Horus Heresy 2e Review: Knight Centura

Warpstone Flux Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
4/5 stars. Nice and cheap, yet still effective enough. 

Background.
Battlefield commanders from within the Chamber of Oblivion. These commanders field their own mission forces and can be responsible for many Sisters. 

Strengths.
As with other entries in the series, I want to highlight the cheap points cost for this character. The stat line has WS=BS=5=I in place which is impressive for a non-Astartes.

In essence everything else is broadly similar to the Knight Abyssal except for being slightly less powerful.

Weaknesses.
Lack of access to a paragon blade and T=3 are issues here. 

Builds.
Knight Centura, Power Weapon (60 points).
The baseline build. The power weapon might be an axe here to challenge enemy characters a little (you may die though - but you are playing Sisters). I'd opt to take something like the hand flamer if you think you might be taking on hordes, but otherwise embed this character in a large-ish blob and go on your merry way. You can't go too wrong for the points cost here realistically.

  1. A great use for the Centura's is tying up enemy dreadnoughts. Ex-Oblivio works on any model in base contact, so take an ablative squad with Execution Blades that can slowly chop him up while the Dread flails around at WS1
