    Harker has a special place in my heart for 10th edition - he declared payback time and rolled 3 6s (and 2 normal hits) taking out a Deathleaper in a single volley of righteous fury!

    I love Harker, but I'm a die-hard Catachan player. Don't forget Harker gets the Catachan bonus in combat while in the squad. +1 str and AP so he'll swing at Str5 and Ap-1. Also if he rolled 6 sixes it would be 24 hits total (6 hits+18 sustained hits). He's definitely a badass.

    My experience right now is that 12" -1 gets incidentally ignored by fireprism linking if the unit with it matters enough.
    The wording of his datasheet implies we arent getting Catachan Devils this edition, which makes me sad.

  • @MrMarlow1980

    Harker is a great officer for Catachans. As a castellan doesn't really do much for them.
    The -1 to be hit does help with keeping the squad alive.
    His heavy bolter is ok. If it goes off, it can be dangerous.
    A fluffy officer who I think is reasonably priced. If you are using Catachans of course.
    Creed is over powered, but that's another story!

      I always thought the Catachans should be semi-elite. I know it'd push them into competing with the likes of Scions, but I love the idea of having an army of 1980's action heroes with multiple wounds and other ridiculous abilities for mere guardsmen.

      @@RJALEXANDER777 Considering the world they grew up on, they should be.
      I'm all for Cadians and they should be good shots, high morale, great gear, etc that being born into an Army would instill in a person. But Catachans should have better T (or maybe a low FNP roll?), WS, etc.
      Can't be too high as they're not Space Marines, but they're far from normal humans IMO. Plus you know that 80/90s action hero thing.

    • @coldsteel.and.courage
      @coldsteel.and.courage Рік тому +2

      Straken is still a beat stick, especially when connected to a unit that also has a command squad attached. With fix Bayonets they are actually doing some respectable damage in close combat. Blob squad with command squad attached comes in with 31 regular swings, Straken's swings, the regular officers power fist swings, and if you add an Ogryn Bodyguard with the giant knife another 6 str 9 ap-2 swings. All of these with lethal hits, str 4, and hitting on 3's.

      @@coldsteel.and.courage you're worried about your Auto Wounds not getting a 16% chance to convert to mortal Wounds, that's madness. Even so in Lord Solar Squad I wouldn't want them to be on the front lines. Just for the people out there that are thinking about the gnarliest melee combo. All of Strakens attacks and the command squad and Nork, backed by 20 ablative wounds. You'll get way more chances to use the Headbutt and generate mortals that way. A Nork in the backline only using his headbutt and combat as a counter measure is totally dandy, it wouldn't generate as many Mortal Wounds as a Nork on the front lines with Straken.

    Put harker + 1 squad in a Chimera. Harker can safely fire from the gun hatch and the chimera can also scout forward. Use this unit to try to capture the more isolated flank unit in no man's land. Harker would probably be able to shoot all 5 turns safely. Not sure whether the -1 also applies though when he is in a chimera. If it does its a bonus😊
