I've been reading through the forgeworld Horus heresy supplements lately and looking at the campaign legions and primarchs. I noticed that a few of them have cc weapons that are unwieldy. Now I know the novel series aren't really associated any way with the rules, but the primarchs (as I would expect) wield these weapons with ease and at a lightning fast pace.i understand that the unwieldy rules is a rule of the weapon and not the primarch,but I cant find anything that would override this as a primarch rule (e.g. The equivalent of monstrous creature). Is it really the case that a few of these primarchs would actually be initiative 1 on instances of close combat e.g Rogal Dorn's chainblade, Perturabo when he has Manus' hammer(maybe could forgive this one as it wasn't his weapon) and Mortarion with 'silence' his battle scythe that would probably feel like an extension to his arm and finally Horus with worldbreaker. I know the guys have great stats and could weather a huge amount from normal troops in CC but elites etc with the right equipment could do some significant damage with the right equipment before they've even got to struck a blow.

Have a missed something somewhere? Or is this to make primarchs more balanced?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/622983/7349888.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/622983/7349888.page GMT forgeworld primarchs and unwieldy weapons
It's not much of an issue as unless they're going up against a Super-Heavy Walker or anything which can Stomp, they'll almost certainly survive to strike back. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/622983/7349896.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/622983/7349896.page GMT forgeworld primarchs and unwieldy weapons http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/622983/7350347.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/622983/7350347.page GMT forgeworld primarchs and unwieldy weapons http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/622983/7351605.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/622983/7351605.page GMT forgeworld primarchs and unwieldy weapons They are just giving the Enemy a fighting chance, showing off how they can shrug off lethal blows and making their own attacks seem all that more devastating by comparison. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/622983/7351778.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/622983/7351778.page GMT forgeworld primarchs and unwieldy weapons
