I have a problem and would like some advice. We play 1k in our group and we have a guy who brings this model every game. Its an HQ and its legal and everyone cant seem to kill it at that level. I feel like its a bit OP at this game level and it should be a Lord Of War.

Suggestions on what to do?

Thanks,

Hrm.

Not up on his 8th edition rules or on how IC rules apply to Dreadnoughts. Can you help us understand why he's so hard to kill?

Otherwise I would tell you to put a couple Lascannons in your 1000 point list and go to town.

He's a character. 9 wounds. T9. 2 AS. 5++ and has a 4+FNP.

A couple of lascannons doesnt quite cut it.

Try to keep him at range? He has a threat range of 14" (6" move + 8" Heavy flamer weapon). And that's pretty short range for 40% of an army's points (He costs 400).

Even if it were a Lord of War, it'd be legal (unless your group disallows those in 1k games), he'd just need another cheap HQ to throw in.

Have you talked to the individual about it?

On a 4x4 is very hard to just keep him at bay.

He thinks its fine and balanced to use in 1k. He doesnt see an issue since hes the only salli player in the group and hes winning regardless of mission or opponent.

Do the others who you play with think the same as him or agree with you that he might be a bit strong? If enough people find that its too strong just politely confront your friend as a group and inform him that you dont want him to bring that guy anymore. Its not fun for you to just get stomped and he will see that or he will refuse in which case just refuse to play him.

Yeah, this is an out of game issue. Talk to him, explain that he's making the game less fun for everyone else, and politely ask him to not bring the model.

Hes also Power Level 20.

Points of Reference:

G man is power level 18

Magnus is power level 21
