Editing Brother-Captain (section)

==Tabletop==
In [[Warhammer 40,000]], Captains are sold to be customizable for the player to have the Captain serve whoever they want <s>unless it’s a smash captain</s>. However, it's overly expensive for something so fairly useless in its primary purposes: fighting and dueling. If you're going to use a Captain, use a Special Character. Alternate take: Captains are more survivable than most other marine HQ's and fulfill the requirements for the demi-company formation. As such, there is cause enough to use them.

In 8th Edition captains have become much more viable with a useful aura ability which allows for re-roll hit rolls of 1s for your chapter units. This works for both ranged or CC oriented play styles and can work with different HQs, like the [[Ancient]] (for that retaliation) or the new [[Lieutenants]] (for making those 1 re-rolls hurt). Works even better with the new [[plasma]] mechanics, allowing those 1s to become a fail or hits instead of instant death.
