Astorath the grim 6th edition tactics

Chicago, IL. I use Battlescribe, you can modify the vehicle entries to include Hull points, and go from there. Works really well for me.

Dec 09, Dylan Murphy rated it it was amazing Shelves: warhammerk , reading-challenge I have read bits and pieces about Astorath the Grim, and getting to see the world from his eyes was awesome. I would very much so like to see him get a full length novella or something, as he is an awesome character.

Whether the victims are fighting on Armageddon or in Ultramar , Astorath can sense their plight -- and he must go to them as his duty requires.

So it is that the Redeemer of the Lost has become a true Angel of Death, a legend of destruction amongst the Blood Angels, their Successor Chapters and their foes alike. Wherever Astorath the Grim treads, the enemy face not only his fury, but the onslaught of Space Marines caught in the twilight shadows of the Black Rage.

Astorath's sorrow for his doomed Battle-Brothers serves only to fuel a determination that they shall pass into death having known one last great victory.

In this cause he fights like a man possessed, resolute that his twin gifts of death and redemption shall not be denied. One of the sinister Erelim -- a quintumvirate of Blood Angels Chaplains charged with protecting the hidden reclusiam of Astorath the Grim on Baal ; note the lack of adornment save the Chapter icon displayed prominently on both pauldrons. The Erelim are comprised of a choir of five Blood Angels Chaplains. They vigilantly stand in the shadows, charged with protecting the hidden reclusiam of Astorath the Grim on Baal , whose location is only known to the Chapter Masters of the Blood Angels and their Successor Chapters.

Stripped of all insignia and adornment save their Chapter's symbol emblazoned upon their shoulder plates, they are as dark mirrors to the Sanguinary Guard that stand in the light of Lord Commander Dante. All comments and replies welcome!

Your tought is right and this is exactly why you'll often see pieces of the model in the form of Mephy but not often the character himself.

He still is cool in fluff armies and quite good as a characer but in the end we do have better HQ's for around the same point cost. Now if he made Death Compagny scoring or something along those lines it would have been an other world, potentially. Its a huge dent in his viability if you ask me Hitting at I1 is a huge disadvantage, even more so for characters with an higher then avarage initiative That said his S6 AP2 reroll succesfull invul saves is also pretty beastly doesent he also have arti armour?

I guess? Initiative 1 is not great but thats 5th ed thinking. Not a close combat beast but pretty decent and the fact he unlocks more DC units makes him pretty useful fluffwise. Its not Astoraths initiative thats the problem its lack of eternal warrior which is codex wide for us we only have one ET in the Sanguinor who can take an axe and looks pretty good now even at I1.

Challenges I guess are the way forward with him, because as Drunken Angel pointed out there aren't many AP2 close combat weapons out there that don't strike at I1, unless on a dreadnought etc. I can see Astorath fast becoming a regular in my armies now. But its not a problem, with correct positioning there is no way for the opponent to kill astorath.

You cannot single him out and if you use his low I to manoeuvre him and pile in correctly he won't get challenged, and even if he does most things won't gimp him in a duel, baring some of the nastier chaos lords. Calgar is among the Chapter masters to tell Dante, "Yes, you are in fact the boss of me. Posted 28 September - PM. At least he would have been able to take advantage of FC that way.
