Asterion Moloc is the Chapter Master of the Minotaurs and one hardass motherfucker. Lord Asterion Moloc how he wishes to be called takes an almost perverse glee in stabbing dudes in the face with the Black Spear, a weapon that may or may not be based on an Adeptus Custodes halberd.
And instead of having a bolter strapped to the underside it has a built-in laser to vaporize dudes. Lord Moloc himself is a huge dude riddled with cybernetic augmentation that allows him to ignore even more wounds asterion moloc bitstamp he already could with his simmering rage.
Despite him often being on the battlefield alongside his Terminators stabbing dudes in the face, he has a ruthless mind for warfare, siegecraft, logistics and strategy. Lord Moloc's preferred enemy is fellow Space Marines, and he has become frightingly efficient at fighting them.
The large amount of high-end equipment used by the Minotaurs combined with them almost always deploying at full Chapter strength means that the Minotaurs have a good shot at kicking heretic ass, as the Lamenters and Inceptors can attest.
Because asterion moloc bitstamp the full deployment Lord Moloc is always in charge of the Chapter in entirity, meaning that in battle his captains are little more than his seconds.
There seems to be something strange going on with Lord Moloc. Moloc was spaced during the battle when the Imperial Navy blew open the ship he was on. His body was recovered and he was nursed back to health, which is not abnormal for a Space Marine who is merely spaced, but marks at least the seventh time that Lord Moloc was critically injured in battle yet lived to fight another day in five centuries.
Some asterion moloc bitstamp the possible explanations for this barring "Forge World gave him lots of plot armorobviously are as follows:. He possibly parallels Khorne himself, symbolically or otherwise, as his description says his name is a byword for slaughter, he rules over asterion moloc bitstamp chapter of raging berserkers that seek out worthy opponents, he comes back after allegedly dying which makes him more an asterion moloc bitstamp concept than an individual just as Khorne is the undying concept of hate, slaughter, and rage itselfand he's described as spending his off-battle time sitting on his "brazen throne" measuring the drops of blood that his chapter spilt.
On the battlefield he is incredibly expensive to field: Just as much as Lugft Huron and just under The M. He also gives his squad Fearless and Frag Grenades through his special rule, meaning that somehow he wills fragmentation grenades into being through nothing but asterion moloc bitstamp sheer RAGEwhich is something that even the Angry Marines have to respect.
He also has the ability to give the really shitty Minotaur Chapter Tactic an upgrade, giving every model who has it Preferred Enemy Space Marines in addition yes this does mean any and all Loyalist marines, regardless of Codexasterion moloc bitstamp by itself is almost worth taking asterion moloc bitstamp considering how many Marines are around now.
In other words just about anyone short of a Black Mace Daemon Prince or Smashfucker had better get on their knees and start sucking when Moloc start rolling in. Don't think you can win a challenge against him, he will rip off any balls of adamantium you think you have and force feed them to you, and get victory points for doing it.
Enclosed in this section is how Asterion Moloc fares against all other named Chapter Masters or their closest equivalentssince he's basically tailor made to kill them. His model is also fucking awesome.
Asterion moloc bitstamp Moloc is still a beast in 8th Edition. The Black Spear's shooting attack is now a 12" S8 AP-2 Dd3 trick that he can use as a regular attack, so make sure to get some zaps in. He also has some new auras: All in all Moloc is less the death machine on legs that he used to be, but he still has a good shot at murdering dead anyone who gets in his way.
Ads by Project Wonderful! Your ad here, right now: Asterion Asterion moloc bitstamp attacks 4 times, hits 2. Asterion Moloc starts off strong, dealing nearly twice the damage Papa Smurf can deal back, even though he has fewer attacks. Note that Marneus Calgar could choose Iron Resolve for his warlord trait, in which case he'll get a mutual KO against Moloc thanks to the fact that his fists aren't Unwieldy.
A bit of an unfair fight, after all Shrike is armed with just an AP3 weapon and he just became a Chapter Master very recently, he asterion moloc bitstamp even received a normal Chapter Asterion moloc bitstamp statline yet. While not a Chapter Master, Lysander might as well be one asterion moloc bitstamp he certainly has the statline asterion moloc bitstamp special rules to be one, and puts up the hardest fight yet.
Unfortunately the end result comes down to one factor, Lysander has the Unwieldy rule, and Moloc does not, allowing him to kill Lysander just before he dies. Even asterion moloc bitstamp Concussive, Lysander just cannot put out enough damage to keep Moloc Concussed throughout the fight not to mention Moloc isn't concussed in the turn he finishes off Lysander.
Putting out the third toughest fight so far is Pedro asterion moloc bitstamp to Iron Resolve, unfortunately just like Lysander he loses the damage race. Rounding off the sons of Dorn, this fight is more of a joke thanks to Helbrecht lacking an AP2 weapon, as such he's crushed just as he normally is whenever he'd up against an opponent wearing terminator armour.
While Huron puts out a very impressive amount of damage, he simply cannot kill Moloc fast asterion moloc bitstamp. Asterion Moloc attacks 4 times, hits 3. A asterion moloc bitstamp joke of a fight that's so pathetic it's not even funny, which it should be since Lias is not made for close combat. If Moloc charges and has hatred from a chaplain he can kill Lias in just one asterion moloc bitstamp.
Culln is proud to live, proud to die, and not hard at all to kill in this fight. Phoros attacks 4 times, hitting 3 times, wounding 2 times, causing 0. Malakim Round 2 and on: Phoros attacks 5 times, hitting 2. Malakim Phoros is another pretty good melee beatstick that is sadly unsuited for this fight thanks to his AP3 power glaive.
Asterion moloc bitstamp puts up a good fight, and can attempt to close the gap a little with Hit and Run, unfortunately even if he manages asterion moloc bitstamp get perfect Hit and Run rolls, and getting the charge every single turn he still cannot cause even 1 wound per turn. Unfortunately Gabriel Seth would have a hard time dealing with a Asterion moloc bitstamp if they wearing power armour, let alone a Chapter Master in terminator armour thanks to his AP4 weapon.
While certainly an impressive fighter and very resilient, Draigo loses the asterion moloc bitstamp race, dying one turn before he can kill Moloc. Moloc's built for wiping out Space Marines, and it's a job he does very well despite not having that impressive of a statline it's the same as the generic Asterion moloc bitstamp Masteroutdamaging everyone except Lysander, who he still manages to beat since he strikes first.
The closest match asterion moloc bitstamp the entire list is Marneus Calgar, since Calgar can give himself Iron Resolve, in which case the fight ends in a draw. Note, Mephiston isn't included in this list both because he's not a Chapter Master and because he has no listed invuln, which asterion moloc bitstamp he'll be dead within two turns.
