palatine in a DH list
« on: January 24, 2007, 08:58:35 PM »
i was just wondering if it's worth my while to include a palatine with jump pack, bolt pistol and cc weapon for 57 point as a unit to tie up enemy shooty squads or should i just spend the points on psycannons and incinerators.  this is going to be the second HQ.  i was just thinking about this as a fast alternative to death cult assasins

i would not bother. cheap but exceptionally soft. She won't tie up anything. With T3 a unit of guard can beat her in a fight.
The two psycannons you can get are much better.

If you want to get a second HQ, and already have a GKT, get a cheap Inq lord with retinue (~85 for basics (lord, melta bombs, PW,  2 x acolytes and a familiar) and hide them. scoring unit for a quarter or contesting stuff.

If you are playing DH Inq lord already, ally a WH lord.



However, everything about Tarrin is unfair and should be sanctioned with extreme prejudice.

The Globals have issued a 2:1 ruling that yes, yes everything about Tarrin is indeed unfair. We have also been sullied merely by contemplating this.

While SoB characters are good in assault with enough wargear and use of faith, they're not when practically naked and with only 1 faith point to use.  As stated above, the best you could do would be to tie up Guard equivalent, but you would lose/die pretty fast.  A death cultist is a much better alternative to that character.
