N1SB Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 Context - I bought like the last box of Recruit Edition. I got it for the Necrons, so it's like I got 5 Assault Intercessors + 1 Bladeguard for free. Now what should I do with them with the latest Balance Dataslates and wotnot? Just brainstorming. Previously, Shooty Intercessors were more popular with ranged Chapter Tactics, but I haven't really kept up. Am open to ideas. I know there's this new Warhammer Heroes lucky draw box/Strike Force Justian, but we know very little about them yet, so let's not worry about that. Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

BadgersinHills Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 (edited) Not familiar with Kill Team rules, but perhaps you could remove the Bladeguard's shield and replace it with a pistol for a fancy sergeant?

Castlerook Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 Not technically a Bladeguard, he's a Captain with shield. I would just say convert them and run them as a Kill-team. Or use them to learn new skills. Yeah, you could just paint them all the same chapter, but you could also try painting Chapters that you like the look of. Or even try some sculpting on them. Or run them as Deathwatch allies.

N1SB Posted July 11, 2023 Author Share Posted July 11, 2023 I'm listening and I'm leaning towards converting them into something. I'll give an example. At the end of Arks of Omen, the Khorne forces unleashes the Murder Curse. This affected Marines and even Sororitas, but the Custodes and Sisters of Silence were still immune. These models could be a good basis for Khorne-turned Primaris or something.

Sherrypie Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 Intercessors are still better in shooting, but it's not like their melee is bad either. I've been having fun with a fast melee-based squad of assault sarge, grenadier, two melee guys and two shooty boys.
