Lieutenant Titus Datasheet and Kill Team scenario.

[Nephaston]

Everyones favourite Ultramarine enters the stage as a ridiculous melee blender.

 

And Kill Team gets a scenario that emulates the video game.

The kill team rules include rules for Chairon and Gadriel.

[AutumnEffect]

Choinsword go burrrr.

 

Neat rules.

[Jukkiz]

what a wasted opportunity to paint gadriel on the dataslate with his veteran helmet stripe. So easy to do too...

Rules seem nice for three peeps and GM

He is just a sergeant. So only a red helmet.

Love Titus's rules. Think my UM Bladeguard have found their new leader.

[mecanojavi99]

Missed opportunity to give him a rule called "The codex Astartes doesn't support this action" where he and his unit get deepstrike as long as you don't have a Chaplain in your army.

[HeadlessCross]

Sustained is nice, but I think Bladeguard gain more benefit from just going with a regular Lieutenant for the Lethal instead. 

 

I actually think this could be fun in an Assault Intercessor blob, as getting Sustained (along with their native reroll rule) with that many attacks could be overwhelming for even elite targets.

Anti-infantry 2+ is kinda tasty, shame I can't think of a way to give him Dev Wounds or this guy would go through Custodes like a vindaloo through a short granny!

While I agree with the first part, I do not thank you for the nightmare fuel of the 2nd, Karhedron.

 

As HeadlessCross points out, while a normal LT is the more competitive option for Bladeguard, it can't compare to the savage joy of running a full Bladeguard squad with Titus and a Bladeguard Ancient into your opponents poor infantry (I like rolling lots of dice at once). The psychological effect of rolling so many high strength attacks will make them a nice distraction Carnifex.

 

Putting my sensible hat on he's actually brilliant in Sternguard as he'll be giving their rifles or combi-weapons sustained 1, or running him in a large Assault Intercessor Squad will make a fairly effective unit to help clear objectives.

I am kinda disappointed I can't put this guy in my White Scars army. He'd be a lot of fun with some Assault Intercessors.

He's pretty much Diet Ragnar tbh.

I mean, what do White Scars even have unique to them besides a single named character? Nothing stops you from making your own model and using a statline. It isn't even like Khan is good at anything anyway.

His rules are very mid. The positive is that he isn't a Legends unit.

 

I want GW to bring more characters from the novels to the tabletop where appropriate.

Him not being legends is kinda unclear. The actual filename reads; eng_40k10_promo_legends_space_marines_lieutenant_titus-wzkna66axg-zea0kudhfz.

This could mean he is intended to be Legends, but they forgot it on the sheet itself, or he isn't intended to be legends but forgot it in the filename, or it's some weird new subset of legends called promo-legends that isn't legends as we know it.

 

But even if he is legends I too would love more characters either way. (Gimme Marduk, GW you cowards)

[Orange Knight]

I imagine they may have intended for his rules to be in the Legends category, but he's probably one of the most famous 40k characters now and they have changed their minds.

 

I expect we'll see him as a datasheet in the next codex.

They changed the file name, and it doesn't have the Legends stamp on the datasheet.

 

No confusion at this point; he's just a datasheet in 40k now.

No disputing that. But I imagine they toyed with the idea of having him as a Legends character initially. 

 

I guess a new character makes up for the culling of a lot of the Ultramarines unique units and heroes.

 

Now if only GW would throw some love towards the Imperial and Crimson Fists. Anyone heard of Pedro Kantor?

I don't think anyone was disputing it; it's a followup to what the poster above you wrote. They removed any confusion from what he is; he's just a 40k datasheet.

 

Pedro Kantor has a non legends datasheet.

 

There's already far too many named characters in the game. Give us more generic characters that people can call whatever name they want and we would all be happy. Instead, continue the superhero track of "only big names" and watch as the universe shrinks.

A non legends datasheet, but also an old model that isn't for general sale. Forgotten by GW...

Love the rules....i still think the sculpt could have been better. But as an ultramarines fan, it would be nice if we got a unit...one thing we don't really lack is named characters at the stage.  kind of would have preferred if it's just going to be another character one of the other first founding that lacks character support gets the new named character for a change.

I didn't catch this before, but we've got some Faction Specific NPOs with this!

Still no Tyranid team, but you could probably reverse engineer one from this, right?

Also the Lictor NPO looks like they're using a different base than the others (who just look like modified Generic NPOs).

[INKS]

Man I want a nid team 

[INKS]

Added. You can only use these guys in kill team with this mission?   They aren’t an actual kill team?

[Brother Tyler]

Correct, the operatives presented in the mission pack are only usable with this mission pack. Of course, a permissive group may allow other things.

I found his pose works much better if tilted forwards, by cutting of the nubs that would slot in the base at an angle. That way it looks more believable as a leap.
