	As far as actual tabletop worth, Corbulo is~~.. Impractical~~ at ~~best. For sixty points above~~ a ~~Sanguinary Priest you~~'~~re getting~~ +1 ~~initiative, +1 (rending) strength and attacks~~ in ~~melee. Alternatively~~ you ~~could spend the exact same number of points to get two Sanguinary Priests~~, or ~~get one priest~~ and a ~~minsquad of Tac Marines or Scouts. Sure~~, ~~one~~ to ~~one~~ he~~'s objectively better than~~ a ~~Sanguinary Priest~~ if you ~~ignore points, but he isn't point efficient enough to justify taking~~ him~~.

	~~===Alternate Take===~~		{Marines-Characters}}
	Whilst it is true that you could take 2 Sanguinary Priests for his cost, and given how scarce they are in the current edition due to their being moved to HQ and it would be perfectly legit to want as many as possible, Corbulo can arguably be point efficient if used correctly. When paired with a Terminator Assault Squad, he is downright horrifying. Firstly, he himself is actually WS6 and I6 due to the effects of the Red Grail, and on the charge he is initiative 8 (yes, EIGHT!!!!!????) if you make him your warlord and S6 Rending, plus a 3+ and 5+++, which is absolute madness at 120 points, and that's only him. If you pair him with Terminator Assault Squad in the 3xTH/SS configuration, you now have a squad where in addition to the stuff they already have, the ones with Lightning Claws are I6, all are WS5 and they have a 5+++ in addition to their already ridiculous saves. Oh and also there's that re-roll he gives you, which can be used at any time for any roll provided he's still alive. Basically when used properly Corbulo is an excellent HQ in his own right and a brutal force multiplier. Finally, if his points value really bothers you, just compare him to Captain Tycho who is 10 points more.... see what I mean? Use Corbulo well and he's great.
