As I interpret it, they can still take a Lord Commissar, a Primaris Psyker, or Yarrick.

Primaris Psyker's ability to go toe-to-toe with SM commanders is, of course, legendary.

yarrick would actually do okay I would not count him out.
I however like the idea of baharroth and just flying away
how about the avatar he is pretty monster in cc.


Also the character you bring is not the only important thing, tactics in game could make a huge difference
try to make as many alliances as possible and try not to get into any fights

The very title of the thread states that this is a 1 vs 1 fight. So yes, while some things would work great in a big melee, that is not what the OP is asking for. Things like alliances are out, since it's hard to form an alliance with the other IC that is trying to eat your face.

I initially suggested Crowe since while you may not win all of the combats, you are also unlikely to lose them due to the last stab ability.

Another suggestion would be a GK Grand Master with Halberd, (init 7) psychotroke grenade and either an incinerator or psybolt ammo depending on how far apart the 2 characters start. 200 on the dot, and the grenade will help a good deal as long as you roll 2-5 on the d6 roll when using it. Init 7 should put him going before most big uglies, wounding high toughness things might be a challenge, but the force weapon might come in good there as well.

lol, what about ole zogwort? I don't remember his cost, but if he qualifies, it'd be funny to see how many characters you could squig before things were done.

Yeah he is only 145 pts so he could work plus it would be awesome to see how many people he could turn into squigs.

I would also consider throwing Wazdakka out there also. He has a powerklaw, kustom mega blasta, T6 from the bike, his bike has a st8 ap4 assault 4 attack and can fire everything after turbo boosting. You could just zip around all day and shoot the crap out of everyone.

Guard wins hands down.

CCS, plasma pistol, 4 plasma guns, carapace, chimera, ml/hf

195 points.

nope, like the OP said it is a single model. No squads, no bodyguards, no transports, just one dude going one on one to prove who is more badass.


WAZDAKKA!!!!!!!

Could take an epistolary librarian with termy armour and SS. Take nullzone and gate or vortes. Sit at 24" and watch everyone in the melee reroll their invuls against each other then get in there last minute. Only disadvantage is fast moving characters and other psykers to nullify the powers. If gate was taken then you could just ninja around and watch everyone kill each other haha. I think that should be 180pts.

IMHO Grimauldus without the servitors (assume he killed them) would do great, especially since he has a 3/4 chance of not dying every time he dies from losing his last wound. Celestine would have to survive. As to the Crowe logic of drawing instead of losing, I feel that these words from RvB will suffice.

"...but for a few, sweet moments Red Team will be victorious."

My sentence about Celestine should have read she would have to hope the game would not end before she could roll for resurrection.

Grimaldus only gets back up once though. Once that additional wound is gone, he's dead. So I doubt he'll do much more than die like any other Chaplain...

Yeh sorry guys I need to change the title, its not a 1v1 as such as there will be multiple chats in there with u. So its more of a free for all. An Yeh only single models so nothin in a tank, or not 3 counting as one etc etc.

SAG Big Mek

Personally, I've used Archons in these types of games quite nicely, with a soul trap load out that comes out to exactly 150 points, or an Agoniser load out that comes to 155 points.

Especially if it's a brawl, take Old Zogwort for the giggles. Squig all their would be champions

that and his profile isn't that bad. I just looked him up, he could be a threat so long as you didn't just barrel into combat with some of the super characters. Just sit back and do your psychic jig lol

Vulkan He'stan...

What about Wazdakka Gutsmek?

You can get a decent hive tyrant for 200 points. Regeneration makes them really tough to kill.

Lysander can do pretty well... 2+/3++ master-crafted S10 hammer...

Sorry, a 1/6 chance per turn per wound is not "really tough to kill". It's cool, but there's a lot that can do 4 wounds in a turn... or just ID him.

Tervigons wopuld be awesome, because they can create babies. Give them Regen to recover those 6 wounds, and Toxin Sacs to aid the Gants.

You could make a very solid harassment character Farseer.

(180) Farseer- Bike, Warding, Witnessing, Spirit Stones, Fortune, Mindwar

Leaves you 20 points for either another power or whatever.

Basically you cruise about and jsj with Mindwar. Fortune gives you re rolls on your 3+ and 4++, and Runes of Warding lashes out and puts wounds on every enemy psycher on the table. You've also got that 24 inch turbo boost to gtfo if something big and bad comes close to you. The only thing you really need to be afraid of are lots of ranged s6+ fire. Because if something gets through your fortune saves- you pop...

18 inch range on Mindwar + 6 inch Assault Phase jump, means that only a character who can assault 24 inches should be able to get to you (be careful of wolf lords who roll a 6 on their fleet roll...)

No way. With the number of hoods that would be on the board, you're not going to ever be getting off a psychic power.

Arena of Death 200pts? Celestine or Lysander seem like safe bets.

Arjac Rockfist

Our local gaming group did a Special Character Smackdown Bracket tournament and Kurgath, Deceiver, Nightbringer, and Arjac were in the final four. He's the only model less than 200 points.

http://www.mi40k.com/?p=3564

He killed Tycho, Old One Eye, Ghazghkull, and Urien Rakarth on his way to the Final Four.

But he is an upgrade to Wolf Guard, or something. Its HQ only, apparently.

And he isn't that special. I wiped him with a Scout Squad. Just stod sniping away with a Heavy Bolter firing Hellfire all game. Only threw the Hammer once, and I ent to ground and passed my 2+ cover. He charges, and Scout Sgt with Chainsword and bolt pistol kill him before he moves a muscle.

So the Space Wolf player was rolling bad. One anecdote does not a bad character make.

After chewing his way through Calgar, a Land Raider, a vindicator andan Ironclad. Just saying that he is nothing special, other than the hammer throw.

Aside from the Terminator armor, the S10 thunder hammer, the storm shield that gives him a bonus attack, Eternal Warrior and Stubborn? Not somebody you want to bump into in a dark alley.

I'm still standing by GUO. Has anything sturdier been suggested?
