The Avengers, you say?

Well we all know who Tigurius/Calgar would be. Captain America, the magazine-face concidered to be the boss of the group only by their creators

But we all know who's the real Captain here. Iron M.. Armed Mephiston.

Altough I can't figure out who on earth would be Hulk... Smashfether?

So many questions to answer...

I love this line of thought. Does it deserve its own thread though?

Hawk eye - corbs, black widow - inquisitor whats her name, hulk would have to be calgar - look at the fists man!

**Desubot**

Inquisitor valeria would be baaad you wouldn't be able to get any psyker blessings off.

Another option for T5 is inquisitor karamazov i think (iirc he is a IC in C inq)

that IS a big deal even though Iron Arm is a flat +3 which hurts... really hurts.

Yes, Iron Arm got an upgrade and a nerf both. The straight +3 is nice, better than before (where the average was +2 and only 1/3 of the time did one get +3), but the loss of EW is somewhat of a nerf/balancing. That said, at T9 all Mephiston has to worry about is D weapons and weapons with ID.

On the other hand, he gets smash which instantly cures his 2+ save weakness, and if any of the Psykers roll up Endurance; they ALL get EW and 4+ FNP.

With Loth, you can select Endurance, Invisibility, and Forewarning to ensure that they're as tough as can be right off the bat.

Fish for Hammerhand and sanctuary with Draigo to further beef them up If you can get Gates that's good too as you can increase your threat range.

Dig around Biomancy for warp speed and Iron arm for those who can get it and tasty psychic shooting in the form of Smite.

If you have enough warp dice to go around, this star obliterates anything it touches, and between invisibility, endurance, and the sanctuary improved forewarning you're not going to give a single feth about majority toughness.

At this point, go nuts, kill everything you touch.

You're easily as tough if not tougher than a screamer star, you can fly around like an ass and are probably the most destructive unit I've yet seen in 40k.

Since this is unbound or apocalypse, you may as well just field a big ass grey knights army to have a ton of dice.

Hell, invite Iron Father Smashfether, Chaptermaster Smashbane, and Lysander too while you're at it.

No scratch that; Shove every Imperial Psyker and Beatstick you can because FETH ALL THE THINGS.

It would make for a truly lulzy apocalypse death star made out of a conga-line of heroes.

Call it the Emperor's finest star. Watch your unit tear apart Primarchs and Bio-titans in CC. Kill everything that moves. Leave nothing alive.

Adding to this, stuff every loyalist Primarch and 30k loyalist special character here and add all the other Imperial ICs.

So it's now a virtually invincible blob of kill everything that will break both your points cost and your budget!

But it will look really badass.

^ @Kain

Hahaha 350-500 points a pop for Primarchs?! Yessssss

Horus + Angron + Fulgrim + Mortarion + Landraider = approx.
2000

**Lucarikx**

I think most efficient way (competitively) is Meph, Coteaz, and Corbs in a Stormraven. Also, Avengers would be a nice name, since the 9 character deathstar for Tau is called the Justice League

I ran a squad with an Epistolary, Gabriel Seth, Brother Corbulo and Mephiston and was floored at not only how durable it was, but how stupidly murderous it was as well. Corbulo tanked everything, Seth and Meph chopped everything to pieces and the Libby buffed. Crazy good. In assault anyway...
