It is time to add two more Space Marine Heroes to my collection... not painted yet, but at least I have built them!

Yes! I am still gathering funds for my Sick Friend and completing his wishes in giving his collection a good home(s) while also getting him the money he needs to pay his mom back for his treatments.

So, besides asking people for donations, I am posting a lot of content and a lot of that content, quite rightly so, will be focussed on Warhammer 40,000! The hobby that brought my friend and I together!

First up:

Apothecary Biologis!

This model is great looking! But this is no ordinary Apothecary! This guy is not a healer. He is a field specialist who takes samples of the enemy in order to create deadly weapons against them.

So while he wears the white armor of the healer. He cannot do any healing. He wears Gravis Armor, giving him that Toughness of 5 and with his Leader Ability he can join units of Gravis Troops:

Heavy Intercessors
Eradicators
Aggressors

He grants the unit the Lethal Hits ability, meaning any roll of a 6 To Hit, scores an automatic wound!

Furthermore, should this Leader's unit destroy an enemy unit as the result of a melee attack, until the end of the battle this model's Objective Control(OC) goes from 3 to 9.

So for the rest of the game, this guy can hold objectives the same as 9 ordinary units that are not Battleline.

I still wish they would have given this guy some additional cool wargear to actually help him complete this task or at least some Extra Attacks with that Vivispectrum on his shoulers...

Space Marine Lieutenant with Combi-Weapon

Let see here... fairly ordinary bits... lots of knives... actually not ordinary bits at all, this guy is festooned with trophies of Tyranids he has killed!

he is also standing on a dead Neuroloid. This guy has a Combi-Weapon and nothing fewer than 3 knives on his person! Someone was watching too much One Piece! 3 sword style!

The completed model looks just awesome. He really has great detail and a great pose. GW really love giving Space Marines more Lieutenants to field and now with this model, comes a separate datasheet for the Lieutenant.

This model is a Lone Operative with the Stealth ability. So... you can only shoot at him when he is within 12" and when you do, you get a -1 Penalty To Hit when shooting at him.

He is super sneaky!

However, he needs to be close to do much damage himself and he is all alone.

He does however have some interesting abilities that maybe have nothing to do with himself as an individual.

This guy basically represents an elite commando who has been operating in the field for a long time on his own, rejoining the main force in order to scout out and engage the enemy as he can.

He can nominate an Objective at the start of the game. After that, he needs to be within 6" of anyone in your army. When those units make any sort of attack (Ranged or Melee) against a unit within range of that Objective, the re-roll To Wound rolls of 1.

This could actually mean that you do not need to set him up as a forward fighter at all. It could mean that you could deploy him further back, next to shooting units, nominate an Objective the opponent is really going to want, then line up the units to fire on that objective all game getting a buff.

If the Lieutenant is too far away, he cannot be targeted anyway!
