Right to this day though, he likes to brag that it literally took every single bolter on the table lol. but hey... when the thirster pops there is only ONE target.

I can imagine it right here: "The Lord came running towards me and my Battle-Brothers. We readied our bolters, ready to take down the foul traitor. Then he suddenly stopped and raised his arms. "The Emperor protect us" Harkius whispered. Then the Lord exploded. His mutated, tainted body broke in a thousand pieces, and there it were. A Bloodthirster. The warp-spawn laughed, for how could a humble bolter hurt him, Gorecrusher. The daemon then screamed it`s challenge. We, the Emperors finest, answered it with Holy bolter fire. The daemon was hit by 80 blessed shells. It screamed terribly, and fell to the ground. "For the Emperor!" yelled Brother-Captain Dannius, "Attack!"

creed??? i am un familiar

**shas'o vera**

creed, he's in the imperial guard codex, he has a rule called tatical genius which allows any imperial unit he chooses to have the outflank rule, but is does not say which units so in theory you could outflank using a squadron of titans and it would still be game legal, therefore the shout CCCCCCCCCCCRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEDDDDDDDDDDDD!!!!

lol, funny story, i painted and traded away a small force of Tau, i recently picked up Shadowsun just for kicks. My mom sends me a box of a bunch of my old stuff, at the bottom of the box, was a totally painted battle suit! it was missing a foot though lol, really random. but it made me chuckle cuz now I HAVE to at least make a squad for him lol.

**shas'o vera**

maybe you should make a little story about how he got there i can imagine it now:
hey..... where'd your foot go?
oh its a long story, and that ork over there keeps it as a war trophy
orks are idiots arn't they?

My broodlord and full retinue charged an IG blob, had to be over 50, and won combat by killing like 15 guys. Proceeded to sweep them off the board. Boy was he pissed!

Man thats like when i used to play Skaven, I love them to death, I had TWO HUNDRED clan rats, deployed in 100 rat units, and before i got smart and deployed them far from each other, one would break in combat and the other would get scared and run away too lol, it was like I have 200 troops to your 10, and I get wipped out?! good times

**shas'o vera**

i remember the time when i first used my exiled cadre codex (unoffical codex i found on the internet) on a large scale battle of about 2,000 points against 500pts space marines, 1000pts guardsmen and 500pts of SOB,
what happened was that he had a baneblade flanked by ogryms (cant spell it right) well, the baneblade was about 10" from my gun line, when the hammerheads destroyed it. the ogryms kept coming, and all i sent was one battlesuit, his battlecry was:
LLLLLEEEEERRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOYYYYYYY JJJJEEEEEENNNNNKKKKKKKIIIIINNNNNSSSSSS
i sent two full squads of battlesuits to follow him, only that one lone battlesuit survived, thats why i now call him shas'o ler'oy jen'kin's
