Characters in Apocalypse

Recommended Posts

In my game of Apocalypse, I found it really really easy to snipe out characters, with the Aim orders making the -1 to hit redundant. A particular pain in the backside was artillery with the barrage rule that meant that basilisks and manticores could snipe out characters with relative ease. The worst was when a character was garrisoned, theoretically a way to protect them, but in practice made them much easier to kill.

 

Has anyone experienced this? What did you do to mitigate it? House rule or change in playstyle? I don't really like the idea of heroic characters hiding in rhinos to avoid sniper artillery.

Well it makes sense to be honest. Kill Team is all about the individual models. Everybody is a character basically. Regular 40k is about the units and actual characters pull a lot of weight there. Apocalypse is about detachments and individual characters are much less important on that scale.
