Jsut spit balling here. What do you guys think of DSing a Paladin with a psi cannon as a one man band? DS shoot rear armor, die next turn... 75pts.... or 80 if you want ot master craft the cannon. This also buys a thunder hammer for second turn armor smashing if by amazing chance he is still alive...

It may not be such a bad idea. For 75 points you get 4 S7 rending shots, and a nice distraction. Place it in the back lines of the enemy and sure, he'll die, but he can make quite a mess, and easily get well over his point's worth. In KP games, you can use him as an extra fire unit that's easy to hide, and keep him with the rest of your forces.

EDIT: Get Karamazov too. Shoot with the Paladins, and if they are close enough to an enemy (or if they survive an enemy assault), bombard them.

Correct me if I'm wrong but in the unit entry, doesn't it say you need a minimum of 5 paladins to take any psycannons? If it doesn't, then yeah not a bad use for them at all.

[blackjack]

You are not wrong, I am silly...

But the same thing can be done for 80pts with a malius inq lord.

Aw damn, there goes a perfectly fine list.

For every 5 Paladins [...] 2 Paladins may replace [...]

You should be fine with your squad.

@werewolf_nr

im talkiing about a 3 man squad! so it wouldnt work :(

[DarkLink]

Right, you need to take 5 paladins in order to take 2 heavy weapons.

[Cyberscape7]

Man, just when we thought we'd found a good use for the paladin...
Mind you if you take just a few (3) of them and make one an apothecary, you could get a unit which can basically run down a bunch of swarms.

Yea i read that and thought " great idea !! " then rememberd u have to have 5 in tha squad for those upgrades. then thought " aww boo : / "
