Third, he heals one HP every turn, because you know, he can fix the tank and be a crack shot at the same time.		Sergeant Chronus does 3 things.

	Since 8th does not gives buckets of re-rolls anymore, with twin-linked being effectively replaced by twice the shots, put Chronus in a Land Raider for 4 pinpoint accuracy Lascannon shots a turn, not taking into account other weapons.

	If his tank is destroyed, however, he is pretty useless as he only has a Bolt Pistol and Servo-arm (basically a Thunder Hammer that can only attack once per turn)to fight, and no ability to boot, so make him retreat to the nearest objective and help it hold it.

	Chronus seems to rub non-Ultramarine players off the wrong way. This is partly because Space Marines is not, traditionally, an army heavy on tanks, but it's also because he's overshadowed by [[Knight Commander Pask]], an [[Imperial Guard]] tank commander that's far more awesome. He also wasn't introduced until [[Matt Ward]]'s Codex: <s>Ultramarines</s> Space Marines was released, so he's (relatively) new.		Chronus seems to rub non-Ultramarine players off the wrong way.

He also wasn't introduced until [[Matt Ward]]'s Codex: <s>Ultramarines</s> Space Marines was released, so he's (relatively) new.

	Those that ''do'' know about Chronus are usually pretty mad about him, for a few reasons. First off, he's stated as excelling at ''every'' vehicle in the Ultramarines' armoury, despite the fact they all have very different battlefield roles. Apparently he's just as good at aiming a [[Whirlwind]]'s barrage as he is at piloting a [[Predator Tank\|Predator]]. He also kept the Predator ''Rage of Antonius'' running during the [[Necrons\|Damnos Incident]], despite the severe damage it had sustained. This baffled the Chapter's [[Techmarine]]s, until they realized that Chronus had extreme Plot Armour and should probably be promoted. Finally, the Ultramarines got ANOTHER special character, even though the [[Iron Hands]] still ~~don~~'t have any. This is especially rage-inducing, as the Ultramarines aren't especially known for their vehicle formations or technical skill; Chronus would fit much, MUCH better as an [[Iron Hands]] or [[Aurora Chapter]] character (it should be noted, however, that the Aurora Chapter is a successor of the Ultramarines. So there are some [[Robin Cruddace\|treadhead]] genes in [[Gene-seed]] of our [[Roboute Guilliman\|Spiritual Liege]]. [[Skub\|Make of that what you will)]] . But no, the Ultramarines needed another Mary Sue special character.		Those that ''do'' know about Chronus are usually pretty mad about him, for a few reasons.
