Kaedes Nex and/or Destroyers. Love me some pistol warcrimers. Purposely didnt bring 20 this time but usually I bring them.
What's the legion that favors Destroyers the most? Both rules-wise and lore-wise. I imagine in the lore, DG would probably be the ones most likely to use them, but I doubt any of the traitor legions cared much about committing warcrimes either. Rules wise... dunno, Alpha Legion to stop return volley fire?

Working on my WB Diabolist.
I'm really pleased with how it came together, especially the helmet and the glow on the plasma pistol.
Still haven't decided on whether or not I'll actually bother with picking up Lorgar, he doesn't seem... great.

Raven Guard for both. They Pioneered Moritats and have a fair number of them. RGs geneflaw is that they turn into serial killers that "see the dead" and become increasingly unhinged. Trait and advanced reaction keeps them alive. Plus the decal sheet has a ton of destroyer symbols on it for this reason.

The trait favors flanking as much as sniping or a gunline, which is easy to do with jump packs. Firestorm keeps them out of unnecessary combats, and the advanced reaction can scoot them away and grant shrouded. If you place them right, you'll get outside 18" front heir really shooty units and snap shots turn off augury scanners.

Honestly small units sniping with rad missiles to proc rad phage is a little scary. Then they have base 2 attacks and chainswords if they really need to mess something up or if you want a big unit to go in and clean up a T3 tac squad on the side.

A freeblade knight can be accompanied by an armger talon and can take House prime bonuses as if it were a prime slot.
And since that can mean it can get a yeoman detachment one freeblade knight can have an entire army as a retinue.

So they can, I completely missed that. That's very handy, even if it's just Expendable 1 (for the probably-dying thermal cannon knight) or DG legion trait (for the Atrapos/Porphy).
There's a Knight prime advantage that gives Battlesmith. I can't find any rule that indicates models aren't friendly models to themselves, so I assume that guy can heal himself?

For the more narrative-intensive players out there who play less "active" forces during Heresy (UM, Shattered Legions, 1kSons, etc) how do you reconcile their inaction with actually getting games in?
Example - I want to play a fluffy Ultramarines force, but they really aren't all the involved in anything prior to the siege outside small detachments. How are you justifying that? How are you dealing with an event where there is a rule such as "no X,Y,Z legion or Talons or Mechanicum?"
Or is this just a sign I should head over to /hwg/ or stop being so autistic?

just balance.
Highly mobile shooting is inherently very strong - you can easily position yourself to get first strike/shoot around LOS with high mobility, and its very hard for melee units to actually pin you down.
Also in 30k its kinda jetbike's thing

Now even Heavy weapons can walk and shoot. Mobility is still fine, but it's probably not as exclusive as it once had been. Also, bikes look schizo to me because they want to move, but not towards the enemy. Im like whaaaat? Move towards the enemy, then charge :D

Looking through stuff, and whilst Thunder Hammers are still the kings of TEQ purely for their width of availability, can I just say that a Librarian with a Force Axe is even better? Especially if you give him a Paragon of Battle Prime
>Has Impact (S) with Biomancy
>Paragon of Battle makes him WS6 with 5 attacks.
>Force axe is only -1 initiative, better than hammers, but is also AP2.
>+2 Strength combined with Impact (S) makes him Str7 Same as Hammers.
>Only 1D, but has Force (D) so you're one Willpower check away from getting 2 damage a swipe.
>Honestly only need to use Biomantic Rage on the rest of the unit really, as if they're Terminators as well, that means Hammers are only wounding on 4's now.
He doesn't even need to be in Terminator armour to join the unit either. That seems like a pretty nice capstone to be leading your Vanguard (3) or more special Termies onto a point with.

Those tac support squads don't look very good, and frankly neither are despoilers. Also, you didn't list any prime benefits. Maybe consider giving the claws to your centurion and the crusher to your praetor instead. And why do none of your chosen champions have special weapons while their squaddies all have fists?

You don't have any vehicles (well, a couple rhinos) so you're playing a skew list. You can either double down and take more infantry like termie squads or even dreads, or you can take some armored fire support like vindicators and destroyers. Either way that list won't win you many friends

ironically, WE are largely better at the IW's gimmick, since they can take the trait so failed leadership tests simply buff them. cool tests still effect them, but its a funny thought that phosphex just makes them stronger.

You don't need phosphex rapiers to push IW off of an objective when literally any marine melee unit will do it. The IW trait doesn't protect you from combat resolution and IW are a super shooty legion so if you close into melee its pretty easy to fuck them up.

good luck getting your melee units into combat with the 10 man tactical squad behind the 10 man breacher squad, which is behind the 10 man vet squad, a rhino, and a praetorian squad. Even if you win every combat in every turn there are not enough turns in the game to get there

yeah pretty much
2+ saves aren't that bad as long as you have high Strength, helps if you're hitting on 2+ as well but even on 3+ it's still ~1/11 overall to cause damage if your W roll is a 2+
a weapon which meets those criteria and has a D characteristic of 2 or better is desirable regardless of AP; a weapon which has a high rate of fire is also desirable
it's still 5x less likely than a lascannon or multimelta but it's got the range of a lascannon and more gun food

my point stands. If the marine spam player doesn't charge during his own turns, if the opponent gets a turn 1 charge, and if they wipe/win combat every single one of their turns, that's still not enough to take the rearmost squad off the point

Mission 3, Hammer and Anvil, RG vs IF. RG Victory 19-5. Objectives were center line parallel to deployment and about 20" apart.
I went first, dumped my two tacs out to toe into the control range of the objectives, scored 10 and reduced them by 1 each. IF tacs com up on the left objective, picrel is right before I move react into the ruin and hide my tacs. I stun his Vet tacs with a havoc but he saves it with a nuncio later. I move react my right tacs when cataphractii move up to them off the objective and behind their rhino, denying a charge, any shooting vanguard and hide them from more shooting. Land raider does one pen to my left rhino. His vet tacs, rotor squad and land raifer full of vet breachers stage on his half. The cata couldnt reach the right objective so he scored 4 off the left and reduced it to 1VP.
Turn two my Eagle full of breachers comes in the side, hidden from lascannons for interceptor. I drop my pod full of plasmagusn down to shoot catas. In the movement I dump my breachers 1.01" away from the IF tacs on the left side and toe in one tac into range of the objective. My Seekers set up to shoot his Vets with comibolters 24.1" away, sniping the vox and sarge, they then rout. 4 of my plasmaguns overload, kill the 4 and I kill 2 termis. Saturnine dread deletes the Rotor squad with armistos. My Furies stage on the left.I charge the tacs with my breachers to lock them in CC so my one Tac scores 3VP off the final call of the left objective. My tacs on the right score 4 off the right and bring it down to 1. His turn Pollux and breachers roll a 1 and dont deep strike. Vet breachers pile out on the right objective, I move react off to deny vanguard, pass my INT with the Augur and refund the RP. Cata shoot my Seekers who return fire doing 3 wounds to the Praetor and kill another termi. His Seekers get stuck in rhino parking lot hell because I shoved mine up next to his and have no shots on a valid target. TBC...

They're 5 man ret and vet squads anon, they're extremely easy to kill at range with any one of the many, MANY D2 guns. Besides which I'm looking at a master of descent so he may be planning to deepstrike some of them.
Even if he doesn't bother with a deepstrike its not really an issue, turn 1 the breachers and jetboys get 16" up board and jump on objectives. On my turn I flatten his vets because they're easy to kill and have vanguard, then I disgorge 20 axe Veletarii on each of his breacher squads and almost completely massacre them.
His turn 2 he routs my veletaris with his rets and moves his tacs on point, my turn 2 the LD10 command voxes regroup fleeing veletaris and his vets finish getting shot to death, then my veletaris mop up his tacticals, my lasrifles disembark from their dracos and we spend turns 3 and 4 camping all objectives while his rhinos try desperately to kill themselves.

So, if you hit a squad with a Stun weapon, they test for it at the end of the phase. Meaning they can still Return Fire to anyone, right? So, technically, a Stun cannot prevent a HSS from Returning Fire, can it?
>>96371180
Cont'd
LR does 4HP to my right rhino, Vet Breachers kill it in CC. He scores the final one point.
Turn three I just snipe his Praetor with my Mor Deythan and we call it.
Take-aways:
>Mission
Terrible format. I think you're supposed to take good mobile shooting so second player can tie with First Strike 10-10. We forgot counter-offensive but it wouldn't have done anything. Should be end of the round it ticks down or something instead.
>Vanguard
You'll likely never get it in this mission. You need Line 2 on points which means you need to land near your opponents which means they move react off. Shooty Vanguard will not let you catch up. Maybe indirect or mobile status dealers to try to stun the tacs so they cant react off? Even then I had a vox and command on the field to phone a friend at the start of my turn.
>Augur CNC Squad
OP, didn't even need to use the rotor to fish for a status. A MoS in this would be too much. No further notes
>Double Inversion Saturnine Dread
Scoring Deleter 5,000. Nothing wanted to risk its return fire and I hid it from the LRs lascannons.
>Dark Furies and MM Jetbikes
Did nothing, mission scoring ran away turn two.
>Warcrime Eagle
Hilarious. Being able to come in from the side turn two meant my Breachers and Siege Breaker menaced an objective. Here could have been a potential vanguard against me if he had more because the combat tied vs his Tacs somehow. I didn't bother to roll to see if it came in again.

Axe Veletarii are 230 pounts for 20, take a master sarge with a power fist for 10 points and a vox + vex + blast pistol and you're looking at 250 points.
For the cost you get 38 WS4 I2 S5 AP3 D1 Shred/Breaching(5+) attacks and 3 WS5 powerfist swings. That'll absolutely massacre almost anything with a 3+ save
They die in droves to power axes/mauls because their defence is shit but thunder hammers are kinda bad into them because both are I2 so you don't get to thin the herd before you get hacked to death.
WS5 fucks them up pretty bad as does any AP4 shooting but theres so little of either in anons list he legitimate gets his shit pushed in.
Their arrival is guaranteed by the blatantly overpowered dracosan which can seat 22 for 140 points base, which is also an assault transport in solar pattern lmao.

Demos absolutely should still shrink capacity. The lascannon Draco is finally balanced but for some god forsaken reason GW decided replacing 2 lascannons with a fucking demolisher was a 35 point upgrade that didn't effect squad size at all.

Like you said, high tier recasters unironically produce better quality than forgeworld itself (because they actually have quality control).
FW quality is just a roll of the dice on how new the mold was when your item was cast.
If you meet some loser that sucks enough GW ass that they accuse you of using recasts... do you seriously think they are the kind of person that you would enjoy playing with to begin with? You should thank them for doing you a favour and filtering out their bullshit before you waste time on an actual game.

Its quite frustrating honestly. I would much prefer to stick with current rules, and minimise houserules as much as possible. But GW seems to consistantly having really obvious, shitty issues with rules.
Scoring and terrain rules are so bad I really have to wonder if they were tested in any detail.
Either that or its a corpo conspiracy to ensure every edition has glaring rules issues, so the next edition can 'fix' those issues to enourage people to move on, while adding new issues to repeat the process in 3 years time.
2e had absolutely powerful reactions, blatantly OP dreads (mainly contemptors), AT too strong due to lascannons being the optimal choice against everything, etc. All these issues were 'fixed', but they just slot in new issues to ree over.

Its because they dont play test. most games i have found are decided on who ever gets atop an objective first more then likely is going to win.
For example the mission where its just 4 objectives all worth 2 point, if you go first, rhino rush onto 3 of them and like 2 of htem are line 2, you basically won because your almost never going to be able to over come that lead because there is almost no way you are gonna be able to clear them off 3 points.

An easy fix to scoring, is make it so you score at the start of your turn, not the end.

This is objectively a better scoring system, since its not as swingy, and you know, allows the other player to have input.
It'd just be nice to not have to house rule every basic thing,

1. They busy themselves with fighting, instead of merely garrisoning an objective
2. It's a tabletop balance mechanic, so that Troops still have a niche even when Veterans are better, compounded by
3. Tacticals are too good at capturing objectives, and could afford being Line 1 instead of being Line 2 (and thus generating as much value from a back objective as a regular unit would from the contested Central one)
Knowing this, what will you do now?

But then you have to change Vanguard, otherwise battles will always favor whomever is second because the first player gets 0 points on the objective but the second player gets 2+ for blasting them off it.

Building some old Tacticals to round out my 40K Infantry and paint alongside my 30K Tacticals, I have to say I prefer the less precise arms of the older kit due to how much less infuriating it is, though the hands can look a bit silly on close inspection. Also made me realize how much smaller the helmets are on the new kits despite being basically the same height when accounting for the old school squat.

Vanguard doesnt need to exist (or certainly not anything past vanguard(1) if scoring is at the start of the turn.
Vanguard basically exists as a catch up mechanic for line, but it mechanically doesnt work properly to begin with.

If you score at the start of the turn, retard, then sweeping that unit off the objective is denying points.
Vanguard needs to exist because there is no way to directly counter the enemy scoring because they do it at the end of their turn.
If vanguard exists with start of turn scoring, you are (where vanguard activates) actively giving your opponents points instead of scoring, not in addition to.

You're not understanding. You think vanguard exists because it had to counter line units. I think vanguard exists to make units that you don't ever bother trying to hold objectives with, to further push units into gameplay identities of either pushers (vanguard), turtlers (line) or holders (neither). The real sin is the piss poor missions not forcing you to deploy objectives centrally to force skirmishing, as well as having too few objectives making it possible to outcome your opponent.

only talk i guess? no one is really playing at all for HH no proof, but wargaming was down to begin with, hence hh push . the core was one waacfag ready for any system and any edition, and two people who started at the beginning of 2.0. the other three (including me) were complete newfags ready to jump into 2.0 around february/march after lgs employee pushed superhard for hh members.
waacfag and one 2.0 starter are the only ones signaled interest 3.0, one 2.0 starter against. and two newfags been just as silent as me. if there were any games of hh, let alone three, i don't think it was posted.

That's not much of a HH group to begin with, and most likely dying because nobody wants to play against the WAACfag anymore who is 33% of the players on his own.
If you really want to try HH you can download scans of the rules and use some proxy models or something. Try to avoid playing against the WAACfag, people like that will make any game look like shit. There's a notorious WAACfag in the LGS here who has single-handedly killed any and every alternative miniature wargame that people tried to get going.

i know i don't. how big is a health group? 5 different legions represented?
>If you really want to try HH you can download scans of the rules and use some proxy models or something.
i mean, i got all editions in preparation for the imminent "group decision". i've already given my two cents on it, but it's like a dropped topic. i would be the newest of the new guys. don't want to sound like a faggot, but vibes are off. my silence, instead of bringing up the question, still gives me an out to quietly back away if local hh was doomed to a low count
at this point i'd rather just ask /hhg/ for advice which edition to study, and try to learn things on my own for now.

It's relatively squishy as superheavies go, but it looks pretty good to me. Snapshotting against anything smaller than another superheavy isn't actually much of a problem, because the S13 D12 turbolaser is a 3" blast with 1d6 scatter so if you shoot centre mass it will be very hard for it to actually scatter enough to miss a large vehicle. Picks up a Spartan/Kratos/Raider a round on a 2+ and one of only a very few things that can meaningfully trouble the Brass Scorpion.

It's not because we don't want to play the Siege of Terra. It's because GW is retarded and failed to follow through on Alan Bligh's plan to eventually publish a dedicated siege of terra book (or possibly even two books, like the drop site massacre got) that would provide fluffy rules for the loyalists and traitors present, since by the SoT the traitors present are basically chaos marines and the loyalists are running around using 40k gear and have equipped themselves for defense

The Falchion is better at popping land raiders and smaller, since it has two D8 shots for extra reliability, but significantly more expensive, since the Shadowsword is a clean 480pts with the essentially mandatory Searchlights and the Falchion is 655. Has two more hull points, but I think in general there's not much in it so I'll take the cheaper one personally.

I identify as a stratos-automata. Ever since I was a enginseer I dreamed of soaring over the red sands dropping hot phosphex loads on disgusting flesh-beings. Astartes say to me that a person being a stratos-automata is impossible and I'm fucking retarded but I don't care, I'm beautiful. I've surgically install grav-plates, arc-blasters and phosphex missile launchers on my body. From now on I want you guys to call me "Magos Vultarax" and respect my right to kill from above and kill needlessly. If you can't accept me you're breaching the Treaty of Mons and need to repent before the Omnissiah. Thank you for being so understanding.

It makes me sad that GW is keeping to their retarded decision to make the flamers Veletarii.
>>96373370
Disordered charges probably won't matter given Veletarii don't have guns.
>>96373387
Is 4 Dracosans really spam? I assume he's putting his tercio of Veletarii in them as well instead of running them empty.
Also did they actually make the demolisher cannon not reduce transport capacity anymore?

Seems like an awful lot of Line Command, is there a specific reason why you need three of them with only two lasrifle tercios?
Otherwise, I like it, would run 27 ursarax into all those storm axe boys and watch the ridiculous bloodbath as they all annihilate each other at I3.
>>96373410
Demo cannons don't reduce capacity, no, and this is almost certainly a Storm Cohort, so Vanguard units charging out of a Dracosan don't make disordered charges, army rule. They're very solid medium melee now.

Axe boys are I2, they get eviscerated by anything with a power axe/power maul/ lighting claws. The only people calling axe sections OP are retards who can't stand the idea that there are matchups where thunder hammers and power fists are bad.

Hermes light sentinels, Aethon heavy sentinels, Malcadors and siege cohort Medusas seem like the best units for stacking status in the aux army.
Hermes squads are super cheap and can be given multilasers for suppression or grenade launchers for stunning. The Aethon can do both at once with the generic loadout or swap out to flamers for panic. The multilaser Malc can splitfire with no downsides so it can force suppression test on 4 different units every turn and the Siege Medusa is fucking pinning (3)

I unironically would recommend 3.0 for solo enjoyment. Almost all weapons and units have their own niche, without any real outliers that can be a solution to everything (like lascannon HSS are in 2.0) Allows for a lot more variety in list building, since you don't run into the issue of wondering "Why am I going through all this trouble instead of bringing more AP 2 pie plates/dreadnoughts"

Damn, I'd hoped you'd at least go before fists. Still, they can join the ursas in marine bullying school, I've been loving having 230-240pt units that just run around wrecking everything that isn't kitted out as proper heavy melee or is a dreadnought.

It is bollocks. The unit is indeed not allowed to move, but models still move a distance equal to their move value as part of the disembark process, meaning they basically do get to move.

If he has killed a rhino to secure First Strike going second, it would have been tied to start at least. The issue is with tempo and the objectives losing value; I would be able to steal the higher chunk of points each of my turns. Since I didn't have vanguard it's possible he could have body blocked me off the objectives forcing me into melee and hope to not run away. That's not a great tactic but better than nothing.
Secondary objectives might be more important than the seem. I was equipped for Slay the Warlord as always being RG. Saturnine dread made it so last man standing would likely have been mine too.

Kind of but not really. Vehicles can move through enemy models (but not vehicles) but can't displace them, don't force a morale test, and just cause D6 hits with Str 6. Death or glory still exists as a reaction, but it's actual suicide considering how much tougher tanks have become.

The issue is with the phrasing, I saw many players trip up on this. Disembark stops a normal move after the disembark. The move equal to the move value as part of the disembark is not actually a normal move. People thought it was, and honestly maybe it should be considering rhino rush.

A melta las kratos pretty much does the job. A couple of vindicators also have a decent shot at it, as does anything with enough laser destroyers. Throwing a veteran breacher squad with 4 lascutters mounted in a rhino at it also should work. There's still ways of doing it.

Is it just me or is Dynat kind of insane in challenges? His thunderhammer is initiative 3 and he cans drop the enemy initiative to 1 with the AL gambit, meaning he'll probably go first. Alternatively he could use his sword with decapitation strike and hope for a lucky free thunderhammer attack while still most likely going first.

There were a subset of blackshields that were basically severed from their parent legions in one way or another, changed up the insignia and kept doing what they were doing anyway, they're not all "I'm making my own space marine empire with blackjack and hookers'. My Loyalist Marine force is Crysos Morturg's warband from HH1 Betrayal, for example, who change badges from Death Guard to Blackshields after Istvaan as a rejection of Mortarion but stay as basically the same kind of formation.

Terrible. I know the book purposely doesn't assign types, but apparently they needed to spell out what the abstraction is for.
Heavy is for thick solid terrain like cargo containers, solid walls, impassible etc that due to the physical model might have unintended pinhole sniping opportunities. It is not for flat large pieces of terrain you can fit whole units in.
The depth clause for medium is to represent abstracted objects in the ruin; eg sandbags, corpses, crates, rubble, etc without actually placing them and making moving monies a pain. Ruins aren't all empty boxes; where did the roof or other floors go? Is there always an F99 tornado? Has ever single building exploded from the inside? That said the depth clause should be an optional modifier to represent building that exploded or such so some medium can be seen in/out but no through.
SN originally wanted all Light so Pardo could MoS vanguard snipe with HSS. They've lost the plot entirely.

Presumably because whatever mess of Legionnaires they managed to salvage from Istvaan + the various tech-priests in Decima's entourage weren't all Dusk Raiders. The last force mix we had for them was about half a dozen World Eaters and twenty Death Guard, and it probably only got more varied off Istvaan (assuming any of the World Eaters survived, anyway).

Also no if they remove siege spam wont change anything really for Tsons, thats just a particularly good and easy combo to throw out with them, they can do it with other things as well.
Tsons went from a very crappy legion in 2.0 to a very versatile legion in 3.0

At least we still have shooting arcs so it can't quite become 'put them all in a corner and screen it'

You just park them in a corner and they get the board. DESU you dont even really need to screen them because Deep strike is so fucked that hardly anyone runs it.
Every game i have run with them, they never get touched, the one game were it was possible, i shoot the aircraft outta the sky.

They are just really fucking good this edition because its fucking S10 D2 in a game where everyone is running a shit ton of MEQ because of how important line is. you just lob shells into their units and bully them off points or just slatten them.
DESU im kinda sad that the PDF came out after they wrote the book because IMO minotars should be options for the artillery tercio.

You could just make them impassible, or just not assign them anything if you spend the time to make sure no gaps exist. If they aren't stacked and a normal move gets on top. This is what I envision it trying to prevent, image isn't perfect but there does is clear. You aren't putting a tac squad or hss up there. It also prevents lone snipers seeing much more I suppose. Don't get too stuck on the cargo container. I mention other good examples that can include various GW walls that have tiny holes or slots that are otherwise obscuring which with the new rules means a unit outside could kill the whole squad inside if the see so much as a rivet. Assigning a wall heavy you can't get on or in prevents this.

Welcome to why i have been saying that this thing is really fucking good and why an artillery tercio allied detachment is almost always an auto take for me.
Its good at taking out blobs of marines.
You can also run the medusas which are around 480 points? they S10 d2 large blast but are Breaching 5, and Pinning(2) but the tercio gives them +1 to pinning so pinning 3.
36" pinning 3 pie plates fuck, hard.

Blackshields, you could mix Pride Is Our Armour (Detachment gains +2 Elites slots, one compulsory, and loses all Troops slots) and In Disgrace All Are Equal (Detachment loses all HQ slots) to get an Allied Detachment with 4 Elites slots (1 compulsory).
In other words, up to 12 Contemptors as an Allied Detachment.

Ah yes because when moving we change to lighter, easier to handle shells

Ah yes because historically tanks moving halves the explosive charge of the shell magically if the impact is is 1mm off the intended hit location.

GW are bongs, they probably think the Basilisk works like an AT gun and does damage via velocity and thus when on the move they have to use lighter charges.

You're right but I bring up crates as one example of a potential heavy piece so that it's not all walls. Eg large "scatter" you want to make absolutely sure can't be seen through despite the model or pile assembly. It could be a power substation that's really just a jumble of cables and boxes, poles etc you can place a model in but if you whip out a laser you can find pinholes. That kind of stuff. You could just agree "hey this blocks LoS" but at that point you're giving it heavy with out saying the word "heavy".

How to fix artillery. rather then doing a normal scatter you have to call it in by giving the cordinates of the location on the mat via inches up onside of the board, and then inches up the other, but you are not allowed to use a measuring tape to do so.
If you are using artillery you are allows to place 4 markers along any board edge to note range increments for but you can not measure beyond that.

sadly yeah DA are not great right now. Their legion trait kinda fucking blows chunks since its basically just a worse version of the IW trait, their gambit is fucking AWEFUL, their reaction can be interesting but it sorta just exists to speed up the inevitable
The biggest issue with DA is that most of the reason they suck, is because of indirect nerfs.
- Heavy getting cucked on the set up makes getting theri elite terminators into combat a lot harder
- Plasma getting fucked makes their repeaters and plasma flamers shit
- Torrent getting removed makes they heavy incinerator shit.
- Lost all their wing abilities
The only thing they got going for them is the ability to spam Retinues and spam Prime troop slots.

his hammer is worse than a regular hammer because it's A-1; he's probably better for bullying Line off Objectives (especially giving infiltrate to another unit) than going up against other Praetors; of note is that he has worse WP than a stock Praetor so his ability to resist a Warp Rupture is worse, and he can get Soul Bound by Zardu Layak if he's in range of the blade slaves, for example
the sword is pretty good (as is the bonus attack) but this is definitely a bullying weapon rather than a duelling your equals weapon - he is significantly more expensive than the generic equivalent would be

dynat can be quite good because of how the extra hammer attacks work
say you use flurry of blows on him and all the attacks on the sword, its D1 anyway
but RAW, flurry of blows ONLY affects attacks made with your attacks characteristic, not the extra hammer attack you get for hitting 3 times with the sword, so its a cheeky way to get a multiple damage attack in
