depthcharge12 Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Isn't that just what that Mechanicum relic does? Yup, it does indeed. It gives them the red ring of doom :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/315577-new-consul-types/page/3/#findComment-4217185 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor Perils Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 I'll cry if the heraldor is gonna be a "Support officer". Another cool consul type I can't use as a Word Bearers. Why would it not be? Begs the question if Maloghurst will be a Heraldor or Delegatus (presuming Heraldor has additional rules past his own). And what would the signature legion? I'm thinking Night Lords or Salamanders. Salamanders with typical former command squad banner bearer who saw his entire squad and the person he was supposed to be protecting blended by Eidolon or Curze or something, so became really angry and his banmer suddenly granted counter attack aura or something something nonsense. Night Lords one is typical monodimensional cruel character. Banner Abilities... Any Night Lord unit with one or more within range who charges in the same phase as the Heraldor counts as outnumbering for the purposes of Talent for murder. I can't see Mal being a banner bearer: he's always described as being an equerry, not a chap waving a flag (I might be confusing the characters) Also, I could very well see a relic banner for the shattered legions: the ever-standing banner, the unfalling banner (etc.), the only banner of the Iron Hands/Raven Guard/Salamanders that didn't fall even once on the black sands of istvaan V, always being taken up by a new member of the shattered legions. Special equipment with special counter: if it is still with the original heraldor at the end of a game, grants an extra victory point to that side; usually stays with the heraldor, but if he is killed, it is attributed to the first legionary to come within one inch of the counter: this legionary then gains the ever-standing banner, and becomes an independent character for all game purposes, keeps all other equipment identical. In any case, if you don't like the idea, and if FW doesn't do this, then I'm homebrewing it !

Hesh Kadesh Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Isn't that just what that Mechanicum relic does?Yup, it does indeed. It gives them the red ring of doom :P Depends where they poke it. As for Mal, well, he has the Banner already. I love that banner mechanic, similar to the old relic missions.

Doctor Perils Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Possibly, I don't really know what they were Also, doing it like this could give some leeway for extra challenges (I'm seeing sort of an epic succession of duels over the banner): this of course would mean that the banner would have to give some kind of combat oriented capacities so that a normal marine wouldn't be defeated by the first sergeant to move along... EDIT: I just noticed that I hadn't been clear that also enemy marines would be able to take it Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/315577-new-consul-types/page/3/#findComment-4219788 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor Perils Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Just resurecting this thread for a quick question : do you think the Heraldor will have fast options (ie. Jetpack, Jetbike, bike)? I'd like to do my jetbike master as a consul, and a banner bearer could be quite cool :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/315577-new-consul-types/page/3/#findComment-4236540 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slips Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Perhaps. However having wargear restrictions might help him be differentiated from the comman squad standard bearer that way one doesnt quash the other.

Charlo Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Seeing as you can do it in 40k I hope so :) I hope the banner is something akin to a unit wide invulnerable and morale boosting etc. Jet bikes with invulns. Aww yeah. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/315577-new-consul-types/page/3/#findComment-4236554 Share on other sites More sharing options...
apologist Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 The simple fact there will be access to a leader carrying a banner is exciting – and I hope will lead to some cool centrepiece models. Simply swapping the banner bearer out can give a very different feel to the army as it provides an obvious focus. Plus I get to finally field these chaps!
