Gentlemanloser Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Bear with me! ;) Obviously taken in a seperate detachment, not to mess with our BoP rule. But the FW Chaplain Dread seems to have some interesting options if taken as your Warlord. It can have a Trait, Chapter Tactic and Relic. All for free. What can we do with that? Fiat thing that springs to mind is stacking Iron Resolve with the Armour Indomitus (strange, but no restriction on who can use it...) and maybe the Iron Hands CT. This makes him 10W, so he can now be shot at normally. But he has a 2+ save, 3++ once per game. And 3 seperate 6+ rolls to ignore wounds! There's also the great RG trait that denys overwatch, but that would lock you into the RG CT. Not GK related, but we could use this as Red Hunter or Exorcist dread to retain the theme. Might be totally impractical, just an odd thought that occurred to me. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/337927-silly-thought-sm-chaplain-dread-for-hq/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
librisrouge Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 If he's not a Grey Knight, can he even take chapter relics? I thought those were restricted to Grey Knight only detachments?

Gentlemanloser Posted August 10, 2017 Author Share Posted August 10, 2017 Those are SM Relics. ;) Our GK in our BoP GK detachment can take our relics. We'd get 2 relics for free!

Seizeman Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 What's the point of this guy? He's just a venerable with an extra wound for 30 extra points and the loss of a CP. Also, for him to take a relic he must be the warlord, so you can't have any relics or warlord traits in the GK detachment. All of this for an extra wound? what's the point? A GMNDK also has a 2+, 3++ (even a 6+ FnP if you want to) and is better in every way.

Gentlemanloser Posted August 10, 2017 Author Share Posted August 10, 2017 Ah you can't have gk relics if your Warlord isn't gk? Didn't realise that.

Adeptus Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 I don't think it would affect relics. They don't have to be given to the warlord, do they?

Macabre Slanneshi Prince Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Your warlord determines which set of relics you can give out.
