Epic Hero - Unit Matchups

[Tacitus]

I was just thinking who matches with what with the new Codex:

 

Azrael - Inner Circle Champions

Azmodai - Assault Intercessors or BGV

Belial - Either/Or/Any Terminator.

Ezekiel - Not really important, realistically the gimmick is the First Company Task Force, some Reivers to flip Battleshock with a Fear Made Manifest enhanced LT - and as many Battle shock triggers as you can get. 

Sammael - Not really much choice beyond Black Knights.

Lazarus - BGV or Assault Intercessors but meh. 

Lion - surround with Infiltrators led by a Phobos Libby.

I'd say surround the Lion with the new Inner Circle Companions.
GW aren't really hiding the fact these guys are The Risen, after all.

That would be thematic, but they don't really do much to keep the Lion a Lone Operative - especially without a 4++ of their own - BGV last longer keeping the Lion around longer - worst case paint the BGV in ICC colors - but realistically some Shrouded-By-Phobo-Libby Infiltrators feel like the best guard for both loyalists primarchs.  You can't shoot them outside 12, and can't deepstrike inside 12.
