How well would an Azrael/Apothecary/Inner Circle Companion work?
New to 40k, planning out my army. I realized that I can attach a Lieutenant or Apothecary to an epic hero and then that I can apply detachment enhancements to them as well.
This is something I likely wouldn't use unless I'm in a game of 1500 pts or higher given the cost but the benefits to counter the cost seems to be:
-
Ability to potentially bring back an ICC if they get knocked out
-
Doubling up on enhancements to make either the unit tankier or hit harder, depending on the detachment enhancement
-
And increasing the size of the unit just enough to keep it more maneuverable than a 7 model plus unit
Cost for this would be 255 to nearly 400, varying upon detachment rules and if I want to run ICC in 3 or 6 depending on the battle field.
Thoughts? Is this too expensive to be good or is it solid under higher point total armies?
