Primaris Captain Datasheet Changes

normanthesquid edited this page Jan 5, 2021 · 1 revision

The Primaris Captain datasheet got split into multiple datasheets in 9e, but the only functional change is the addition of the Relic Shield Captain in Indomitus.

We chose to ignore the Heavy Bolt Pistol and Master Crafted Power Sword pats of the loadout, since the Primaris Captain loadout has already been abstracted away as "Master-crafted Weapons" in Apocalypse.

By looking at the Storm Shield rules for Terminators and the Siege Shield rules for Vindicators, we decided that the general rule for shields should be "Improve the save by 1 at the cost of 1 PL".

Interestingly, this means that the Relic Shield Captain is strictly better than the Gravis Captain in the Fundapocalypse rule set - they both cost 1 PL and get 1 added to their save, but the Gravis Captain loses an inch of movement and loses the ability to ride in Impulsors.
