Possessed bomb again?

[techsoldaten]

Well Black Legion had the original possessed bomb.

Chosen of the Pantheon gives them all four marks, meaning that they can benefit from both Weaver of Fates, Miasma and Delightful Agonies.

 

You further buff them with your Dark Apostles, and they can become a real threat.

 

Put a Bloodmaster with the Crimson Crown in there, pop Vets of the Long War and the prayer soultearer portent, and they get a crazy number of attacks.

 

But after the emergence of the new Grey Knights, all possessed bombs are gonna suffer big time.

 

Edit: The reason why people take Alpha Legion, is that they are the only ones which offer protection if you don't get first turn.

Black Legion Possessed will get slaughtered turn one if you don't go first.

That's almost exactly right.

 

There's also the Demi-Possessed Bomb. You can put 10 of them in a Terrax Assault Drill with a MoP and a Dark Apostle. This gets them across the Board reliably, plus you have that drill that occupies a pretty big space on the tabletop.

 

If you want to run Possessed as something other than the main threat in your force, this is a decent option to consider.
