Brothers! It has been far too long since we last sat around
the fire and I regaled you with tales and instruction. I apologize for my
absence, but I have been in the Warp on a great hunt for our primarch. While my
search for him was fruitless, I have come upon a fallen brother who is a great
boon to our chapter and to our battle tactics.
Murderfang is our new dreadnought brother in arms. He is a
ravenous killer with no pity for those in front of him. At less than 150
points, Murderfang is a steal and should be welcomed into any list. I repeat,
he is so good he might as well be a part of the force organization chart. You
might as well consider that your force org will look like 2 HQs, 2 Troops, and
1 Elite named Murderfang. Murderfang will give you on average 8-10 attacks on the
charge at strength 8 and with an AP of 2. He is a character so he is able to
issue challenges. So stick him into a group of elite warriors and watch as he
inhales them all into his gluttonous bowels. Yes, he is a dreadnought but for
some reason he still eats. He will slice and dice most infantry models in close
combat and will completely destroy ork meganobz with a few slices of his mighty
claws. If you need a unit dead then Murderfang is the dread for you. He even
comes with It Will Not Die; because he hates everyone.
That’s right, he hates everyone. That right there is the
sole reason to play Murderfang. His rules are good and placing him inside of a
drop pod is a missile your opponent will have to deal with sooner rather than
later. But the very fact that Murderfang hates everyone in the 40k universe
makes him the most impartial man in the entire story. He hates xenos, he hates
humans, hell, he even hates his own chapter so much that they have to literally
put him on ice and freeze him after every battle so that he doesn’t go on a homicidal
rampage through the hallowed halls of the Fang. His impartiality makes him the
moral compass that all 40k players should emulate: treat everyone fairly and
equally (with claws to the tender bits).
Not only is Murderfang a great teacher of valuable lessons,
but he also allows you to put on rocking good shows while playing this
marvelous game. It is advised (heavily) that you player heavy metal while you
play this character. In fact, it is almost required that his drop pod is all
black with spikes on it to represent the blackness of his heart and the metal
of his body. Murderfang embodies everything that is metal: being hardcore,
murder, hatred, and a drive that does not allow him to quit. While playing
Murderfang you need to be playing a metal song (I recommend Murder Train for
the near identical sound and how accurate the song is to his play style) and
for you to laugh at lesser wolves who field our brother with no music and
darkness.
So go forth Brothers! Field our newest battle brother and wreak
havoc upon our foes.
I am honestly hoping there is a murder formation in the supplement. The murderfangs rules are perfect for an ork deff dread. If they have a formation, I'm so taking it and using deff dreads :).
ReplyDeleteLol nicely put. Great to have you return.
