Broken camera? Check. Backpack in the shop? Double Check.
Corbulo is is the High Sanguinary Priest of the Blood Angels. He's basically an Apothecary that gives off a 6" Furious Charge bubble and comes in at the price of a Librarian with a Melta Bomb. He basically has the stats of a Space Marine with one less Wound and Weapon Skill. Corbulo also comes with a couple of war gear items and a special rule that rocks a lots of cocks [citation needed].
Heaven's Teeth: A chainsword that gives Corbulo +1 Strength (5) and has the rending special rule. Seeing as how he come with 4 attacks base and he is usually hitting on 3's you have the potential to do some damage to high armor foes or medium armored vehicles.
The Red Grail: As stated above, Corbulo is an Apothecary that grants any unit within 6" of himself Furious Charge and Feel No Pain. As an added benefit his pimp chalice grants Corbulo a 2+ Feel No Pain. Awesome pizza sauce.
The Far-Seeing Eye: Once per game Corbulo can use his super powers to divine the strands of fate. What the fuck does that mean? He lets you re-roll one dice per game. This can be any roll of the dice, including the role to seize the initiative. This has gotten me out of a jam more times than I care to admit.
So, now that you know about this hunk how the hell do you use him? I've been having a lot of success plopping him down in a Drop Pod with a unit of Sternguard with combi-plasmas. He sits in front of the unit and tanks wounds with his 2+ Feel No Pain while the Sternguard do what they do. Corbulo isn't too bad in combat and gives the unit a 5+ Feel No Pain and Furious Charge bonus, which is great for the Get's Hot nature of combi-plasmas. Another great way to use him is in a Storm Raven with a unit of Thunder Hammer/Storm Shield Terminators. They will hit like a ton of bricks and if the 5+ Feel No Pain really helps if the damn funky chicken explodes before they get to their destination.
All-in-all Brother Corbulo really helps the struggling Blood Angels in the 6th edition. So, what are your coolest moments using the hunky Hercules?
