Dempsey Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Hi, I just saw rules for him... maybe not overly impressing, but if you can use him in standard 40k games (what I think is possible) then sticking him in death company would make disordered charges viable as they will retain all their bonuses and he also would let them charge more reliably due to reroll of one or two dices for charge range - for 35pts he is nice force multiplier (if not for death company, what would be more fluffy - reading his description ;-) - then for sanguinary guard he would also make them more killy for multiple targets) Whats your opinion on this subject?

Atia Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 He is not an independend character afaik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grazcruzk Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Sadly he doesn't have the independent character special rule. If he did he might be pretty good for the reasons you describe! I think we're all a little saddened by it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlo Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Best use I can think of his model is a more actiony Corbulo with some conversion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolemai Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 He's an all on your own type such as the Sanguinor. Also, he is Faction: Deathwatch and as such, can only be taken in a BA CAD (so no BSF or FTSF). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lostiris Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 I think I will just use his model as a veteran sergeant in one of my assault squads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlo Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Only use I can see him is if you randomly manage to charge two fire warrior or similar squads with a 32mm base to tie them up... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blindhamster Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Will just use the model with an arm swap as a member of one of my vanguard squads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grazcruzk Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Unless you went for some kind of silly two-man squad with an IC. I wonder if there would be any kind of effective way to do it. Allied IC with a chapter tactic that he can benefit from, maybe? Would you be able to attach multiple ICs to him? You could have him take challenges for a mini deathstar.

Dempsey Posted March 6, 2016 Author Share Posted March 6, 2016 Damn... missed that he is not IC...so entire plan is void, shame. Well as many things in our codex or characters - useless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlo Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Dante, Alessio and a Librarian super smack down dream team? Just multi charge things and sweep with Dante! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dempsey Posted March 8, 2016 Author Share Posted March 8, 2016 But what you propose is little death star... (pretty strong and may be surprising) and Alessio special rule just screams to be used with some kind of proper unit... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
