Dark Angels - Belial

Alright! The first Epic Hero for the Library! Master of the Deathwing, Belial!

The Grand Master of the Deathwing means that he is the 1st Company Captain of the Dark Angels Chapter. The Deathwing and the Ravenwing are the last two out of six "Wings" that still exist in the 41st millennium. In the 31st millennium there were six that formed the Hexagrammaton.

Stats-wise, Belial's profile is identical to that of any other Space Marine Captain in Terminator Armor.

A Move of 5", Toughness 5, A 2+ Save and 4+ Invul, and 6 Wounds.

Where he is special is his weapons and abilities.

His Storm Bolter is Master-Crafted and as such is Damage 2 with Precision! This means he can allocate hits and wounds made with this weapon directly to Characters in a unit and bypass the Bodyguards.

The Sword of Silence also has Precision and is otherwise a S6 Relic Blade!

And then we look at the abilities.

Grand Master of the Deathwing

This ability affects the unit that he leads. Any rolls to Hit that score a Critical Hit become Precision! So on a 6 to Hit, this happens. This is for both ranged and close combat attacks!

This means you could use a Terminator Heavy Weapon and snipe out Characters from the enemy units.

Strikes of Retribution

This is an amazing ability but only activates once Belial himself is targeted by attacks. When a melee attack is allocated to him, to a max of 6 attacks per unit that attacks him, he rolls a dice. On a 2+ the attacker suffers a Mortal Wound! This is a wound that you cannot roll an armor save or invul save for.

This rule also means that if two units are allocating attacks to him, he will use Retribution on both of those units!

Most impressive! I do not have a Belial and I definately should!

Thank you for reading this post!
