apathy ales Posted January 11, 2019 Report Share Posted January 11, 2019 (Smash)Captain Aldo Raine is assembling an elite force of Blood Angels, known as the Indomitus Bastards.

Ish Posted January 12, 2019 Report Share Posted January 12, 2019 See, now all I can picture is Mephiston slowly walking through a tunnel, his force staff making an intimidating thumping noise against the stone... "That's Librarian Calistarius Mephiston. You might know him better by his nickname: "The Baal Bear." Now, if you heard of Aldo the Angel, you gotta have heard of the Baal Bear. He bashes their brains in with a baseball bat is what he does. Now, Gortoof, I'm gonna ask you one last throne-damned time, if you still respectfully refuse, I'm callin' the Baal Bear over. He's gonna take that big stick of his, and he's gonna beat your arse to death with it. Now, take your squig-lickin' finger and point out on this map what I want to know." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just model him with hammer and shield stowed on his back, then he could hold a big knife as he jumps towards battle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ish Posted January 18, 2019 Report Share Posted January 18, 2019 Captain Aldo has enough AP to handle anything with seriously heavy armor. That Thunderhammer starts out at a base four attacks at WS 3+ / S8 / AP -3 / D 3. If he decides to go for broke and use the right Relic (Angels Wing) and Warlord Trait (Artisan of War) combo to enhance him, he could end up with four attack (five on the charge) at WS3+ (re-rolling 1s) / S8 (+1 to wound) / AP -3 D 4. That's an average of 8.64 wounds on a friggin' Knight Castellan. Heck, if you were to throw him up against Roboute Guilliman, its an average of 4.32 wounds... and that's without springing for the "fight twice" Stratagem.

There is also the 1CP strategum to give him d3 extra attacks. So far I've been running him with the warlord trait that has him end up with 5+ fnp, rerolling 1's, but at some point i wanna try the +1 damage weapon as you mention.

But since he only has the one model with good AP (maybe lemartes too?), he may have to choose between multiple targets that require AP. Unless the opponent is just sitting there, waiting for him to come (like my TAU were last time...), he would have to pick which target is best for him to attack. Anyway, I don't know that he needs it, just giving him something to think about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iron Hands is the best for this, actually. Take an Iron Hands Space Marine Captain on Bike equip him with a Thunder Hammer and Storm Shield, upgrade the shield to The Shield Eternal relic, and give him the Iron Resolve Warlord Trait. Toughness 5, Wounds 7, Save 3+ / Invulnerable 3++ / Feel No Pain 6+++. Plus, the Shield Eternal halve all damage he takes (rounding up) which makes those FNP rolls even better, since you're rolling less of them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not going to crack open a tank by himself, but he's quite capable of killing half a squad of Tactical Marines, solo. Plus, you know he's going to be operating close to those Death Company... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ish Posted January 19, 2019 Report Share Posted January 19, 2019 This Battle Report article was specifically pitting a pair of competitive, tourney-focused players against each other. I don’t have the magazine with me, so I can’t tell you there names. The lists are perfectly legal and just as valid as any fluffy list I could come up with. Ain’t my cuppa tea, but plenty of people do enjoy this sort of thing... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's gunna take a week to regroup (I'm out of town this week!), but Captain Raine has some ideas to call up The Baal Bear and some boys in gold for Week 4 (unless I can find a late make up game for Week 3). See ya all net week!
