wait wait wait wait... huh..?

With the new space marine codex we've gotten a new heroes that buff our armies like crazy.

I just wanted to have anecdotes about experiences playing against/with the armies that have these heroes, and how you would use them/ beat them in the future. Also, can these heroes be used effectively in conjunction with one another e.g. shrike and a captain with a bike, or Shrike and Sicarius.

Also, what are the relative strengths of each hero vs each other, and vs their point cost.

Sorry about how rushed this is but I accidentally pressed enter

Not too many people want to respond to a poll with 12 options, all of which are opinion-based.

They're not my opinions. the only words that matter are the names. The rest is merely feeble attempts at humor. Just vote for whomever you think is the best of the special characters. I'm sorry if you think that I'm putting my opinions in the polls. I'm not and I don't mean to, I'm just trying to be funny.

Apparently I failed, but i think it's funny so it stays

And sorry for the needless vent, I was just tired

Lysander. He's an unkillable tank.

Kor'sarro Khan. He gives the ability to outflank and it is pretty damn good. Especially in those missions, where you put one objective in your deployment zone. He can also buff a cc unit greatly with furious charge and hit and run and is not too bad himself.

An assault straight from the reserves for victory!

What would you rather have a unit in 40k doing?

It's better to simply be an idiot, as no one can call you on it here. -H.B.M.C.

Cap'n Gordino's instant grammar guide:
"This is TOO expensive." "I'm going TO the store, TO get some stuff."
"That is THEIR stuff." "THEY'RE crappy converters."
"I put it over THERE." "I'll go to the store THEN."
"He knows better THAN that." "This is NEW." "Most players KNEW that."

Nope. You can only use ONE character's Chapter Tactics. Thus, you could either have Fleet, OR Outflank for all of your units.

Also, Bikes can't Run, so they can't make use of Fleet anyways.
