One of the main faults I realise he has is his inability to ignore armor, and that seems to be a huge hamper. He does seem however very suited at taking out high toughness characters and forcing wounds, since even one of his 6 attacks (5 base + pistol and CCW) can cause ID, and his needler has 3 shots. His FnP makes him just as durable as any lord in terminator armour and his Enhanced Warrior rule seems to grant normal CSM the Possessed statline, for a cheaper cost than Possessed. Combining it with the MoS can improve their CC capability (however it pales in comparison to the MoN or MoK, as you would need to take 20 marines in a single unit to make it even remotely feasable).

So, any thoughts on the Mad Doktor of 40k?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/365410/2741954.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/365410/2741954.page GMT Using Fabius Bile http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/365410/2741982.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/365410/2741982.page GMT Using Fabius Bile

But I still think berserkers would we a better choice. For two more points they get and extra attack and furious charge.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/365410/2742039.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/365410/2742039.page GMT Re:Using Fabius Bile
He can only affect Chaos Space Marines (the Troop choice). Not Berzerkers, not Noise Marines, not even Chosen or Havocs.

Schaden has it right - he gives your melta troops a bit more oomph.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/365410/2742045.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/365410/2742045.page GMT Using Fabius Bile CSM the MoS or MoK, not giving it to the cult troops.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/365410/2742271.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/365410/2742271.page GMT Using Fabius Bile 5 S5 attacks are always great.
His gun wounds on 2+.

He may allow saves,but ID kinda makes up for it,if you go for the big guys.

FnP is not to be sniffed either.

The enhanced troops can really get the edge in CC.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/365410/2744569.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/365410/2744569.page GMT Using Fabius Bile MoS) it's usually just better to take the cult troopers for the equivallent point cost (although MoN does make each Marine into essentially a mini-ogryn). ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/365410/2746263.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/365410/2746263.page GMT Using Fabius Bile
Enhanced marines with an icon of Khorne fight/cost comparably to berzerkers, but enhanced marines can bring their own meltaguns. So you can spam many rhinos full of enhanced marines and have plenty of antitank.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/365410/2749858.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/365410/2749858.page GMT Using Fabius Bile

Oh really? I was responding mostly to this:

Skull Champions (and WS5/S10 powerfist) tells me he's talking about Berzerkers, so I was pointing it out early in the thread who can be Enhanced.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/365410/2749867.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/365410/2749867.page GMT
