| | '''THE GRAND DAD EMPIRE''' ARE a prolific VINESAUCE-centric MEME group based in BEDROCK CITY. Their largest periods of activity seemed to be around the time SILVAGUNNER was terminated, when they were hosting several unofficial VINESAUCE gaming events (which they assure you repeatedly are ''not'' official Tournaments and are in no way affiliated with JOEL). |
| '''Varro Tigurius''' is one of the most powerful loyal human [[psykers]] currently alive. He is so powerful he can beat [[daemon]]s like a [[Grey Knights|Grey Knight]], he can fight like a [[Terminator]], use every known psychic power (and several unknown ones) AND foresee the [[Hive Mind]]'s plans. Somehow. It is worthy to note this is the same Hive Mind that blots out a psychic power on par with the [[God-Emperor of Mankind]] Himself. How one man can use the [[warp]] against this is unknown. And he belongs to the [[Ultramarines]]. Who would have thought? | |
|
| |
|
| In spite of all this, the [[Daemonculaba]] still gives him nightmares and the opening of the [[Great Rift]] left him unconscious for months.
| | They operated out of the SilvaGunner YouTube channel until it was terminated in 2014, after which they appear to have transitioned briefly to GiivaSunner in September of 2016 before returning to SilvaGunner in June of 2018. |
|
| |
|
| Also did we mention this was BEFORE Matt Ward wrote him? Except he was Ld9 because due to his awesome powers his soul just shine in the Warp like a giant neon banner with a sign "eat me daemons, I'm so delicious!" on it.

| Following his conversion into a Primaris Space Marine, it's said his power has grown to heights formerly thought impossible for a Space Marine to reach. However, there are some among the Chapter who wonder how sustainable that power might be...and whether it might ultimately end up harming Tigurus more than it helps him.
| | == EVENTS == |
| | The VINESAUCE MEME events that The GRAND DAD EMPIRE held were known for being diverse and involved, due in large part to their incredibly strong YTP scene. These events would involve VINESAUCE-branded fan-made HIGH-QUALITY RIPS for SONGS that wouldn't exist for nearly a decade, and some that still don't! They also hosted some of the first KING FOR ANOTHER DAY tournaments, with fan HIGH-QUALITY RIPS. |

| Tigurius is DAH BESHT LIBRAHRIAHN EVAR if you believe Ward's fluff, and to be honest he's definitely one of the best choices a loyalist has as far as psykers go, though there are certainly [[Red Scorpions#Sevrin Loth|a]] [[Mephiston|few]] [[Njal Stormcaller|who]] can compete with him. He's an ML3 psyker with access to Divination, Daemonology, Biomancy, Telekinesis, Telepathy, and Pyromancy. He has the Ultramarine standard ATSKNF and Chapter Tactics and Independent Character and his warlord trait allows him to grant one squad within 12" of him the Rending USR each shooting phase, which is nice. He has a unique rule called "Master of Prescience" which gives him rerolls while rolling for psychic powers and also allows you to reroll reserve rolls for units in the same detachment as Tigurius when he's alive. Gear-wise he has your average librarian's loadout of power armor, a bolt pistol, frag and krak grenades, plus he has a relic psychic hood that allows him to reroll psychic tests and the Rod of Tigurius, a melee weapon with Strength +2 AP4, concussive, force, Master Crafted, and soulblaze. Also worth noting that the Rod of Tigurius is rumored to be the same staff [[Awesome |'''held by Malcador in the Great Crusade''']]. Later revealed to not be the staff when the AdMech finds the real thing elsewhere, [[A Game of Pretend|but we can pretend.]]

| Not only is he ML3, he gets rerolls on psychic tests and generating his powers, so not only are you likely to get the powers you want, you're probably going to be able to pull them off. With his rerolls and the hood you're probably going to shut down your enemy's psychic powers. As for drawbacks... He's a bit soft I guess, with his 3+ and 3 wounds (though he can compensate for that with psychic powers and bodyguards). He's not a beast in a challenge, but then that's not what you're taking him for. Tigurius is really good at psychic stuff, and that's why you want him. Enjoy.

| As of writing, Varro has successfully undergone the same process as [[Marneus Calgar|Papa Smurf]] and has become a Primaris Marine with a shiny new (slightly over detailed) model.

| He's been hit by the nerf bat a little. Down to two powers per phase (both casting and denying), but he gains the ability to re-roll powers (including successful ones in case of Perils), gets +1 to Deny rolls and Psychic tests, and he has 3 of the powers from the Librarius or Indomitus discipline. In addition, he has the Rod of Tigurius, which is a glorified Force Stave, granting him +3S instead of +2, not that you want him in combat anyway. On top of that, he can protect an {{W40Kkeyword|ultramarines}} unit within 6" of him (including himself, of course, if he likes) with -1 to be hit during the enemy's Shooting phase (regardless of the nature of the attack, if they have way to make melee attacks during the Shooting phase). This ability, while nice, will not protect ''him'' from weight of attacks, as he lacks any form of invulnerable save or even a 2+ armor save; don't shove him in front of sniper spam. Still, a nice, reliable HQ for his cost and a bit more resilient now that he's a Primaris.
| |
| | |
| However, the Precognition psyker spell from the Indomitus Discipline could help him be a little more resilient, granting a 5++ and a -1 to enemies trying to hit, stack that with his Master of Prescience for a total of a -2 to hit (good luck, Tau!) and an admittedly okay-ish invulnerable save.
