War Angel Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 What elite characters are you using? I just got my first Primaris approthicary and after I do some customizing (any ideas?) I plan on fielding it with the rest of my Primaris Marines. I also intend to use the Primaris ancient, as the banner is awesome, and I think he will add a nice feature to the units he hangs out with. Does anyone have any experience using them, or suggestions I should keep in mind while playing. I still haven't built any old school tech Marines but sadly the added size of these new models just give them something extra that makes them stand out so well that i had to put everything else at the very back of my to doo list.

CantusMaximGloria Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 A neat and easy conversion I saw with the apothecary was to have a sword planted in the ground next to the downed marine, sort of like a memorial marker. As for playing with those two, ancients are good, with or without the relic banner, around single shot high damage infantry. Similarly the apothecary is great following stuff like agressors or Centurions into the thick of things since getting one of those guys back up means a sizeable portion of your fire base is back.

Panzer Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 An Ancient is in pretty much each of my list. Also because the BA relic banner is pretty awesome for Primaris. An Apothecary comes next, though I'm thinking about converting him into a Sanguinary Priest since they are pretty similar statline-wise and the +1S aura is great, so technically not an Elite character I guess. ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ciler Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Another classic combo is to keep the banner and apo next to a hellblaster unit. If one of your plasma dies, he gets to shoot again (banner) and gets raised back by the apo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishagu Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Almost none. The standard bearer encourages a static play-style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schlitzaf Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 The Bearer is okay. I found him useful with my Templar’s as Anti-Charge Alpha. I.e I get charged, then even if I die I can still fight. It’s just requiring models to be within 6” to use it kinda sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kallas Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 The standard bearer encourages a static play-style. Nothing about the Ancient promotes being static. It promotes huddling up around buff characters, yes, but not being static. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellebras Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 I've been using the Ancient. The Standard of the Emperor Ascendant provides some nice added benefits, and works really well for some nearby Hellblasters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
