A Khornate Berzerker vs A Balor | Thread profile

Yes Balor were probably based in part on Balrogs, and their names start with Bal, but they AREN'T THE SAME, Balrogs are actually supposed to be tougher than Balrogs if I remember correctly, I mean Balrogs are essentially immortal aren't they? not so with Balors, they can die.

Power armor strength is taken from the very concept of power armor: It's litterally "Powered Armor". It powers itself. Definition. Most of that power is used to move itself.

I thought Gandalf killed one? Anyway you can't tell if they're tougher because noone tested which sized...

Space Marines are NOT homo sapiens. When was the last time you saw a person that could spit acid, was totally immune to virtually all normal diseases, and had multiples of every vital organ? The official rulebook and codices flat-out state that Space Marines can no longer be considered human. So I'm sorry, but you're wrong.

If the breserker is Khârn the Betrayer, however, Kharn edges out on top. Angron would kick the crap out of a bloodthirsters. Normal Space marines are probably like CR 5, tops. And the termies are which CR then? Remember these guys can...

The elves are immortal too, yet they can be slain. Also, Gandalf manages to kill that particular Balrog. You have to...

Also @ /\: i was trying to find those in my collection. They were 500 points ish if i remember, and could take out a baneblade with relitive ease

What rules system are you using? <snipped other stuff> Quote: Originally Posted by sikyon Apparently you tried to directly convert a balor's D&D 35 str and 31 con into 35 str and 31 toughness into inquisitor directly. That's a boo-boo. Unless you actually meant 31 con instead of T and you...

Is the Berserker Favored by Khorne?

Quote: Go read your Index Astrates and every piece of fluff describing how a space marine is made again I think perhaps you should go take a look, specifically the sections which look at physiological changes not attributal to Space marine organs. A key point is that their blood types all match, any marine can donate to his battle brothers, regardless of their original blood type, as well as the use of genetic material from Primarchs or some...
