When I first cracked open the book, "Combat Tactics" seemed like an amazing ability, yet I constantly see armies fielding Pedro, Shrike, or especially Vulkan. I know that several of the special characters grant really great abilities, but surely some folks are building armies based on controlling when they fall back?

What about special characters that don't change that ability? Marneus Calgar, Tigurius, Sicarius or Cassius? Has anyone seen them in otherwise "vanilla" armies?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/224748/478931.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/224748/478931.page GMT MotF spam ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/224748/478947.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/224748/478947.page GMT
if your sternguard heavy, pedro is a good idea. if you have lots of flamers/meltas then vulkan is good. if you want to have a possible turn 1 charge with 10 CC terminators then take shrike.

its all about synergy. if you have an army that a special character imporves greatly then there is no reason not to take them.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/224748/480827.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/224748/480827.page GMT
