As I ...I agree with much of what you say Jonathan. As I say in the post I will be taking agonisers for my Archon (which would allow him to take on high T 3+ monsters) for example. Now agonisers are poisoned they are far better than a vanilla AP3 powersword (rerolls when you have higher S etc), especially when combined with a Soul Trap.<br /><br />In defence of the Huskblade, one thing to note is that instant death also denies FnP. So there are advantages of using a Husk Blade against models that do not have multiple wounds (wracks / DE in general). This is especially true given our low strength (and thus inability to deny FnP through the double T mechanism).<br /><br />Archons have never really been effective against most IC's with a 2+ save or MCs. Yes Ap3 means he/she is less effective, but it's not really that big of a loss... As I say above, if this is how you have been using your Archon - you've been using him wrong (or sub-optimally at least....)<br /><br />TL;DR: If you replace every occurrence of 'power sword' in Jonathan's comment with Agoniser, then it's all true :).Sethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07531991673033620143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1473918251887048829.post-56193279958510690202014-10-03T04:06:25.286-07:002014-10-03T04:06:25.286-07:00Its funny, but if you replace every instance of &#...Its funny, but if you replace every instance of 'husk blade' in this article with 'power sword' then its all true. The thing about a Huskblade is its ID ability (the only thing that makes it different from a power sword) is only useful against models with more than one wound, which usually come in two flavours, ICs with a 2+ sv or MCs with a toughness of 6 or more. I can't really see archons being effective vs either of those.<br /><br />If you're building your archon to take on tac marines, fire warriors and guardsmen you're better off with the cheaper power because the Huskblade has relatively few situations where it is going to perform better.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01741473076234099725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1473918251887048829.post-64070009344585882252014-10-02T14:32:08.223-07:002014-10-02T14:32:08.223-07:00:)
