One game he regenerated 4 wounds and took 7 total wounds during the game. He literally was one wound ahead of death from turn one and ended up killing two combat squadded tactical squads, a devastator squad and Tigurius in that match. He consistantly performs amazing feats - to date I've only lost him to 40 Ork Sluggas and 3 Killa Kanz - where he killed 7 Orks and a Killa Kan before going down in a hail of green meat.<br /><br />Just to give you an idea of what I run:<br />Iron Hands - Clan Bracchus (Homegrown Clan)<br />"The Gauntlet" <br /> <br />HQ Lord Kardus - 270<br />- Shield Eternal, Burning Blade, Artificer, Digital Weapons, Meltabombs<br /><br />HQ x3 Black Sun Praetorians (Honor Guard) - 145<br />- Chapter Banner, Drop Pod<br /><br />Troops x10 Tactical Marines - 190<br />- Meltagun, Combi-melta, Drop Pod<br /><br />Troops Tactical Marines - 170<br />- Plasmagun, Plasma Cannon<br /><br />Elite x5 Sternguard - 205<br />- Combi-Meltas x5, Drop Pod<br /><br />Elite Primus Godric (Contemptor Dreadnaught) - 200<br />- Plasmacannon, Plasma-Blaster<br /><br />Elite Frem (Mortis Contemptor) - 220<br />- TL-Lascannons x2, Cyclone Missile Launcher<br /><br />Heavy Support Thunderfire Cannon - 100<br /> <br />Total: 1500<br /><br />I find it is pretty damn effective, especially with the Chapter Master running around the enemy deployment zone collecting heads. I always try to get Slay the Warlord with my Warlord - its a matter of principle, to date he's killed Tigurius, Calgar, Creed, and a nameless SM Captain in single combat, looking forward to getting some other big names on there - like Abaddon!<br /><br />Thanks for the article Jack - Oh but be careful when talking about Manus, a lot of us old school Iron Hands players think a lot of the "new fluff" is garbage and can get pretty riled up about it - the stuff about Manus being a fool included (I've always thought this personally, so it doesn't bother me, man lost his head then ran in and lost his head.)<br />Ravenfeldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00615561840960585360noreply@blogger.com
