 Re: Huron Blackheart and his Red Corsairs
the armour thing was me, and your welcome - i found out the hard way, and the least i could do was spare you the same fate!
right, those terminators - remember that when deepstriking you cannot charge that turn. therefore you will still have to suffer a turn's worth of fire. furthermore, you will be closer to the enemy so a) more weapons will be in range and able to shoot at them, and b) you will be a sudden threat that the enemy will want to be rid of as soon as possible, thus making him invoke point a.
you can however fire with them, so it may be worth equipping them with the correct ranged weaponry for their intended role so that should the worst happen, they may at least have got some worthwhile shots off first!
obliterators needn't be entirely ruled out - the fluff has now made them more like uber mercenaries, and so you could go along the lines of 'such is Blackheart's notoriety that it has attracted the attentions of a band of Obliterators who have chanced the crossing from EoT to join the Corsairs in exchange for a share in the spoils'
