sunspear Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 I have a few points left over and I thought about throwing in a bodyguard for my commander. I know ripper guns aren't the most optimal for units of ogryns but for a bodyguard would it matter that much? I actually think it might be a better option as at least it may have the chance to shoot once in a while Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/342088-ogryn-body-guard-question/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halfpint100 Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Short range, but it is an option. I have never used them myself Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/342088-ogryn-body-guard-question/#findComment-4954121 Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoffeeGrunt Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Personally Maul and Slabshield are too good to pass up. Makes it very capable at seeing off CQC threats.

Tyr13 Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Im probably sticking a gun on mine, if only for varietys sake. Even comes with a small cc bonus, too.

Feral_80 Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 If you expect a lot of character targeting and the bodyguard to just soak up wounds, you might as well just equip him with nothing at all, or the cheapest options. Good saves won't help against mortal wounds anyway. But personally, since he is reasonably punchy on his own, I prefer to field my Ogryn bodyguard with the full gear, ie plate, maul, and shield.

sunspear Posted December 9, 2017 Author Share Posted December 9, 2017 Tyr13- I'm thinking the gun just for that reason, I can individualize him a bit that way Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/342088-ogryn-body-guard-question/#findComment-4955453 Share on other sites More sharing options...
zero88 Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Maul, Bruteshield, then the Deathmask relic.

zero88 Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 (edited) Did they change it in the FAQ or the Chapter Approved? Because according to the codex the Deathmask can go on an Infantry Astra Militarum Character, and the bodyguard meets all of the requirements Edited December 9, 2017 by zero88 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/342088-ogryn-body-guard-question/#findComment-4955838 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Withershadow Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Did they change it in the FAQ or the Chapter Approved? Because according to the codex the Deathmask can go on an Infantry Astra Militarum Officer, and the bodyguard meets all of the requirementsCome on guys, reading is essential. Only requirement is Infantry character. The ogryn is not an officer but he doesn’t need to be.
