Either way, the Priest helps a lot less, so Chaplain. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/674396/8340649.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/674396/8340649.page GMT Sanguinary Priest or Chaplin to go with Death Company? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/674396/8340665.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/674396/8340665.page GMT Re:Sanguinary Priest or Chaplin to go with Death Company? DC get on the charge. All the Priest gives is +1 WS, as his FNP adds nothing to DC because they already have it.

If you want to use a priest, put him with either Sanguinary Guard (with a jump pack) or Assault Terminators. They are also a great, cheap HQ choice, just not with DC.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/674396/8340674.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/674396/8340674.page GMT Re:Sanguinary Priest or Chaplin to go with Death Company?

Very true, and fair points. I'm gunna go with the Chaplin ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/674396/8340683.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/674396/8340683.page GMT Re:Sanguinary Priest or Chaplin to go with Death Company?

Agreed on all points. Also doesn't hurt there's a sweet new model for the BA jump pack chaplain. I'm hoping my 40k hobby buddy comes through getting me one for X-mas.

Chaplain. If you can, go with Lemartes for a fluffy standpoint. Not sure how good he is in 7th, as I play 5th edition BA.


I don't know 5th but Lemartes is an elite slot now.

I'd do this or chaplin. Depends if you need HQ slots.
I don't like adding characters to squads less than 10.
I also think DC are solid enough alone. But YMMV as lists are different.

Priest and Captain in a 10 man assault squad with a PF sergeant would be my choice. Then MSU DC squads.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/674396/8340774.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/674396/8340774.page GMT Sanguinary Priest or Chaplin to go with Death Company?

DC can turn them into a real blender.

Then again, if you're just interested in a buffing badass, a standard chaplin might be the better choice.

Librarians are a good standby but aren't consistent.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/674396/8342373.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/674396/8342373.page GMT Sanguinary Priest or Chaplin to go with Death Company? DC don't need the rerolls. It's better to just buy more DC to soak wounds than pay for a useless chaplain. Only the librarian can provide worthwhile utility to the DC, imo. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/674396/8342405.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/674396/8342405.page GMT Sanguinary Priest or Chaplin to go with Death Company?
The Chaplain ensures more of those hidden Power Weapons make it through though. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/674396/8342420.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/674396/8342420.page GMT Sanguinary Priest or Chaplin to go with Death Company? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/674396/8342434.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/674396/8342434.page GMT Sanguinary Priest or Chaplin to go with Death Company? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/674396/8342468.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/674396/8342468.page GMT Sanguinary Priest or Chaplin to go with Death Company?

More and more I find dc are best on their own, however. The chaplain is a waste for sure.
The Chaplain also suffers from not having the durability of Death Company. Not having the FNP can really show. Yes, he has a 4++, but you are paying for it. You can get three or four more Death Company marines for his points. I have a Chaplain for the sake of having a Chaplain, but I will probably never play him unless a formation comes out for BA (HA!) that actually makes him decent.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/674396/8342941.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/674396/8342941.page GMT Sanguinary Priest or Chaplin to go with Death Company? DC, 4 with bolters (to let some shoot before they charge for extra hits. Good idea or not?), 2 with fists, 2 with power weapons (most Likely swords) and 2 with just chainsword and bolt pistols. Then a chaplain ontop of that. I could always hide the chaplain in the middle of them all. They also be jumping up the board with a 10 man assault squad, so they may help soak up some dmg if I chuck them in front perhaps]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/674396/8346617.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/674396/8346617.page GMT Sanguinary Priest or Chaplin to go with Death Company? FNP. You probably don't need the power swords, either. If anything, get power mauls. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/674396/8346618.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/674396/8346618.page GMT
