sanguinor&do=findComment&comment=4037051 A very interesting read. My only concern is that 300 pts for two models is a big chunk of change. I can't argue with how effective it appeared to be though. D Not really though. The going rate of a decent sized squad of Death Company, Vanguard Veterans or Sanguinary Guard comes in at 300. And using this HQ combination frees up our ever-crowded elites slots, which is pretty valuable I'd say. But it's 300 pts for 2 dudes. Now I admit they are majority T5, with access to a 2+, 4++ and FnP...but a kitted out DC squad with a chappy feels like a better deal. Still, I want to tun it and see how it goes with the duo. My biggest concern is them getting bogged down in a combat... D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I was thinking something similar to this as well. A librarian with some sternguard and the sanguinor swoops in, gets Quickened by the Sanguinary Discipline librarian and starts slamming into units with impunity.

Spagunk Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Priest+Sanguinor or Libby w/quickening+sanguinor is a pretty sickening amount of power. Hideously expensive but massively terrifying. Can't imagine how a Priest+libby+sanginor squad would be if it gets into combat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlo Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Sadly the Sanguinor can't be a part of a squad, he can only be joined by independent characters :( his aura works on them though of course! For true mean you could always add in an allied marine captain with shield eternal and a fist to tank, but sangy has eternal warrior too. Sanguinor with quickening will chew through anything not 2+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evildrcheese Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 So, Valour's Edge on the Priest then? ;) D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlo Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 So, Valour's Edge on the Priest then? D Duh! but you probably don't want him charging the nasty units, although really big S will always want to be in a challenge because hes so great in them.

Brother_Mike Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Yeah I think a Power Fist/Thunder Hammer would be a better choice for the Sanguinary Priest to give those high strength attacks the combo would lack otherwise. You could even give the SP a grav pistol if you wanted to concuss units before an assault Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could even give the SP a grav pistol if you wanted to concuss units a Model before an assault Only the model hit by it is concussed, so unless you're charging a MC, only the model that takes the woound from a unit (and most likely dies to ap2) is concussed.

Red-beard Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 In addition to the WS9, having majority toughness 5 helps against shooting attacks....which, in combination with FNP, allows the unit to survive enemy dakka while they make their way upfield. Also, don't forget that the priest can jink on the bike. So you can LOS AP2 wounds off the Sanguinor onto a jinking priest....at least until the priest takes a wound. It effectively makes the Sanguinor into a 4 wound model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can join as many ICs to the Sanguinor as you like, but you cannot join the Sanguinor to another unit (with the IC rule or without), because the Sanguinor lacks the IC status. An IC is considered part of the unit he joins, not the other way around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spagunk Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Right, so you can make a three person squad by joining two IC to sanguinor, yes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainHelion Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Or a five person squad, with Sanguinor, a Priest, two Chaplains and a Librarian, if you wanted! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolemai Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Correct. In which case a Bike Priest and Bike Captain would be ideal choices (similar to this idea). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spagunk Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 The bike captain/priest combo is really interesting too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
