Just made my Karamazov out of an old dread...turned it into a giant walking chariot/platform.

I want to play him for the fun of it and am wonding what you guys can come up with for fun units?

Currently I am thinking a Monkey, 3 Multimeltas and a plethora of Crusaders.

Crusaders and crusaders only.
(well maybe some special weapon acolytes. but shove them into a raider.

Roll up, get into assault. and drop the bomb.

totally model one with a shield covering his head.

Edit: woh also forgot one of the assassins that pop out inside a unit.

Karamazov can't enter a vehicle...he also cant move and use the strike in a turn, though he can assault...also remember that gk strikes can hit every turn and alternate between 3 kinds.

Desubot seems to be recommending units to target not to attach Karamazov to.

I am posting without my codex so please correct me if I am wrong but as I remember it Karamazov must target a friendly unit to get no scatter and he does not have split fire. This means if he joins a squad they have to fire at the same target as him...

I always ran him with Laspistol/CC weapons acolytes hunkered in fortified ruins or an ADL/fortification. This gives him lots of spare wounds that are not easy to remove. Another fun thing I have tried is running him with crusaders and possessed so the majority of wounds in the squad are Karamazov's and so the unit toughness is pretty high.

Oh sorry yes when you said fun units for him assumed his ability my bad

I run a unit containing.
coteaz
3 plasma cannon servitors
2 monkeys
2 plasma gun acolytes
1 melta gun acolyte
4 stormbolter acolytes
and then sometimes carapace armour cause I roll +1 armour save alot.
Works pretty well for me.

Do you ever fire on your own men? Seems like the best use is for the tank killer shot.
