4/5 stars. The Either continues our leader heavy exploration of the Sons of Horus.
Background.
Tasked with hunting down the rogue elements of the shattered legions, Marr got embroiled in a three year campaign against non other than Shadrak Meduson of the Iron Hands. He succeeded in the end, but it cost a lot of men and time to do so.
Strengths.
A praetor level stat line, but with a sword that helps him stand out. The Culling Blade grants an entertaining combination of breaching, critical hits, and poisoned to allow him to fell many of his erstwhile loyalist cousins with ease. The bane strike bolt gun is merely the icing on the cake here.
Hatred against the Shattered Legions is an interesting special rule to have, and clearly situational yet also very appropriate.
Weaknesses.
A fairly solid character overall with no general weaknesses, but obviously might not be everyone's proverbial cup of tea, but I like him.
Overall.
Fluffy to be very clear. His hunting down of the Shattered Legions is well depicted here and his Culling Blade entirely appropriate. The points value for Marr is also spot on for what he does. There's little not to like, except for the fact that the Sons of Horus are over-run with character choices. Hence I suspect Marr will be seen only in fluffier elements of the Sons of Horus who have been tasked with anti-shattered legion duties, which for me is a bit sad.
