Muckwarrior Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 I've been looking into which Lord of War to take with my DW army. So far, it'll looking like an Imperial Knight Warden (I plan to paint him in DW colors). It seems like he would act as a valuable tank for my soft Kill Teams. Thoughts? What do you guys use? Do you even use a Lord of War? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vel'Cona Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 A Knight is always a safe plan for DW, though there are tons of other allied options to choose from. That being said, take care with the points investment on the Knight that you're not cutting corners with the rest of your expensive DW marines.

Muckwarrior Posted September 18, 2017 Author Share Posted September 18, 2017 Thanks for the feedback. What are some other Lord of War choices that could work for DW? I had considered Guilliman, but it seems like if you're not playing Ultramarines, you're missing out some powerful benefits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeltaRange Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 The Cerastus Knight-Atropos to me is a perfect fit for Deathwatch both in in-game synergy and in fluff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mobius0288 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 I don't really use lords of war with typical deathwatch games. If my games exceed 2000 pts, I'll throw in some knights. I've run a paladin mostly but I have a crusader, gallant, acheron and atrapos as well. The crusader is a beast but you pay the price for bringing him. I think the gallant could be an interesting choice because you don't really expect a knight to rush into melee as fast as possible. Absolutely a great distraction while your other guys move up the field, but would work best if it moves up in parallel with the rest of your forces. You typically expect it to hold a flank or tie up your opponents big threat. Either way you can expect it to be a priority target, so make sure you get some use out of it before it blows. I think there are some forgeworld lord of wars you could take but I dont have my book to reference. Alternatively, there's some cool HQ options in forgeworld you can take as well (chaplain dreadnaught, etc). Even some efficient elite choices. So with that in mind, I tend to lean away from lords of war personally. Vel'Cona 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muckwarrior Posted September 19, 2017 Author Share Posted September 19, 2017 Thanks for the info Mobius0288. I'm considering the Chaplain Dreadnought just so I can surround him with Kill Teams. Mobius0288 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
