Jolemai Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 I don't mean those with the Lone Operative rule. Is there any reason to take a Leader without a bodyguard? Or are you just asking for trouble? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karhedron Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 Seems to me they would be easy to kill off without a bodyguard. Also most Leaders apply buffs to their attached units. If you don't attach a unit, those buffs go to waste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonsoftaurus Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 Maybe in a lower point game some could still be tough enough, like a Gravis Captain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tychobi Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 Bike captain with artificer armor and a relic shield seems like an ok solo. Free armor of contempt and all he gives up is assault for guns. 2+4++5+++, 7 wound at t5 isn't terrible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9x19 Parabellum Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 A Captain in Gravis Armour coming out of a transport that has a couple unused slots is a beast. Give him artificer now you got a T6, 2+,4++,5+++, 6 wounds, who halves damage and hits like a truck in close combat. Also you're not wasting any buffs since he has no bodyguard buffs (his Rites of Battle can be used on anyone). If you play BT you could also give him Tannhauser's Bones and reduce incoming damage to 1/4. (I think). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blade of Sigismund Posted 21 hours ago Share Posted 21 hours ago Some factions, yes. Space marines, no. I think the only one I would run is the lone operative reaver lieutenant guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, Rites of Battle can only be applied to the owner's unit. Quote Rites of Battle: Once per battle round, one unit from your army with this ability can be targeted by a Stratagem for 0CP, even if another unit from your army has already been targeted by that Stratagem this phase. The bit in bold highlights that only the unit with the ability can benefit from it. The Captain cannot hand it out to an unrelated unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
