Quixus Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 What's the point of the Primarch's Chosen RoW? It seems very similar but inferior to the Pride of the Legion RoW. Both can take a Primarch, but PC effectively blocks a HQ and a LoW slot. Both must take terminators and or veterans as compulsory troops choices. PotL also allows the special terminator units (Lernaean etc.) For PC, killing a single model (the Primarch) removes the scoring ability from all units in the detachment. PotL only gives the opponent an additional VP if he destroys all veterans/terminators. PotL can't have allies. So am I missing something or is PC only interesting if you take allies?

Marshal Loss Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 The reason people take Primarch's Chosen is that it lets you take a Primarch in a game smaller than 2,000 points, the size where you'd normally be allowed a Lord of War. If you read the fluffy description for it in Book 6, it basically says it's to represent a Primarch taking to the field in a smaller engagement.

Also Zone Mortalis says "hi" :D It's meant for smaller games - similar to the Delegatus' Chosen Duty RoW that lets you have Vets as troops with less downsides than Pride.

depthcharge12 Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Zone Mortalis with a Primarch ain't even fair :O Unless you play SA and you loaded up on the Imploder Goliath demo thingies (S:D). Then it's fair and hilarious. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/321104-primarchs-chosen-vs-pride-of-the-legion/#findComment-4354271 Share on other sites More sharing options...
