Lord Kallozar Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Sorry if this has been done to death already, but just a quick question, for a 50pp army what do you guys think is the best way to equip a power armoured lord? Defo gonna have fleshmetal, but what else? Which weapons? Thanks. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/353760-decent-lord-loadout/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maschinenpriester Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Depends on what you are plnning with him. For just rerolls i use combibolter and maybe a power sword for some cc assistance.

Panzer Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Depends on what you are plnning with him. For just rerolls i use combibolter and maybe a power sword for some cc assistance. He's talking power points. No reason to keep him cheap.

Deadass Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 If you're deadset on the exoskeleton, then my vote is on a combi-melta and a power fist. Otherwise, consider giving him the Mark of Khorne to take the Axe of Blind Fury, or simply the Black Mace. A jump pack for improved mobility will cost you an additional power point but can really make a difference for getting him into cover or charge distance, so I'd take one too.

Trevak Dal Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 What about multiple lords with jump packs, and dual chainswords? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/353760-decent-lord-loadout/#findComment-5253374 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzer Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Chainswords are a waste of potential imo. Your other units can do anti-chaff good enough already, but you need your Lord for the heavy lifting. Since Thunderhammers aren't available for chaos give him a Fist or a potent relic weapon.

Closet Skeleton Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Relic weapon on lords, always. Power fists aren't worth it in general, why give yourself -1 to hit when 4 S8 d3 attacks aren't exactly worth endangering a lord against anything that needs S8. Black Mace is great, murder sword is useful. Axe of Blind Fury is alright but less good and even the Pus Cleaver has some things going for it. Then the claws of the black hunt and the cursed crozius are great if available and the blade of the hydra isn't exactly bad.

Iron Father Ferrum Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Dual lightning claws with the Elixir, too. Makes for a decent blender. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/353760-decent-lord-loadout/#findComment-5254320 Share on other sites More sharing options...
helterskelter Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Back him up with a Sorcerer that can grant diabolic strength. This is a gamble choice, however.

dice4thedicegod Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Dual lightning claws with the Elixir, too. Makes for a decent blender. I thought that two relics on the same character wasn't allowed?

Iron Father Ferrum Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Oh right, OP wanted Fleshmetal. I forgot about that. In which case, Terminator armor allows this loadout and still gets you the 2+ armor.

OP already mentioned one relic so I didn't put a relic weapon as first choice there and among all the other weapons available to the Lord without taking something like the Elixir the Fist is simply the best option as sad as it is.

Dark Legionnare Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 In the couple games I've played with my Death Guard since finishing them, I've actually had great luck with a termi lord with a chainfist. Part of that luck is having deathshroud around to absorb shots, I'm sure. That said, when he gets into melee, he's chewed through other TEQ's, a couple dreads, mini-knights, and normal troops pretty effectively a couple times now.I designed the army completely around "being fluffy and fun models", not competitive-focused, but he's been a blast to use. Especially with the trait of nearby mortal wounds generation combined with the helm that increases the area effect of said trait by 3".On the note of that, the random mortal wounds being slung around at everyone within 6" on a 4+ has sniped a librarian, termis, etc... a couple times now. S'fun. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/353760-decent-lord-loadout/#findComment-5255060 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mekhitar Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Dual lightning claws + flames of spite makes for a nice loadout. The rerolls to wound makes the mortals much more likely to go off vs higher toughness targets.

Khornestar Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Dual lightning claws + flames of spite makes for a nice loadout. The rerolls to wound makes the mortals much more likely to go off vs higher toughness targets. That sounds very fun! I gotta try that at some point. Maybe if I pick up Haarken at some point, that would be a way to run him. Jump Pack Lord + Flesh Metal + Combi-melta + Power Fist (or Lightning Claw) would be my choice. Mobile enough to make good use of the morale immunity bubble and can jump over intervening terrain and models in the movement phase to go where he's needed most. 2+/4++ auto-healing 1 wound per turn is pretty nice as well. Fist to take on vehicles or multi-wound infantry, claw to take on single-wound stuff. Negligible difference in price. Combi-melta could be swapped out for plasma, since it's better in general AND cheaper. I just think melta is more badass.

mika_angelus Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 I know you want fleshmetal, but my favorite setup is elixir+fist+chainaxe. And if I got some luck (alpha legion trait) I roll the reroll wounds roll of 1. This gives me 5 attacks s6 ap-1 against chaff or 5 attacks s10 against bigger stuff. Love that guy.
