Editing Kor Phaeron (section)

==On the Tabletop==
Kor Phaeron brings his Old Man's Strength to the tabletop for your Word Bearers Space Marine Legion in 30k. If taken he must be your Warlord unless Lorgar is also in your army (since Sire of the Word Bearers takes precedence). If Kor Phaeron is your Warlord, the Old Man gives all Word Bearers +1 Leadership. He has a pretty weak statline sadly with Toughness and Initiative of 3 and Weapon Skill of 4 (not too surprising for the so-called "half-Astartes"), but, amusingly, 4 Wounds, something even Praetors don't get. Equipped with a [[Fail|one-use]] Hand Flamer and twin Lightning Claws, Kor Phaeron has only 2 base attacks, obviously not being a combat monster, but he is a Level 1 Psyker (due to Burning Lore), a count-as (no Preferred Enemy:Loyalists or Daemon USR, but his army do get access to Dark Channeling and he is one for RoW purposes) Diabolist, and a Master of the Legion, which is nice. The 155pts pricetag is a lot lower than for most 30k characters, but still unreasonably high for what he does, given that his main strength in-lore (being the commander of a full [[terminator]] company) isn't represented in the tabletop. He also allows to take an allied detachment of Daemons [[Fail|as Fellow Warriors]], but as ''Book 8: Malevolence'' this is a dead rule, since Ruinstorm Demons are "Agents of the Warmaster", and thus Sworn Brothers with all traitors.
