Hey all,
I've had Space Hulk sitting on my shelf for too long, really want to get it out and have a play with it. I must admit, I'm terrified to put paint brush to models , doubly so "limited edition" ones like these.
Me and an RL friend have always been discussing making terminators for different factions as a result of this, even just aesthetic ideas, for example, using blood letters instead of genestealers, and the new Grey Knight Terminators instead of the blood angels, things like that. (Eventually he made a squad of partially corrupted Relictors to use in his 2nd edition set, mixing loyalist and Chaos parts.) But I've just been uhming and ahing until now.
When we tried to think of new rules - we found that we were mostly just complicating what was a really smooth, brutal and efficient system. But with the new Dark Vengeance models coming out - I found myself looking with admiration over the Deathwing models - wanting them at the very least for a basic loadout squad. Then it fired up the 2 ideas we'd had that seemed subtle enough --- Having either an apothecary / sanguinary priest in terminator armour or a chaplain in terminator armour - possibly conferring a buff to nearby squad members in the same way that, say, the Captain lets you repick your action point chip.
Now I'm itching to buy the Termie chaplain model on ebay - and paint him up in Deathwing colours!
Does anyone have any simple rules for Chaplains and/or Apothecaries that they use?
And did anyone else get the same itch as me to dig out Space Hulk on seeing these guys?
