Chaplain Elijah Posted December 11, 2019 Author Share Posted December 11, 2019 I think it's a trap to judge our characters on their own. With so many points drop on them including the special characters, our new strength is to combine characters and our various bubble to make them shine. As i said in the other thread, a Deathwing Champion is ok on his own but with the support of Asmodai and a Deathwing Ancient he become a fearsome threat.

Berzul Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 And the Company Ancient has a LOT to offer, really. Specially in a plasma heavy list, and even more so paired with a regular Apothecary. Also, anecdotal, I know, but last night my Company Champion, humble though he may be, slay a mighty Flying Hive Tyrant on the board. (Died when the beast rolled a 6 upon dying and took him with it, but that's besides the point) Interrogator Stobz and G8Keeper 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G8Keeper Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Extremely cinematic death though Berzul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angel of Solitude Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 I'm quite a fan of the DW Ancient - the list of units that have the DEATHWING keyword is significant, and if you want, you can spend a CP to make a Dreadnought DW too. Given how dirt cheap Melee Contemptor Dreads are, it's certainly a fun option! He's also a potential option for Foe-smiter...4 S4, AP-1 D2 shots is not bad to have around when there are Primaris on the board!

aura_enchanted Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 The ravenwing apothecary has always been very useful but yes he's now invalulable (of your going to take one). The ravenwing ancient too if he ever can take a banner that doesn't only benefit ravenwing. As it stands I'll probably stick to primaris ancient as he's flat out the jack of all trades. The deathwing champion is okayish, to me champions won't be worth taking until I see a relics sheet for chapter champions and so on like codex marines have. That would help their case a lot more then a cost drop. And my excelsior drop has freed up so many damn points it's not even silly. In my 1500 pts list I've saved over 150 and my 2k list I broke 200. I'm a happy man. G8Keeper 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dice4thedicegod Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 I’m tempted to take sammael on jetbike in my soup lists in lieu of another smash captain... he’s basically the same points with one less damage but more attacks, movement, toughness, wounds and shooting... seems great at 140 Interrogator Stobz 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadman Wade Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 Yeah, smash captains got pricey, Sammael looks like a much better option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnakeChisler Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 (edited) Yeah, smash captains got pricey, Sammael looks like a much better option.Sam has always been decent at beating stuff up the jet bike is OK your getting twin storm bolters as well as the cannon and you can use speed of the Raven on him the bike profile gives you bolter discipline for the full 8 shots at 24" and bikes get auto 6 on the advance for 20" move shoot then charge with the strategem Amend that just checked his rules he gets 2d6 for the advance "swift judgment" and your getting 6 wounds on a T6 model Edited December 14, 2019 by SnakeChisler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJD Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Have the dark talons points been alters in every book since 8th dropped. They really don’t know what to do with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
