Guest Triszin Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 imo, apothecaries should have jump packs and iron halo as standard. just make them into a semi tanky hq choice that is focused on support of infantry Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/359365-new-mephistonpsychic-awakening-p3/page/15/#findComment-5428177 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blindhamster Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 Probably better to bring back refractor fields and give them a 5++. Iron halo wouldn't make sense.

Frater Antodeniel Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 Regarding Mephiston, i think that as important as the Character rules, would be an expanding of the Sanguinary Discipline, with either access to the Librarius codex discipline, should the BA codex becomes a supplement in the future, or with a raw expansion of the Sanguinary Discipline. An expansion of the Sanguinary Discipline with powers akin the old "fear of the darkness" that would act on the Moral, or life stealing powers (You wound on 5+ and regenerate one HP, for example), or raw healing powers (regenerate D3 wound for friendly unit for example). It could be interresting, and even more if Mephiston were allowed to manifest three powers.

The Unseen Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 I'd love if GW remember refractor fields for marine HQs. Somehow the milions of commissars and guard officers all get issued one, but one of the few thousand high command marines in the galaxy? Nah. If you aren't worth an iron halo or in terminator armor, you get no invuln save.

Chaplains even got it buffed to a 4++ this edition. ;) Luckily the guys carrying the geneseed, and especially ours who have the blood of Sanguinius in their veins, aren't as important as a Chaplain or Captain apparently. :D Blindhamster and Zephaniah Adriyen 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/359365-new-mephistonpsychic-awakening-p3/page/15/#findComment-5428509 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Unseen Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 (edited) It was 4+ as far back as 5th at least. Before that I don't know. But the fact that librarians, lieutenants, ancients, and apothecaries can't have any protection beyond their armor is kinda silly, considering how important they are. Anyway, Triszin, or anyone, got a link?

Leonaides Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 Chaplains rozarius has been a 4+ since second edition. Possibly you might be getting it mixed up with a combat shield?

There's a shard in sanguinor and now a shard in mephiston? It sounds more like the Sanguinor and Mephiston are avatars of two conflicting aspects which may or may not origin with Sanguinius, with the noteable difference that the Sanguinor has given himself completely to that noble and heroic aspect (so he basically became that aspect himself) while Mephiston is 'just' channeling the dark aspect. It's entirely possible that those two aspects just have manifested in Sanguinius and in return got shaped by him since that's how weird the warp and primarchs can be.

Indefragable Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Mephiston is looking quite healthy in the new banner art for Blood of Baal: He could totally be holding a guitar in his left hand, pointing at the audience. I also like how he has a bit more of Sanguinius' looks to him, though I know others will miss his"dark lord" visage from previous depictions. Personally, I love the idea of him having the facial features of Sangy, but being far darker and more menacing. I put my own thoughts on the Spoilers so far here as well: http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/359973-darkness-in-the-blood-spoilers-incoming/?p=5429462 Spyros and Dolchiate Remembrancer 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/359365-new-mephistonpsychic-awakening-p3/page/15/#findComment-5429470 Share on other sites More sharing options...
