Editing Lugft Huron (section)

== Tabletop ==
There are two versions of Huron; ''before'' and ''after''. One of which represents him as Chapter Master of the Astral Claws whilst the other is the Chaos Lord form.

Bizarrely, the two versions share virtually nothing in common.
As Chapter Master; he has an extra wound & attack and terminator armour with a heavy flamer equipped. He also has the ability to get back up once per game if defeated, lets the entire army use his Leadership 10 and the normal Chapter Master bombardment ability becomes Ordnance 2, because it was Huron himself who said [[Awesome|"Big Guns Never Tire"]]. His relic is a pretty amazing AP2 lightning claw that forces re-rolls on invulnerable saves. So non-Chaos Huron is a bit of a monster and with an ''"as much as a Land Raider"'' price tag to go with it, not quite as good as some of the [[Marneus Calgar|other]] [[Darnath Lysander|big]] [[Asterion Moloc|heavy]] [[Logan Grimnar|characters]], but by no means useless.

After he got hit by [[Star Phantoms|Androcles]] melta-blast and rebuilt he took a bit of a dive in power, losing that wound and attack, as well as his Terminator Armour. His claw got replaced with an S+2, AP3, Armourbane one, but the Heavy Flamer ended up getting built into it. He takes an Axe for his AP2 needs, but unfortunately he's nowhere near as good in melee as before. All of his army-buff and "living legend" abilities also got lost so he doesn't add as much to his army ''(but then again, few Chaos special characters do these days)'', but he gets the '''Hamadrya''' which grants him a random psychic power every turn. (Bit of Trivia -Hamadryas is a genus of several butterflies and babboons. The name Hanadrya comes from Greek [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamadryad|Hamadryad] -a kind of wood nymph. It literally means "Together Tree". If the tree died, it would die. This is probably a reference to the fact that the Hamadryas familiar was spawned from the Maelstrom and Lugft couldn't venture far from the area without the creature weakening. Later he trapped the soul of a powerful sorcerer in a vessel to nourish the Hamadrya.)

For all of the nerfs, his price tag was also reduced considerably, so he makes for a pretty decent, cost effective, unmarked Chaos Lord who can pull a few tricks out of the bag.

There is an argument that the later chaos version really should have been better, especially since [[Ortan Cassius|other characters]] [[Colonel "Iron Hand" Straken|who have received]] a cybernetic rebuild ended up with improved stat-lines, so why didn't Huron? 
One could wonder why his rules don't really transition from one to the other with similar expectations; ''(Other than the fact that the Chaos version came first)'' Probably due to the internal balance of the codex... and increase in stats could end up too much like [[Typhus]] who is meant to be the resilient one with psychic powers. Or if they just took the Chapter Master version and "added Chaos" he could end up too similar to [[Abaddon]] who is meant to be the top-dog. So essentially the rules differences allowed Huron to be played distinctly from the other character options available.
