  1. So Calgar is seemingly the only way to retain the old-school combat tactics? He sounds like he will be an absolute support MACHINE. 3 warlord traits, ultramarine chapter tactics (tactical, devastator etc) and still retains the old school combat tactics... That's crazy. Shame he's nearly 300pts...
