dice4thedicegod Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 I think it's disappointing to see builds focusing on attributes of certain characters. So what if I play Flesh Tearers and I don't get Lemartes? Or four BA players in a tournament all have him? A rule I miss from old editions was special characters required your opponent's consent and were not tournament legal. It put a different spin on things when we had to build with our actual armies and not Superheroes. At the moment, due to more freedom with equipment/stratagems/relics, the generics seem to hold their own. No one tells a blood angels player “please don’t include Dante in your list but I’m fine with smash captains!” Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/356481-sanguinary-priests-and-your-thoughts/page/2/#findComment-5330425 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indefragable Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 My issue is that a character like Lemartes provides capabilities that do not exist elsewhere (re-rolling charges for DC). If Captain Thompson, the hero of Planet Fluff 42, had rules that were simply a Captain's re-rolls To Hit of 1 + a Lieutenant's re-rolls To Wound of 1.. ...or if Dante as a Chapter Master let you re-roll all To Hit rolls, but BA also had a strategem ala the SM book to upgrade a dude to become Chapter Master (albeit not with Dante on the same board)... ....then I would be more open to the idea of "no special characters unless opponent gives permission." As it currently stands, however, those special characters provide often necessary buffs or abilities that simply can not be found elsewhere, and so a certain faction is arguably "ineffective" at a competitive level without them.

BLACK BLΠFLY Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 I love to use Mephiston. Player consent was a long long time ago. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/356481-sanguinary-priests-and-your-thoughts/page/2/#findComment-5330930 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bludainjel Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Essential for me personally, I love the plus one strength stacked with the red thirst on my sanguinary guard + ancient with banner squad for taking out big nasties like the storm Lord my 8 man unit plus priest wiped out in two turns of combat the other night losing only 3 models in the process Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/356481-sanguinary-priests-and-your-thoughts/page/2/#findComment-5332365 Share on other sites More sharing options...
CptSlambo Posted June 25, 2019 Author Share Posted June 25, 2019 Just curious can a sanguinary priest heal a primaris? I assume yes the rules as written just says friendly infantry unit but I just wanted to make sure.
