The primarch that just won't die: Mortarion. His stats from the new Forge World book, Betrayal, have been posted over at HERO's, along with Fulgrim.
Taken at face value, it looks like Mortartion will be neigh-on impossible to lay low. Not only does he have high toughness that we've come to expect from Death Guard (T=7), more wounds than a Great Unclean One (W=7), and a 2+/4+ save, he re-rolls any failed "it will not die" rolls! That means that 55.5% of the time, he's regaining 1 wound per turn ... assuming that he managed to take *any* wounds in the first place.
Additionally, he can "sweep" attack -- going for every model in base-to-base contact with him and redeoply himself up to 10" to get closer to the combat before doing so. Hopefully he's got a nice big base when Forge World produce his model so that the enemy can crowd in nice and snugly for the reaping...

Gaming base will be probably standard, as with Angron, 40 mm. And that one will be inside larger display base...
ReplyDeleteYes -- I think you're totally correct there. (although that probably won't stop certain players from attempting to field him on his display base I imagine...!)
