You're selling the Visarch quite short here. First, in the Troupe unit, he gets lance, so he's wounding TEQ characters on a 3, and MEQ characters on a 2. Even Custodes & tougher space marines on a 4. Second, the Aeldari reroll with a 6 fate die and sustained hits 2 increases his average hits by a lot. If you use a farseer skyrunner (which is very common in Ynnari lists), he gets full rerolls to hit, which is extremely powerful with sustained 2, and the farseer guarantees the 6 on the reroll. He's often hitting 9 or 11 times with a farseer nearby. At AP4 D2, that results in a lot of dead marines or termies and/or an almost assuredly dead character. Then you have Yvraine and the 12 troupe to mulch whatever is left.
@19jsparker19
12 күн бұрын
This falls into the same thing as the Death Jester, the profiles look kinda powerful but not too standout or anything, then you realize that it can choose Sustained Hits 3, and paired with Fate's Messenger you statistically go from 3 near guaranteed hits to 7-9 hits with the Battle Host rerolls and suddenly your Death Jester is deleting enemy units that were silly enough to walk into his field of vision and his 6/-1/2 dev wounds Shrieker Cannon

Besides being an all-around BEAST in melee, Stracken has a key advantage over the Ogryn. Counterintuitively, Ogryn Bodyguards are NOT character models. I think Nork Deddog might be the only unit in the game with the Epic Hero keyword that is not a character. As such, they are not legal targets for the Epic Challenge stratagem. This little quirk leaves Stracken as the undisputed best “champion” unit in the Guard. o7

Thousands Sons player here. My goto melee infantry unit is actually using a formation of exalted sorcerors on disk, with one of them running arcane vortex to get +1 strength and damage. With torrent weapon profile having str6 ap-2 dmgD3 and melee having 5atk WS 2+ str6 ap-1 dmgD3, and each character running solo for basically un-overwatchable nuisance charges (up to 3 of them), they can work together to absolutely bully all but the most sturdy units off the board. They can even challenge a dedicated melee unit like bladeguard to some effect. For ~350pts, this gives you 6 cabal points as well, so a doombolt can probably be thrown in as well before the charge since you will have other cabal units making points

You know we are *cooked* as a faction when Auspex thinks one of the two Ogyrn Body Guards are better than Iron Hand Straken as a melee champion. When stuck in to a unit Straken and on the charge gets 6 WS2+ S7 AP-3 D2 hits, with Lethals, and full rerolls to hit and rerolls to wound. He isn't as tough as an Ogyrn, sure, though he does have a 3+/4++, but he does significantly more damage.

On Tau, while not a character or a single-model unit, Farstalkers do, I think, fit the bill. At game start you pick something and they get Lethals and Precision on all their attacks against it, so they do literally bounty-hunt a Character out. Granted, their weapons are basically all S4 AP0 D1 but you can bump that and bruise the Character or its unit beforehand for their bonuses to Hit/Wound or fish for Lethals if you really need to with a Lonespear as well.

Honestly Mephiston being a 4+++, fights first lone operative now he might be a pretty good contender for Blood Angel champion. Although if Precision is a pre requisite for characters that join units then maybe the new Astorath might be a good Champion for blood angels. Although him being high chaplain does sort of make him more of a commander same with mephiston being chief librarian. Honestly if we’re going based on lore (and my past experience in games) then the blood angels champion would honestly just be Dante.
