What were they thinking making this guy cost 400 points? If

It's a character so it's hard to shoot at with an effective 16 wounds and great stats. It's not going to die in a game, that knight is going to get focus'd down by an entire army.

It'll have a hard time making back its points, but it's can wipe entire squads alone quickly with 2d6 str 6 -2 3 damage auto hits + 4 huge CC attacks and 2d6 pistol shots.

The Salamander flamer buff makes it notably more effective, too.

How do you figure that?

I got 13.7 lascannon hits on average to kill

>>54078504
So about four or five turns of shooting at it with a lascannon predator?

Can't shoot at it if it isn't the closest thing
And you don't want it to be the closest thing

Can you move-advance-charge?

If so, Ironclad dreadnoughts running screening to absorb hits with a techmarine and Bray'arth behind them sounds pretty scary.

Seems like the thread summed it up. He isn't killy, but he has a crazy number of saves AND is a character on top of that.

He's basically guaranteed to get into melee so long as you give him even a token bodyguard

And of course, once there, he has Heavy flamers that deal 3 damage a piece and his CC weapon is similarly scary. 3 attacks with d6 damage each isn't quite knight level, but it's still quite strong.
