happyslugger Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 Has anyone built the latest Gravis Captain yet? I am strictly a rule of cool guy and planned to build mine with double fists anyway, but with the new twin linked rules for 10th I think this could be pretty decent?? Anyone done similar?

Karhedron Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 I built dual fists for my Space Wolf Gravis Captain and it looks very nice. As for rules, we don't really have enough information to go on yet. Will the Fists count as twin linked or will there be some other bonus? If you are going for rule-of-cool then go for it. But we should know the new unit abilities and rules in about 2 months so it might be worth holding off or magnetising just in case. happyslugger 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/378349-latest-gravis-captain/#findComment-5936051 Share on other sites More sharing options...
happyslugger Posted April 18, 2023 Author Share Posted April 18, 2023 (edited) I was going to go dual fist anyway because it looks better (imo). May see what the options are for magnets once I'm building him Edited April 18, 2023 by happyslugger Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/378349-latest-gravis-captain/#findComment-5936052 Share on other sites More sharing options...
CCE1981 Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 Magnets. Tastes change, and rules. Built mine with magnets. He looks cool and I can swap if my tastes or riles change. happyslugger 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/378349-latest-gravis-captain/#findComment-5936059 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paladin777 Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 (edited) I built mine with the power sword because I like swords. That said, I also think it was the best option for BA at the time against most targets. I also didn't put the servo skull on and filled in the hole. I didn't like it.

happyslugger Posted April 19, 2023 Author Share Posted April 19, 2023 Yeah I am not a fan of all the trinkets and small items they add to some models. I even left some off the likes of Mortarian and others as I just saw them snapping.

Helias_Tancred Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 (edited) I haven't painted in over 8 months. I recently purchased the mentioned model for my Blood Angels. I'm painting him now. I went with the power sword/auto bolt pistol fist load out. I'll post to my army pics post when I get him painted.

Spyros Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 I painted him recently. Only have him in a family photo... I didn't like the servo-skull, found it fragile and I removed it.

happyslugger Posted April 20, 2023 Author Share Posted April 20, 2023 (edited) See, I have the original one with power sword and was going to see if running double fists with my flame aggressors would be good.

I have, and he’s my favorite model.

Potato phone picture attached. Things are obviously up in the air for 10th still, but with 9th rules I think the sword would be better to run alongside aggressors. One more power fist attack is cool, but you've already got a ton of those. The sword helps keep the unit from being tarpitted by being truly exceptional against 1w infantry. 8 attacks on the charge (9in assault doctrine) with 2's to hit, 2's to wound -3 AP against chaff? Yes please! Edited April 20, 2023 by Paladin777 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/378349-latest-gravis-captain/#findComment-5937508 Share on other sites More sharing options...
