Description

A build formed for the sake of variety, I thought 'hay, I can make the heavy sword work on Zealot, and while I don't think it would work very well on Psyker given their paper thin frame, why not make a build for the veteran?'. And well, it works quit well with them in fact! Which is rather nice, cause holy heck I was getting bored with the Duelling sword/Power Sword OP duo.

But this is a nice change of pace! Still clears out fodder like a champ, but has me swapping to my Revolver to deal with any armor or anything larger. It's rather nice in that regard, along with running around with a smoke grenade to keep things in melee. This build is meant to maximize the Heavy Sword, so as it it's not the most headshot heavy thing, I decided to be 'interesting' and have at least one build where I put a bunch of points into Focus Target.

Normally I'm rather selfish with my Talents, but this build lets me not be, since the whole left side of the tree isn't all that interesting when I'm trying to slash most things (and the Revolver two shots a crusher with or without the extra weakspot damage). So to that end, and partly due to not having the greatest effectiveness against monstrosities, I put all the points possible into focus target.

And it works quite well! The extra base damage helps the heavy sword out a lot, while you also help your team with constant toughness procs on top of Voice of Command. It all works rather well, and is a nice 'supportive commander' build for those inclined. An enjoyable niche to me.
