Lysander is tough. Do not fight Lysander. He will win. He has a captain's stat line with an extra wound and a bunch of fun toys. Basics first, he has ATSKNF and Chapter Tactics (Imperial Fists: Bolter Drills, which Lysander gives 0 shits about), plus he has Eternal Warrior. His warlord trait gives him FNP, as if he needed more durability, and a unique rule "Icon of Obstinacy" that makes your space marines within 12" know no fear (rerolling morale checks! Because they really needed that. For toys he has a suit of terminator armor for a good save, plus he has a storm shield and the "Fist of Dorn" which is a thunder hammer that strikes at strength 10 AP2.

Lysander is dead 'ard and dead killy. Seriously, not only is this fucker striking at strength 10, he's got 2+/3++/5+++ with eternal warrior and he WILL NOT run away from you. While he's no tactical genius, Lysander will take most challengers that dare to step up. Seriously, even [[Marneus Calgar|The]] [[Dante|Big]] [[Logan Grimnar|Three]], or [[Smashfucker]] will have trouble with this guy. By mathhammer he'll only consistently lose to a few independent character challengers like [[Kaldor Draigo]], [[Asterion Moloc]], [[Abaddon]], or [[Phoenix Lord|a few of the Phoenix Lords]], like [[Phoenix Lord#Jain_Zar|Jain Zar]] or [[Phoenix Lord#Asurmen|Asurmen]], with his "Fuck-Your-Eternal-Warrior" 1-shot sword.

*'''Special Rules'''
**'''Angels of Death''': Basically Shock Assault, making him hit 5 times when charging or charged.
**'''{{W40Kkeyword|Imperial Fists}}''': Still useless on him.
**'''Deep Strike'''
**'''Icon of Obstinacy''': Only 1 '''IMPERIAL FIST''' model may flee as a result of a failed morale test within 6".
**'''Rites of Battle''': Re-roll hit rolls of 1 for friendly {{W40Kkeyword|<CHAPTER>}} units within 6".
**'''Warlord Trait''': ''Indomitable'': Cannot be wounded by wound rolls of 1-3, regardless of the weapon's Strength characteristic. Makes him considerable harder to shift due to effectively ignoring 50% of all wounds.
*'''Wargear'''
**Terminator Armor, Storm Shield, Fist of Dorn

Lysander has a captain's stat line with an extra Ld (which usually won't matter) and his chapter tactics are also usually irrelevant - he has no weapons to ignore cover saves with, and he lacks any guns he'd want to use on a building. His warlord trait means that even overcharged plasma and Knights can only wound him on a 4+ or better. The big seller is his melee weapon, which acts like a Thunder Hammer without the to-hit penalty and with an additional +2S, although if you give him an S buff you'll notice that it isn't a normal thunder hammer - e.g. under ''Might of Heroes'', he'll go to S11, not S12. This difference will tend to be insignificant, however, as he's already strong enough to flatten even Knights with a good thwack.
