A non-scowly look on the man.

Brother Corbulo is Sanguinary High Priest to the Blood Angels. He holds the duties of a codex chapter's Master of the Apothecarion and shares certain duties with a reclusiarch as he keeps many of the chapter's relics, though the Blood Angels do have their own chaplains. Of all the relics he keeps none are more treasured than the Red Grail that was used to catch the blood of Sanguinius after he was slain aboard the Vengeful Spirit and still it contains his blood after ten thousand years. Somehow. This chalice is used in the creation of all Blood Angels' recruits as drinking the blood of sanguinius is the final step in the transformation into a marine (though this makes one wonder why the flying fuck Corbulo keeps carrying the thing into battle). Of all the Blood Angels Corbulo supposedly the truest of his father's sons, though not purely in the physical sense. He is said to have his father's deep wisdom and even his gift of foresight, a talent that has served his brothers well. Corbulo forsaw the second war for Armageddon long before it happened so the Blood Angels were some of the Earliest to answer the world's call for help. Also notably an actual scientist in the traditional sense. Unlike the Mechanicum or the typical Apothecarium of your typical chapter, Corbulo and his subordinates actually use logic and experimentation to solve the gene-curse of the Blood Angels and their brother chapters, though this doesn't always work out the best for them.

In game Corbulo is a more expensive Sanguinary Priest with a few extra goodies. He has ATSKNF, Furious Charge, Independent Charater, and his forsight is represented by allowing you to once per game reroll a single dice (yours or your opponents) of the following types: To hit, to wound, scatter, saving throw, reserve roll, or seize the initiative. His warlord trait is Speed of the Primarch which adds 1 to his initiative, As far as gear goes he comes out of the tin with power armor, a bolt pistol, frag and krak grenades, a narthecium, Heaven's Teeth (a Str+1 rending chainsword) and The Red Grail, a relic blood chalice that adds +1 WS and I to any blood angel within 6" of Corbulo (including himself; this bonus is not included in his above profile).


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 Scounts. 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. Unless you're running a really fluffy list, don't bother.
