Editing Blade Champion (section)

==On the Tabletop==
On the tabletop, the Blade Champion is listed as even more of a beatstick than the shield captain and with 6 attacks, he's more than ready for the job. Melee is his stomping ground, as he not only has an expanded intervention range like the Emperor's Champion but also a hyper-tanky +1 to saves when fighting in melee and can't be hit on a 1-3 at any point. He also helps fellow '''<SHIELD HOST>''' units by giving them +1 to charge rolls if they target the same unit as the champion. Each one comes with a vaultsword he can use in one of three different styles tailor-made to kill whomever he faces, more info about this can be read in the [[Power weapon#Vaultsword|Vaultsword section of power weapons.]] His one weakness is at range: not only is he not issued a gun with his sword, but he gains nothing against shooting. You absolutely 100% need to get him a transport (or a badass, thundering arrival from golden light DS) so he can approach whoever he's needed to kill.
