Tacticus Character Promos

There is a contest on the Tacticus discord to write 80-100 word scripts for a series of videos promoting the various heroes. Here are my entries:

INCISUS

An Ultramarine is worth ten men on the battlefield. Every second he stands is a promise of death and destruction to his enemies. It falls to Apothecary Incisus to maintain the health of his brothers. Incisus can Heal one of his wounded brothers or, should several need urgent attention, distribute Combat Restoratives to heal all adjacent allies, restoring more for Imperial units. It is a good idea to keep him close to vulnerable targets as his Narthecium can potentially revive an adjacent ally that suffers lethal damage. And far from harmless, he’s lethal with a bolt pistol.

 

VARRO TIGURIUS

Chief Librarian Tigurius is one of the most powerful Psykers in the Imperium and he bends the powers of the warp to his command, so you better be quiet in his library. Varro can unleash Smite at range to hit two enemies and ignore their armor. If his foes are foolish enough to group up, his Storm of Wrath will deal heavy psychic damage to up to four targets. Whether advancing or defending, he erects a Psychic Fortress around adjacent allies, granting them a block chance and outright reducing incoming psychic damage.

 

VINDICTA

Sister Vindicta burns with passion in service to the Imperium. And her foes burn too. And sometimes even her friends. Vindicta wields a Heavy Weapon flamer, gaining bonus damage if she does not move. Her Fire of Absolution scorches all units adjacent to her target, including allies, and can set the very ground ablaze, so be careful who you attack. And if one gout of sacred flame is not enough, her Armorium Cherub will gladly reload to reduce her foes to ashes and cleanse the Empire of the heretic and the xenos.

 

COMMISSAR YARRICK

Yarrick demands no more from his men than what he is willing to give of himself … which literally includes his right arm and his left eye. Yarrick is Resilient, able to withstand lethal damage and keep fighting at 1 hp, tearing into his foes with a stolen ork power klaw or shooting them with his storm bolter. He can Send in the Next Wave to summon four Cadian Guardsmen to immediately attack a target. And should an ally flee from Battle Fatigue, a Summary Execution will render the remainder immune and inspire them, granting bonus damage.
