Armageddon: The Space Marine Half

[Marshal Reinhard]

Come think of it, I even made a couple a while back. My guess was they could used as Gravis lieutenants or something (which still aren't a thing? That's also weird)

You're probably right, but Gravis with big two-handed eviscerator chainswords and (heavy?) bolt pistols in holsters would at least look awesome on the table :)

Kind of like not-yet-veteran-enough Bladeguard, but with a faaar less knightly mein to appeal to the "wilder" chapters.

Especially alongside that one Gravis Captain we got with the sword (Who I had, at one point, replaced his sword with an eviscerator chainsword.  Then I switched it back lol).  Would be a really slick looking squad.

A trio of gravis marines armed with eviscerators? Call the unit... Eviscerators!

Now that the datasheets are up, I have a (possibly stupid) question. Am I correct in reading it as if the Ancient's rules only affects himself? That surely can't be right, can it?

Since attaching leaders to units happens at the muster armies step the ancient and their bodyguard are one unit for all purposes. So the whole squad gets the +1OC. The fnp is however for the ancient only.

Thanks, I knew I must be missing something. However afaict the wording is exactly the same for both rules (and the Librarian’s inv save, for another example), so how do we know what carries over and what doesn’t? With the captain there is a clear distinction between unit/model, but I’m not seeing this elsewhere.

Psychic hood has the "This Unit" wording while Unbreakable Resolve has the "This model" wording in addition to either units conditions.

Ha! I somehow completely missed that, even while reading it several times. Thanks for taking the time
