Mefiston and his AP 3 sword !

[Mithay]

Okay GW just made some of the biggest close combat bad*** in game really unplayble?

Force swords are AP 3. Mefiston wargear clearly states he has a force sword.
Si basically does nothing to terminators, meganobs and anything that have 2+save...

that is really going to make some blood angels player cry

I can see the line of terminators sitting around pounding their fists into their hands waiting for a piece of that son of a *****....

6th edition will be known as the return of plasma.

Which is why Dark Angels are now the poster boys while ultrasurfs defected to the Tau and their greater plasma goodness.

You need to get hooked on Tycho.

I think he's the only character in Codex BA (and the only SM I can think of) who negates 2+ at higher than I1, in this case a whopping I5! Unless somebody can show me hard rules that say otherwise, I think Tycho and to a slightly lesser degree Gabriel Seth (S8 Rending) just became the cheap sleeper heroes of Codex BA, especially for anti-termy duty.

Seth and Tycho have always been really good characters.

Run Tycho, the sternguard captain, with Sternguard!

And the return of tactical Terminators.

For me the majority of things that Mephiston goes against is Sv 3+, and he still will be pretty awesome vs characters striking first (thanks to high I), wounding on 2+ (thanks to Sword) and causing instant death (thanks to it being a force weapon).

And the return of tactical Terminators.

I've always been running Terminators
