The main issue with this sword is its use of the wielders base strength. The Blade of Laer is a S:user sword with AP2, rending, specialist weapon and two-handed. This isn't anything special but its still a decent weapon that can cause a good amount of wounds against whatever foe Fulgrim is about to charge. The Firebrand is simply a master-crafted volkite charger with the shred special rule. HOWEVER in assault (not just a challenge), the invulnerable save of the armour increases to a 3++ due to the immense skill Fulgrim possesses as a swordsman.

Which is not particularly striking compared to other Primarchs that come with a 4++ as standard. The Gilded Panoply is Fulgrim's armour that provides a 2+ save and a 5++ invulnerable. The notable aspects here are his high WS and I which will give him the edge against most everything except other Primarchs that are close combat orientated, but he will do very well against many other weaker Primarchs such as Alpharius, whose own skills do not revolve around direct combat engagement but force multiplying, as an example.įulgrim has krak and plasma grenades as standard wargear before you get on to his unique wargear: The Gilded Panoply, The Blade of Laer, and Firebrand. The Primarchs all differ in their base stats to reflect there particular physiology and upbringing that has ultimately led to their style of warfare.
