Slips Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Holy Crap hes pretty solid for the 175 he costs. Ap3 Sword though >_< Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/316490-garro-up-on-forgeworld/#findComment-4236489 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlo Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 But rending, with double wounds for combat resolution and he has a 3++! I LOVE him, may have to straight up buy.

Reyner Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Awesome model and a great character, I need this guy now. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/316490-garro-up-on-forgeworld/#findComment-4236495 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slips Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 True but, he can never be a Compulsory HQ Selection. So thats 175 you have to free up somewhere. It'll probably be worthwhile if you have a solid plan on his usage though.

rendingon1+ Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Cool set of rules - pity his not independent character though. I can see funny combination of "Protector" and "Chosen Duty" (delegatus consul) - 3VP just for staying live haha.

Quixus Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Am I missing something? Taking Garro makes it pretty easy for the opponent to cause you to lose your game due to the Oath of Moment Special rule. Granted it is not that easy, because the opponent does not know which oath you picked but still. Kill Garro quickly and and the controlling player can no longer win even if he wipes the other army of the board. It also limits the controlling player tactically. It becomes dangerous to soften up Garro's target for fear of killing it outright, it makes it difficult to attach Garro to a squad, for fear of the squad killing the target etc. @rendigon1: Garro IS an independent character.

GrandMagnus Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Sooooo coool, but does he even have rules!? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/316490-garro-up-on-forgeworld/#findComment-4236529 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caillum Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 He's got a lot of rules, which seem to add up to a pretty solid character. They're in the OP. Defensively, he's hard as nails: - 2+/4++ and 3++ in a challenge is nice - something akin to Loken's "get-back-up" ability - Eternal Warrior - his Deep Strike defensive buffs are funky, but he might be better in a unit Offensively, he's not bad: - AP3 (meh), Rending, +1 Strength, 2-handed sword - Preferred Enemy (Traitors) is more chances to Rend - Precision Strikes and Shots - his Paragon bolter is remarkably good - wounds dealt in a Challenge are doubled for combat res Having things like Implacable Advance help, and his Oath of Moment rule is a very cool mechanic - could be a double-edged sword, but that's why you take him! If I had a Loyalist army I'd buy him immediately. Even then, I'm thinking of reasons not to buy him! :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/316490-garro-up-on-forgeworld/#findComment-4236533 Share on other sites More sharing options...

My brain works liberally today. I think you have a point but it also works in your favour. More resources spent to kill Garro = less preasure elsewhere :) And you can always take protector - most lazy Oth of Moment there is.

Corswain Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Great model and some pretty nice rules. I like the fairly standard statline, it's the special rules that make him good. I was worried they'd go a bit overboard with him. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/316490-garro-up-on-forgeworld/#findComment-4236548 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlo Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Honestly you just plop him a bit away from the enemy, maybe outside 24, and watch them scramble to kill him xD snapshots is fun as no blasts etc. Obviously then you have an issue, but hey... Precision is pretty rad too, letting him snipe out apothecarys and sergeants from blobs with his rending bolter. Very sad he can't be the warlord, but hey ho. Can't wait to run him with Mortug. Infiltrating units and Garro up in the face early on. Bliss. I also wonder how indicative his rules are of the "create your own" knight errant rules coming in book 6. I can see the snap shooting and oaths of moment crossing over, as we as the more universal special rules like EW. Exciting stuff.

Hesh Kadesh Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 This model is possibly one of the greatest ever released by Forge World. Up there with Moloc, Enkomi, the Apothecaries, Huron and Phoenix Lord Irillyth. Definiately top 5.

1ncarnadine Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Did anyone else notice he has Implacable Advance? He can score on his own if he needs to, or attached to a unit that can't score. This leads to some funny stuff where you can forestall his reserves rolls and deep strike him onto stuff for late-game deployment zone/objective VPs. edit: dammit I need to read Caillums posts all the way through, I look through his dash-point lists and skim the rest then go back later. I'm dumb. Second time today :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/316490-garro-up-on-forgeworld/#findComment-4236570 Share on other sites More sharing options...
