LutherMax Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 I'm considering taking a Librarian for the first time since Mephiston in 6th Ed (not counting the time I took a Libby Dread who got sucked into the Warp on his first manifestation attempt). He will probably act as an escort to the SG along with a Priest, so will definitely have a jump pack. Looking for ideas and opinions on what other wargear to give him in such a role. The SG have swords, axes and Angelus bolt guns so maybe a plasma pistol? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riggs Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 I love plasma this edition! And plasma pistols being relatively cheap I hand those puppies out. Word of warning to shoot it in safe mode until you really really need that extra 1 damage/str. Ive been thinking about using the lib for shield on the SG, so you're meta is down with choosing powers I'd give that a whirl. If you're deep striking them behind enemy lines, your opponent is definitely going to fire some heavy duty bullets into them. Also post how it goes. I'm loving the Sanguinor with my SG, but I've been looking at lib as a cheaper alternative. LutherMax 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Ghost IX Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Since he is going to be near a priest go force sword. If not axes are more sexy. It is all about str 5 over str 4 on the damage table. Plasma pistol is prolly a good idea but not required. Don't overcharge it, Libby has eough to worry about with the occasional perils of the warp and such hehhehheh.

LutherMax Posted July 12, 2017 Author Share Posted July 12, 2017 Plasma pistol it is (safe mode)! I have points for any of the melee weapons... consensus on what's better out of Stave, Sword or Axe..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Unseen Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Sword or axe. Stave is sadly bad. Doesn't wound anything except toughness 5 and 6 better than the axe, and only -1 ap is really had. Axe gives you the str5, meaning worst you'll ever wound is a 5+, and you wound infantry on 3s. Swords are comparable, and are just straight better with a priest nearby for the same reasons the axe is better than the maul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LutherMax Posted July 12, 2017 Author Share Posted July 12, 2017 Ah yes I see – the Priest gives the +1S (that you would otherwise get with the axe), but the sword is AP-3 vs the Axe -2. Sword and plasma pistol it is! Man, I wish Meph could FLY! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Unseen Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 No kidding. If wings was still a power, over say the awful power that is blood boil, I'd imagine he'd see a lot more play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
