lmao.. omg really i just bought a C'tan, like really 1 hour ago at lunch time. well guess he will look good when on display lol.

Its still a great looking model and fun to play in. I use a lord of fire C'tan in my castle list just to giggle when people run up to melta my Lith and they esplode.

Some of the gimmicks are cool in 2000 point battles, or anytime you can walk him up behind a Monolith. Actually, if you've got points for a Monolith, the 10 point Stealth Upgrade to give the C'Tan a 3+ cover save isn't too bad. Then you can give him Lord of Fire for 10 points and he's cheap. 205 points and he can help protect the Monolith from Melta weapons.

Imagine if you killed those Deepstriking Oblits with the Lord of Fire ability. That'd be hilarious.

At BS 5 the S9 AP2 shot isn't all that bad.

It's a super fun thing to take, I plan on buying one. Probably the Deceiver Model, as that looks more fun to paint.

Or we can try this one: Nemesor Zahndrekh and 5 warriors in a Night Scythe, move 36" towords enemy; Vargard Obyron and the DEATHSTAR unit DS within 6" of that Night Scythe.

But this plan is way too expensive.....XD

I.... LOVE THAT! How amazing is that!? It's super amazing, that's what.

I'd be tempted to take the 10 Sword & Board Lychguard with 1 Scythe Lord and 1 Scythe Orb Lord and Oby for that work.... That'd be stunning.

Lore.. yeah i got the Nightbringer model. i will still play him just because i never got to with the old codex, plus there is some other cool stuff, he has a 4+ invol save as it is with his Necro skin.

Apple... yeah we better be playing a 4000+ game to run that set up but that would most def work and work well.

Trust me, it's really fun, unless you use this plan against GK or BT : |
My friend and me have tried this plan, with lych fuard and scythe lord+MS and oby......

The first time is fighting with a codex SM player, he cannot kill the whole squad in the first turn and almost all his units have been wiped by the lychguards...
The second time is fighting with GK.....this squad has been wiped by Draigo and 5paladins

JUST FOR FUN!

and it's fun.

One thing:
In a blob like that, how important is having all s7 attacks? Wouldn't it be reasonable to have a warscythe or two and then rely on the free power weapon choice and the str 5 and mind shacklers for the rest of combat?

Enemy walkers, MS can not deal with them...

Ya, Warscythes or Bust.

You get the Sword & Board Lychguard to attack things with power fists and basically tar pit them. You also get them because that massive awesome shield is like a canvas when you're painting.

You get Warscythe Lychguard to win games. 5 Warscythe Lychguard have 15 monsterous-creature-equivalent attacks on the charge. Terrifying.

But the biggest problem is how to get them there : |

If we can find some better way to transport them, this squad will be more practical i think.

Vargard Obyron's GhostWalk.

Used on me:
Turns 1-3 a shooting match my CSM were out-gunned for ... Annih-barges with Teslas. Anyway.

Turn 4, VO GhostWMantled close to where I had Plague Marines & a KB Skull Champ. on an objective. He shot 'em up. They held in reduced numbers.
My Turn 5, I shoot him as best I can, but not enough. ResProtos go normally and he still has 8 or so ablative Immortals, and VO, NecronOverL, a Lord, Cryptek, etc. and 3 MindShackles in that pile.
His Turn 5 - He shoots more and assaults in, and my guys punch themselves in the face. One PM survives.
My Turn 5 - Needing to get him off the objective, required, unfortunately, another assault on my part. My 3 Oblits were the only option. It didn't go well, and that's a lesson I've learned.

Zahndrekh & VO's GWM are an add'l, *great* mobility tactic. So, there's your DeathStar's mobility. And with Zahn buffing units, they really go Grand Moff Tarkin ... err, Deathstar.
