STTAB Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Has anyone played around with 3 BA librarians? A combo of the Libby dread, Mephiston and a jump pack Libby could be really workable *Disclaimer. Going 3 librarians may mean dropping Slamguinius and taking an aux detachment with a Culexus. As a core to make it work, I think you would need; Jump Libby Mephiston Libby dread 3 cc scout squads Sanguinary Guard Ancient with relic banner Super speed warlord librarian with WoS and Unless Rage means you could alpha with Sanguinary guard and go for a later massive reposition (DoA/UWoF). Dread can act as captain with WoA strat. Mephiston would follow up the rear casting smite/blood boil. Libby or Mephiston can be launched up with WoS turn 2. Looks pretty fun but there is a lot of competition for HQ slots with BA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STTAB Posted June 14, 2018 Author Share Posted June 14, 2018 Sorry. Should add that 3 librarians is to open up empyric channeling for a turn 1 reliable cast of whatever really needs to go off. Turn 2 the Culexus drops to give you psychic phase domination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Unseen Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 You can't cast the same power more than once, so taking 3 librarians, 2 of which both want to use the same powers, seems counter productive. 1 librarian with a jump pack and buff spells to follow a big cc unit and either Mephiston or a libby dread could work, but not both of them. They both want wings+quickening way too much. If you want more smites, take primaris psykers. Not librarians who pay through the nose for their combat ability.

STTAB Posted June 14, 2018 Author Share Posted June 14, 2018 I put a list together with the only power overlap being WoS for all. Since it lasts untill your next psychic phase, meaning you get to move your normal distance , then fly 12" in your psychic phase and fly 12" in your turn. If you used WoS on Mephiston/Libby Dread turn 1, they will still be fast turn 2 with Libby/Mephiston/jump libby getting turn 2 WoS. With empyric channeling and 3 psykers, you have access to rerolls with the dread, rerolls on sanguinary guard with warlord and a lot of options so that your opponent can't look at your list and know exactly what your going to do. Obviously not super competitive but gives you a lot of tools and would be pretty fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diagramdude Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 With Gallians Staff +1 and the channelling stratagem +2, you can add 3 to your smites, so super smiting on an 8+. Not competitive but fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
