Karhedron Posted June 18, 2018 Author Share Posted June 18, 2018 Just had another idea for an ally. Guilliman in a lone SH-Aux detachment. He nets you 3CPs and can rival a Knight in CC, plus he is hard to target.To bad he doesn't give the Knights rerolls.Wouldn't he give rerolls of 1 to hit? They are Imperium units. You are quite right, I had forgotten that. A nice way to get a bit more reliability out of all those dice. You can probably fit your entire army in Bobby G's 12" bubble if you want to.

Clingy Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 How does he alone net 3CP? Do you not need 2 other super heavies with him? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/348152-potential-allies-for-knights/page/2/#findComment-5107901 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stray Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 How does he alone net 3CP? Do you not need 2 other super heavies with him? He has a rule where if he's your Warlord, you simply gain an extra 3CP buddy.

Clingy Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 Wow, did not know that. Quite a nice little bonus but I’m a sucker for a cp regen warlord Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/348152-potential-allies-for-knights/page/2/#findComment-5108008 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vel'Cona Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Castellan Creed is a far cheaper option if you just want the CP (though only +2), but obviously a CC w/ Grand Strategist is going to net you more average CP per game (and at less than half the cost).

Felstone Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 Tempestus Scions Slightly more expensive than Guard but still cheap with a bare-bones battalion costing only 230 points and also unlocking the Miner Warlord. While you only get half as many bodies for objective camping the ability to deploy using "Aerial Drop" is really useful. If you keep the squads cheap, you can hold them back until Turn 3 when the Knights have hopefully cleared a lot of the enemy and then drop them on unguarded objectives where they will not have to weather so much fire. Alternatively, pop a couple of plasma guns on each squad and use them to hunt units that have evaded your Knights. Although slightly more durable than Guard, they only have half as many wounds for slightly more points if you are looking for pure objective campers, regular IG are probably a better bet. Thoughts, comments suggestions? I love the idea of a battalion para trooping in along side a gallant.

I considered this early on as well, though at about 20 points more a squad the Tempestus were taking a bit too much from my Knights' points allocation. I may just do it anyway for the coolness factor :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/348152-potential-allies-for-knights/page/2/#findComment-5109189 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlo Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 Not to mention a Gallant can quite effectively "secure a landing zone" as it were...
