Three Consul Deathstar?

[disease]

So I've heard recently of a three consul deathstar, and quite frankly, I don't know what it consists of? 

 

I would assume its for use only in very competitive, cheesy lists, and that all the characters would be on bikes, but that's all I got.

 

seems like it would be way to expensive, possibly fragile and not enough attacks, or am I completely missing something?

yer got jink and T5

The cheesiest consuls on bikes are librarian, primus medicae and forgemaster

Propably on jetbikes? 2+ and t5,5+ FNP through primus, rerolls or -1 characteristic through the powers of the libby and -1 toughness on the enemy through forgemasters rad grenades. Get wounded on 6 most times, 2+ and 5+ fnp, wounding on 3s through rad grenades and power weapons of any kind on top, for exeample with phoenix spears on 2+ and ap2 on ini in first round of combat. There won't be much left beside the hardest death stars to respond. Should come at 450 or such things but will propably eat anything. Don't forget, with -1 S through the libbys even powerfists won't be insta death and they still have to pass a 5++ and fnp as they are only s6 enemies.. back it up with a power weapon/phoenix spears command squad and one centurion with the void shield generator and boom. Isn't there a spell with -1 T in biomancy as well? Then -2 T would mean insta death to all marines. You could kill anything with power swords or axes and would not need power spears.

add white scars/power glaives for extra fun

Like most "Death Stars" though, they aren't strictly competative as they have a lot of things that hard counter them. Two, it gives your opponent a really easy time at target selection and makes focus fire choices much easier.

 

If that bike squad doesn't do all the work, it's a huge chunk of ineffective points out of your army.

 

If it's a RoW-less army, the setup typically goes: Primus Medicae (for FnP), a Chaplain (for hatred and fearless) and a Forgelord (for rad grenades and 3++ tank). Most of the time, these bros go on jetbikes to maximize the FnP application, mobility and time spent outside of combat.

meh, I don't think its for me. But thanks for explaining, might be useful for someone else though.

A Typhon will remove that Deathstar in one shot and costs less...

Or like a certain someone loves, a Blood Angels moritat with flamers :D

Typhon is a solution to everything though, it's almost worth not mentioning :P

We do not speak of this

Exactly what I mean. "Deathstars" make for super easy target priority

Let's not get that bishonen dumpster fire started again.

[Mango Polo]

As the moritat victim, talking about it helps ease the pain :D

There is a legion who can go some way to solving that problem.

It's not that cheesy and then you get tagged by a demolisher template and cry.

I have faced this deathstar , between  the vindicator squad and the typhon I  sorta felt a bit bad cause Sigismund probably would have killed all three of em in close combat anyway
