brother_b Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Hello I’m starting a White Scars army and have so far completed a fully painted 500 point list; infantry heavy with three troop choices. We are playing a slow growth crusade campaign. My HQ currently is a Primaris Captain with sword and relic shield. At 2000 I believe I’ll be running a battalion with 3 HQs. I’d like to take a librarian, but can’t decide what my 3rd HQ should be. I’ve considered lieutenants because I could take two for the single slot but a Chaplain would be amazing as well. Maybe even a second librarian, not sure really. Thoughts from the battle brothers?

mel_danes Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Chaplain or Lt will give you utility, it really depends on your needs and aversion to expensive HQ's. I run an Lt all the time,expense and function being my goal. To wound reroll is great and they are not expensive. However the multi user chaplain is a great unit as well. Others with far more playtime will come in soon, they should have good anecdotal intel.

XeonDragon Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Lt and Chaplain are my must-takes. Captain, Techmarine, Librarian in descending order after that. I use an Apothecary (elite not HQ, I know) as my warlord for my RG successor lists.

Orange Knight Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Captain Librarian Lieutenant or Primaris Chaplain on Bike If you run a Redemptor, as an example, you can spend 1CP to recreate the Lt Aura. brother_b and XeonDragon 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/371624-which-three-hqs/#findComment-5739576 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karhedron Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Another vote here for the Primaris Chaplain on bike. He is tough, hitty, mobile and can dish out a variety of useful buffs depend on need.

Oxydo Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 The Primaris Chaplain also looks pretty smashing. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/371624-which-three-hqs/#findComment-5739602 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jorin Helm-splitter Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 I'd recommend the Primaris Chaplain on a Bike as well. Its fast and because of the litanies feels very customizable. White Scars have also traditionally had a bike theme.

Jacques Corbin Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 I say Chaplain on bike, but you are starting at 500 and working up to 2000 points. Do you have any ideas about how you plan to phase units into your list that you would like to share? Or are you going to let the meta at this event decide what you add and when? brother_b 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/371624-which-three-hqs/#findComment-5739745 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berzul Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Ive seen first hand what that Primaris Chaplain on Bike can do in a White Scar army. ... get one.

Ragnar69 Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 If you have Grey Knights or Thousand Sons players, a librarian becomes more of a hinderance than an asset. A Chaplain on bike is really good for scars. In case you want 2 Redemptors, a Techmarine is also worth a look. If you use the Indomitus Captain, I assume you run him with Bladeguard. I would rather put a Lt. Or Judiciar with Bladeguard and make the Captain more mobile with bike or jump pack XeonDragon and brother_b 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/371624-which-three-hqs/#findComment-5740016 Share on other sites More sharing options...
brother_b Posted September 10, 2021 Author Share Posted September 10, 2021 (edited) I say Chaplain on bike, but you are starting at 500 and working up to 2000 points. Do you have any ideas about how you plan to phase units into your list that you would like to share? Or are you going to let the meta at this event decide what you add and when? Great info so far, I’m definitely not chasing the meta, just using what I like. I were working up to 2000 from 500, 250 point increments. I probably have won’t have room for my third HQ until about 1500 points. Ive posted my 500 point list over on the white scars forum. I will link it here. http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/371349-the-storm-follows-us-brother-bs-white-scars/ Edited September 10, 2021 by brother_b Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/371624-which-three-hqs/#findComment-5740305 Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said, crusade doesn’t use the same secondaries so I’m not really concerned about the matched play secondary that thousand Sons used to crush other psychers. I really want to add blade guard, not sure when they will get into the list. I’m hoping for a squad of five, and yeah a lieutenant would be awesome with them. The bike chaplain seems iconic, I’m really leaning towards him. At 750 points, I’m considering adding some eradicators, and my librarian. In fact I think that’s pretty locked in stone, at 1000 points I will add a redemptor dreadnought. after that we skip 1250, and go to 1500. At that point I hope to add my blade guard, and perhaps my third HQ.
