Maggotlord Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 Hi all, I´m about to build my Chaplain with jumppack. Which Loadout do you think is good for him? Any interesting weapons / relics / traits I have to look for? Thanks in advance Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/374907-good-chaplain-loadouts/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karhedron Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 I have to admit I have really fallen in love with the Chaplain on bike lately so that is my default loadout. However if the Jump Pack is your preferred option, the first thing I would add is an Inferno pistol. The ability to squeeze off an extra melta shot from a unit you know will be close to the enemy is golden and can take even heavy targets by surprise. With the changes to Command Points in Nelphilim, I would advise thinking carefully about Relics and WLTs. What job do you want your Chaplain to do? If you are taking him for his Litanies then Master of Sanctity with Wise Orator is worth considering. Chanting 2 Litanies on a 2+ rather than 1 on a 3+ significantly boosts his utility. If you have lots of other fast units for the Chaplain to support (Jump Units, bikers etc) then Rites of War is worth considering as the ability to give ObjSec to nearby units can be handing for capturing hotly-contested Objectives. I am not completely sold on the Relic Crozius as I don't know if it is enough of an upgrade over the standard Crozius to be worth the Relic slot. You can always use Mantra of Strength if you wish to boost his melee output. Defensive Relics are worth a look. Artificer Armour is good and Armour Indomitus is even better as the combination of a 2+ save and Armour of Contempt makes for a pretty durable Character.

Jolemai Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 All mine are kept simple, with options to magnetise if need be. Imo, it all depends on how you wish to use the model. Almost all the Chaplains we have access to have been discussed in the Unit of the Week series if that's of any use: http://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/342247-blood-angels-unit-of-the-week-database/ Helias_Tancred and Maggotlord 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/374907-good-chaplain-loadouts/#findComment-5844031 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helias_Tancred Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 I prefer crozius + inferno pistol on mine. In the past I did take the relic crozius. It was decent. Going forward not sure I would spend the CP on it though.

MasterOfAardvarks Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 I've had fun with a Master of Sanctity, with the relic only they can take, supporting Reivers and some assault marines. Add Rites of War as a WT, and enjoy snatching objectives and screwing over leadership. Popping the Terror Troops strat can nab well-held objectives, while the re-deepstriking strats let you do it twice, if you do that last one take a second deepstriking HQ to help them out. Weirdly, for this build I prefer flamers on the assault marines, to maximise anti-infantry shooting and really score for the LD shenanigans that the Chap and Reivers can do, but meltas are good for taking out enemy leaders. I've found that this set up synergises well with Eliminators for that reason, as well as heavy-duty anti-armour that can keep in range like Lascannon devastators or melta-toting deepstrikers. It isn't especially competitive, but can catch people offguard. Hope that helps.

Do you mean the Primaris one? Yes, sorry I should have clarified. He is incredibly fast and tanky and you can make some really fun builds with him. At this risk of going off-topic, I like Armour Indomitus, Gift of Foresight and use Artisan of War to give him an Adamantium Mantle. You get an 8W T5 Character wit Armour of Contempt and a 2+/4++/5+++ (as well as a once-per-game 3++ for a phase). He also gets free rerolls making him incredible hard to kill.

appiah4 Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Crozious & Power Fist for me because nothing is more badass than a man in a skull mask rushing at you with a club in one hand and a boxing glove in the other.

CCE1981 Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 I like the Powerfist upgrade with Mantra of Strength, this means you don’t need to give him a weapon relic upgrade in the CP deficit of Nephilim.

XeonDragon Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 Combi-melta is fun for a bit of ranged damage after advancing. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/374907-good-chaplain-loadouts/#findComment-5850986 Share on other sites More sharing options...
