Editing Sevatar (section)

===Horus Heresy 2.0===

The badass motherfucker of the VIII Legion is back with some rule changes for 2.0. Gone is his Master of Ambush trait from before. Now his warlord trait gives Deep Strike to Legion Terminators in Cataphractii or Tartaros armour, as well as giving Preferred Enemy (Everything) to Contekar and Legion Terminators on the turn in which they arrive from Deep Strike. He also gives an additional reaction in the movement phase. He has the standard 2+/4++ you would expect, along with Bloody Murder, Fear (2), and Precision Strikes (4+), and a standard bolt pistol.

But how does he measure up in combat? He comes with a Master-crafted Two-handed S+2 AP2 Chainglaive with Murderous Strike (6+) and Duellist's Edge (1), which for some reason doesn't have Shred despite it being a chain weapon. That's all well and good, but we're not done yet. Sevatar is a dirty fighter, which means he gains Instant Death on all his attacks while in a Challenge, and since he's I6 (I7 with the Duellist's Edge bonus) and has four attacks at WS7 (or WS8, but we'll get to that) he's sure to blend pretty much anyone short of Sigismund or a Primarch.

The last thing he brings is a psychic power meant to replace the absolute cheese that was Precognition in 1.0. His Dark Dreams require him to take a Psychic test against Ld7 and if he passes he gets WS+1 (making him WS8) and +1 attack. It's cool, but not really worth rolling for unless he's up against someone of equivalent or greater WS since it has a 43% chance of failing and causing Perils and he's already good enough against most opponents. Just remember to watch out for Instant Death or Sisters of Silence, as they'll royally fuck him up. Moreover, you'll get messed up by anyone who gets bonuses against Psykers even if you don't use your power, so look out for those. All that being said however, Sevatar is still essentially tied with Corswain as the second best duelist character in all the Legions (with Sigismund of course being first).
