What are your "fun" builds?

[Bloodlines39]

Whether for yourself, or for any of your companions? (Avoid major spoilers for folks who might find this later, of course.)

Doesn't have to be exactly viable at higher difficulties. As the title says, whats something you whip out to just have fun?

E.G. Giving Argenta a heavy flamer to build around, despite the heavy bolter supremacy, because you love flame weapons.

I love my current character. Voidborn, sanctioned psyker, officer.

Get the "Be Smart" talent so all your fellowship checks use intellect instead. Then focus on raising willpower and intellect and completely ignore fellowship.

With 4 AP he can use ignite and orchestrate flames, plus bring it down in the same turn. Works really well. I'm eventually going to get molten beam.

I'm thinking I'll make him a Master Tactician for his next class, and abuse the last volley desperate measure. It has a penalty that reduces your fellowship for the rest of the battle, but I don't use that at all. So the only penalty is a 1 turn ballistic skill penalty to everyone who makes the bonus attack.

Also giving Kibellah all the death cult equipment. Silent Verdict, Ritual Vestements, the special ring, and the gloves that make people explode. She is ripping and tearing everyone she touches. Fountains of blood.

If I ever find a two-handed chainsword I might have her use that, if it's a damage upgrade.

Sanctioned Psyker/Blade Dancer/Executioner was pretty fun.

I always end up building Argenta into a vanguard whose crit chance, crit damage, and rate of fire increases with every attack (with a heavy bolter of course) because it's ridiculous. By the end of the game she can kill almost anything in one burst, and the final boss in very few.

Honestly it is better to focus fellowship. There are no major items or talents for increasing int. There is for fellowship however.

Speaking of ignite and orchestrate. The new force swords help make a psyker blade dancer really fun. Sure end game isn't as strong as warrior executioner as bio pyro. Still has some whacky options with the 12 new swords.

I am very biased as I just like throwing pyromancy onto everything. Even the passives melting armour and fire within are enough to make a lot of builds far stronger. I made a heavy gunner Argenta build but went with artificer armour to make burst fires cost 1 ap but going fortress world it was shredding and generating a lot of additional attacks.

Still tinkering with some of the 1.3 changes and typing it all up https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3399032797

Relies on a bug with Bounty Hunter's Expert Finesse and Perfect Timing. You continually shoot between turns until everything is dead... your team included.

Soldier arch militant with as many things to buff Kick as possible and a shotgun. Whatever other gun for long ranged, but it's a heavy bolter right now.
