Editing Saul Tarvitz (section)

==Horus Heresy 1.0==

Saul Tarvitz is a weird character on the tabletop. He comes with a customized bolter that works exactly like a sniper rifle, a bolt pistol, frag/krak grenades and his Charnabal Blade (S+1, AP5, Two-Handed, Rending, Duellist's Edge (+1 init in challenges)). He is an Independent Character, has the Emperor's Children Legion trait, Master of the Legion and a special rule that allows him to be taken as an ally by loyalist and where he gains Preferred Enemy (Emperor's Children Astartes).

He is... actually pretty bad, since his shooting is anecdotal and without any reliable way to get AP 3 or 2 (Rending helps, but not enough) and lacking Eternal Warrior he's at a very real risk of being one-shotted into the ground by anyone wielding a [[Power Fist]] having merely scratched his opponent's armor. The plus side? He only costs 135 points. Which isn't much for a Master of the Legion and his Rites of War. But, unless you want to exploit his gimmick of a small loyalist detachment of EC's as allies to your loyalist Legion, there are better choices. Fucking rad mini, though!
