    Intrigued by Calgar, possible list ideas for 1.5k

    So i was looking through one of the old WDs the other day and came acrose this dudes Ultra marine 2nd company on parade. and it got me in the ultra mood. The guys army looked great, a lot darker then ultra blue, and looked stunning. Well i figured that i love the calgar model (the terminator variant) and he's rules are really nice although there is one hell of an anoying FU IMHO. the fact that unless you take terminator armour your stuck with a 3+ when your honour guard have 2+. and if you take terminator armour you cant sweeping advance...POINTLESS!

    Well anyway, i went to try some list ideas for 1.5k and really couldnt come up with anything substantial. i should point out that many people suggest nothing lower then 2k for him, but i want you to know that whether this is the case or not, the goal is 1.5k regardless.

    My ideas were centred around this: The DUDE!, a librarian and some honour guard in a nice cosy land raider. this didnt leave alot of points...

    Sooo....any ideas? just brainstorming...

    Remember people, Basilisk'''s are my friends

    But sadly, not yours
    Please take a few minutes to look at my Deathwing Tactica

    Him + Cassius. Very fluffy, but also very good. Re-rolls to hit benefitting the rest of the squad, but alas they're Fearless which is more of a pain than a bonus. Alternatively, him + Tigurius (who you never see despite being the uber Libby, but then again he has no Inv save as standard). Chapter Master + Advisor is always a good combo I think.

    This week I am good-naturedly shaking my fist at: Baragash. For being unreasonably reasonable.
    Sex, drugs and pointy ears.
    Cheaphammer 40p: 2000 points of Marines as cheap as possible.
    It'll be alright on the Knight - a slow refreshing of my original Grey Knight army.
    Cordova: In my head you're eight foot tall, always carry an officer's sabre, and speak like Theoden at the battle of Pelennor Fields.

    Grey Knights don't go to heaven: they go to hell and regroup.

    I've said it before, I'm a big fan of this very fluffy -- if maybe not all that powerful -- 1,500-point army centered around Calgar and three Honour Guard Squads.

    Wait, wait, wait....you mean to say, you WANT to sweeping advance?

    Hold on a sec.

    Do you know how many games I wish I could choose NOT to perform a sweeping advance? In all my power armor vs power armor games!

    The ability NOT to sweeping advance, totally messes up ATSKNF, since they run, and you can keep them running!

    But Vs other armies, it's a bit of a pain unless they're down to below 50%.

    Which should happen, if you've just faced Calgar + Honor Guard in CC. Unless you're playing Knight wing, in which case, you relish facing that in CC.
