<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Plague Champion loadout"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/69.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Plague Champion loadout CSM and I'm running Plague marines as my troops. What I would like to know is what is the best way to out fit my PC.
So this is the what my squads have.

Plague Marines x7- Plasma Guns x2, PC w/ Combi-plasma and powerfist= 233pts

Plague Marines x7- melta guns x2, PC w/ Combi-melta and powerfist= 223pts

Plague Marines x7- Plasma Guns x2, PC w/ Combi-plasma and powerfist= 233pts

I have been doing some reading and got the the idea of giving the PCs power axes and melta bombs, so would you say that this is a better loadout for the PC or is there something better to use.
My opponents usually bring MEQ and sometimes a horde army, but very few if any dreadnoughts in their MEQ army list.
Also if this question has already been answered sorry for repeating it and if it has if you could send me the link that would great.

Meaning that in a plasma squad, I like to give the champion a cobi-flamer of melta so I have a different shot. It gives you a layer of opportunism. Ork boys got tossed out of a trukk nearby? Serve them a flaming template from your melta plague squad. Monstrous creature straying too close to your melta squad? A combi-plasma can double your output of AP2 death for very important turn. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/496401/5108349.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/496401/5108349.page GMT Re:Plague Champion loadout MEQ.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/496401/5108450.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/496401/5108450.page GMT Plague Champion loadout http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/496401/5108804.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/496401/5108804.page GMT Re:Plague Champion loadout http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/496401/5109261.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/496401/5109261.page GMT Re:Plague Champion loadout http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/496401/5109299.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/496401/5109299.page GMT Re:Plague Champion loadout

I think the point costs of champions ramp up way too quickly. Combi/PW/meltabomb or combi/PF are both huge investments in what's ultimately a very vulnerable character. I'd go one of four ways: combi-weapon, axe, meltabomb, or naked. No combination thereof unless you've got extra points coming out your ears. Otherwise I'd rather spend on scoring bodies: more Plaguemarines, more Zombies, etc.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/496401/5112103.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/496401/5112103.page GMT Plague Champion loadout

I agree that it is a point sink in a PC, though I wouldn't say that he is that vulnerable of a charater having a toughness 5 and FNP making him and the squad a hard nut to crack. The way I built my army list I do have the points to put those items into them. Though if seeing my army list would help I would be more than happy to post it.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/496401/5112490.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/496401/5112490.page GMT Re:Plague Champion loadout http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/496401/5113725.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/496401/5113725.page GMT Re:Plague Champion loadout
