It effectively allows the wielder to still fight and attack, even when killed by enemies of a higher Initiative or in an Overwatch volley.
SENTINELS OF TERRA 7TH EDITION CENTURIONS LIST UPGRADE
The second of them, the Angel of Sacrifice, is an upgrade for a Chaplain's Crozius, giving Strength 6 AP 4 attacks with the added bonus of a unique Only In Death special rule. You ultimately get what you are paying for, but it feels that something more useful could have easily been put in its place. While a bolter would definitely be preferable due to the longer range, and its actual use will likely be fairly limited, it's hard to criticse that given its very low cost. The main draw is the Ignores Cover rule and the fact it's Master Crafted. The first of the two actual weapons, the Spartean, is a basic Strength 4 AP 5 bolt pistol you can get for 5 points. Also, make actual use of the army's expert method of war when writing these. Codex writers, while it doesn't help that these are all fairly uninspired, you should just slap a points cost on the end of each one and make them selectable upgrades. Siege Lord could be completely useless if you're fighting in jungle terrain, and while Wise Commander can be handy you can't risk writing a list to use it as you only have a 16.7% chance getting it per game.
While it's commendable that the author would want to cover all bases and given variety, the fact they are randomly chosen makes all of them very unreliable. The most useful one however is Wise Commander: While the Warlord is alive you can influence reserve rolls by one point, either +1 or -1 on each unit's dice roll.Īs with the last several codicies, two are focused upon one line of thought, another on two more and the last two on yet another area. One more is much more squad orientated with Indomitable offering Fearless and Counter-Attack to him and his unit if they don't move.
Two are very killy focused and range from giving your Warlord a single shot Strength 10 orbital bombardment, to giving your Warlord the It Will Not Die rule. The rest of the Warlord Traits don't even really go in line with this, making these two feel extremely out of place.
In fact many of them seem to feel so much unlike the Imperial Fists, you could easily use the codex as a substitute list for the likes of the Marines Errant and they wouldn't feel out of place. Now let's get this straight: The rules overall aren't that bad and are definitely a step up from previous supplements in quality and addressing problems, but they feel as if they were written for a very different army. It felt as if the writers were experimenting and seeing what worked, and that this latest release might have been halfway decent. Instead what little quality there is has been stripped away in several areas, and Sentinels of Terra is arguably one of the worst we have seen since Codex: Iyanden. Codex: Farsight Enclaves rose slightly above its predecessor and included at least a few gems among its pages, while Codex: Black Legion contained fantastic additions to the lore despite poor rules. While we have yet to see an actually good supplement codex, there has been a slow but visible increase in each release's quality over the past months. You know what the truly damning thing is about this? I was actually somewhat hopeful for this one.
