What if Russ came back with a spear and a shield? That would give him the 3++. If he has two forms I see the wolf form as being a way to deal mortal wounds, and he'd probably have the 5+++ fnp ability. Also remember that Bobby G isn't just a typical primarch. He is augmented by Crawl, so Russ might seem a bit underwhelming in comparison, or his ability to shapeshift might be his "augmentation". I could realistically see loyalist primarchs be more force multipliers than straight up beat sticks, like Magnus and Mortarior (although they are a bit of force multipliers themselves). I also see Russ having some sort of howl ability that might do mortal wounds to psykers, and some deny ability along the lines of Khorne, I doubt he'd be an actual psyker.

Is the GMNDK better than Draigo?

WOW holy smart phone failure batman. I apologize for the triple post. My phone obviously just went crazy. I realize that we have a 50/50 chance to deny a power, but I am just saying DCA's/Henchmen have ways to bust armor. I also agree that 12 DCA will wipe out a squad and then get shot off the board. I pose the question about what happens when you start encountering mixed squads with DCA and crusaders rolling around with 3 up invuls? In the end I really only meant to comment on the post that stated to just mech up and ignore them. I don't agree with that advice. Like others have stated, they don't have grenades. A land raider does have the launchers to make up for that. So I would suggest to bust the raider and hug some cover and just shoot them to hell. Sometimes it's easier said than done, but should be a sound strategy none the less. Oh and malachiofruss, have you considered just adding a combi-flamer to your wg instead of the combi melta?

Uhm yea, just be aware that if they are running with a libby with might they become str5 with 2d6 armor pen. Add on hammerhand and it's 12 hive tyrants busting you vehicle.
