And that's not counting the possibility for 20 heavy weapons teams to add their own fire power.

I think he thought you were talking about the special character.

First off, that one Space Marine that's worth, like, 500 points. The one with the sword. He cuisinarted my Stompa by himself, once.

There is no such thing as a 500pt SM. Can you please elaborate?

Who needs a super infanty unit? I had a lone guardsman sergent survive the death of his squad, pass his Ld and then go onto melta bomb the offending Baneblade, take off 2 structure points and immobilise it in one combat phase...just saying. Besides, infantry have special characters/monsterous creatures. Tanks have superheavies. Am I the only one here not following this correlation?

Lynx, everyone is getting angry because this fella is always suggesting stupid things, never improving at all, or even trying, and half of his proposed rules arent even proposed rules, they are just 'superman and kryptonite and superheavies and shiz'. I am paraphrasing.

It's the one with the sword and the crazy high strength. I used to get him confused with Lysander for whatever reason.

That's the one.

He sliced up a Gargant in a single turn, effectively neutering it for the rest of the game- next turn he blew it up.

Yes...and no one likes Mephiston because he's absolutely ridiculous. He's a demon prince disguised as a SM that can hid behind tanks.
Sure he can't hide in units...but he's so fast he doesn't have to.

I quite like him. He overcame a massive psychic diesese and by doing so, he became the only o0ne ever.

Now, if everyone overcame the Black Rage, they may end up Mephiston. Eg, If Astorath fell to the Black Rage, or Seth or Dante, they could have their cpowers plus Str and T 6, and +3 wounds (over their standard).

While I can understand certain characters (Monster like ones, generally not infantry per say) but in all honesty, what you suggest is ridiculous and in all effectiveness OP.

The biggest indicator someone is a loser is them complaining about 3d printers or piracy.

Well according to the FAQ for Apocalypse Only troops can claim. So without lots of meat for the meat grinder there can be only ties. Also the idea of killing them with scarab swarms is great. Take out an Emperor that way. See opponent rage quit.

Yes, it is. But we have nothing to compare it to. Enhanced resilience and strentgth may be the result of overcoming the Rage. But because only 1 person has done it we cannot be sure.

In fact, you should be thankful Dante or Astorath, or Emperor Forbid, the sangunior, fell to the Rage asnd did a Mephy?

No, these are.one to 500per unit. Troops.


Do you get my point? This is Sanguinior, after overcoming the Rage. So be grateful Mephy is all you have to face.

I'm expecting an Imperial Knights supplement dedicated to GW's loyalist apologetics. Codex: White Knights "In the grim dark future, everything is fine."

lose everything that we hold dear, everything that keeps the business going. Our crops will wither, our children will die piteous
deaths and the sun will be swept from the sky."

Masonicon derped around on the official Spore Forums some years ago, spawning a host of memes from his often bizarre conspiracy theories, such as that McDonalds was part of an Anunakki plot to turn people into Zomdies.

In it's heydey the Sporum was one of the most bizarrely funny places around. Now like the game it's attatched to it's a floating corpse waiting to die. But really the Science and Spore people take the cake in being some really straight up weird folks.

Now as for super heavy stats on a infantry base. Do you really want to see a bolter immune character who can take cover saves and instant death with his basic weapons. I mean, do you really want to see that.
