So Be'lakor has been out for a few days now, and i'll admit, I broke down and bought his ruleset. I was wondering if any of you guys have had a chance to try him out?

Is he as durable as his rules seem to indicate (as in does access to Invisibility make up for his lack of power armour?)? Is he as big of a force multiplier as Fateweaver? Is he as good a MC hunter as a Balesword Nurgle prince?

In short, has his real-life performance matched the online hype?




Sorry for any possible typos, wrote this in my droid phone from work

In my opinion he is waaay to squishy for 350pts, and I really can't imagine him killing 350pts worth of enemy units. The way to make him really good is to abuse his free invisibility. For example, in a screamerstar list since the grimoire goes on the screamers, so fatey is very vulnerable. If you cast invis on fatey you remove this problem. The way I would see him played is as a support who has the ability to wreck elite units if he desires. I can see him played is in an allied csm detachment to daemons giving a Tzeentch unit a 2+ rerollable cover save. By himself I don't really see a use because he needs to be on the ground for CC and that is where he gets shot to death and he can't take hits in cc very well.

In short, bad by himself but amazing when supporting a deathstar and against warlords.
