Horus Heresy Review: Tsolmon Khan


Background.
As with many other legions, there are characters who at first glance would be better suited to other legions. Tsolmon is one such person. In this case the Iron Hands would have been a better bet for him. Oddly for the White Scars, this Khan was also known more widely beyond his host legion as well.

Strengths.
In brief then, this Khan is a praetor with an extra pip in strength with access to a scimitar jet bike upgrade (worth it!) and interestingly thanks to his peculiar history, the option to take a single sister of silence oblivion knight cadre (could be worth it potentially, but is mutually exclusive with the jetbike). When with these ladies, his Ld score is intact, plus he has a nice bonus to glorious interventions involving them too.

When charging, he has a neat trick to ignore the initiative step of the thunder hammer, which is really nice, but only a single attack.

Weaknesses.
His warlord trait is fixed as inspiring presence. Not the best, but okay.

Otherwise, he is standard fare, and may only be taken by loyalist forces.

Overall.
There are two overall options here.

I'd personally take the jet bike option and build a speedy list around him.

The other option is to consider an allied Sisters of Silence force with White Scars. This could work really well if smartly constructed, but candidly: I'm yet to give this a lot of thought.
