With the great new changes the shield captain and Trajann getting a much deserved amp I’m sure they will be our top 2 pick for characters in general lists. Obviously the bike and terminator captains definitely have there uses too and will be very handy when allowing us to utilise those extra katahs each turn.

So where does that place the blade champion in your eyes? He loses his advance and charge which I don’t see as an issue as it’s so plentiful now and with his re roll to charges staying and getting better by adding in advances too it gives us a very mobile unit.

His stat line too looks very very lethal and with his marking ability can really allow him to punch up and snipe out units even by himself.

So with this in mind where do you see his place being in our new codex and do you think he’s worthwhile taking over the other characters we have available?

The intention of this list is to utilise the turn 1 deep strike with a block of terminators because that’s fun and I really want to use my recently obtained venatari so they’re the only units I’m locked into using but anything else is fair game. Any advice for how to best utilise the venatari would be appreciated too please.

Recently built my Achillus dreadnought and was thinking about what to do with the spare sword that it leaves you. So I had the idea to create a character which wields it like a greatsword but I’m not sure what model would work best to put it on or what pieces would be best to use for the kitbash.

So does anyone have any thoughts or ideas that might help able to help me out?

Before anyone says don’t use it, I know it’s not Great in anything hut solar but it’s my first dread and I really want to try it out so any help is much appreciated.

I was thinking about maybe keeping it alongside some sisters so it can have a layer or screening protection so ensure it’s the one doing the charging, but other than that and being cagey I need some tips.
