The Paragon Warsuit is a new unit released on January 2021. A device that straddles the line between [[Power Armour]] and [[Battlesuit|Mecha]]. The Paragon Warsuit has garnered...well...let's just say that we have now a metric fuck ton of [[Meme]]s now.
Urgh...where the fuck do we begin with this bucket of doozy.

The thing you seeing here is the new [[Sisters of Battle]] elite unit. This abomination is the first new sister unit since 2003 and it seem to carry on the Imperium's glorious tradition of [[Derp|strapping a fucking baby carrier and pushing them onto the front lines.]] Seriously, what the fuck is up with GW's habit of giving the Imperium fucking baby carriers? First we had the [[Dreadknight]], then the [[Invictor Tactical Warsuit]] and now ''this''. Thanks to this fiasco, we can finally conclude that the design of the Dreadknight may not be [[Matt Ward]]'s fault after all, go on our [[Spiritual Liege]], you're redeemed for now on this case.

And yes we did not have a typo up there. Ask any sisters of battle player and they will tell you the sisters of battle have never been one of game workshops favored armies and have over the years received very little support. As such from the Witch Hunter codex released in 2003 the Sisters of battle have not had '''one''' totally new codex option not counting the [[Repressor]], which was forge world not base codex, or special characters. Even the 2020 release had only [[Zephyrim Squad|Zephyrim]] and [[Mortifier|Mortifiers]] as new units, and both were variants of existing units, the [[Seraphim Squad|Seraphim]] and [[Penitent Engine]] respectively. As such the Paragon Warsuit is the first 100% original, not based on any existing unit so-we-can-sell-two-unit-kits option in the sisters line up in almost two decades. . .and. . .look at it.

The funny thing is that, if GW wanted to give the sororitas some form of heavy support, they could have just gone for other, more plausible options. We do know that regular humans can don terminator armour, we have many examples of inquisitors doing just that, and considering how wealthy the Ecclesiarchy is, getting a special body of terminator-clad SoBs wouldn't be that implausible, even if they don't have the advantage of a black carapace.

Another option would be a dreadnought-like design, and while that sounds absurd at first, we have the precedent of SoB dreadnoughts from the Rogue Trader days. Hell, they wouldn't have to go that far, they could use some sort of warsuit akin to the [[Invictor Tactical Warsuit]] that functioned as a dreadnought while being piloted by a regular battle sister. . . I mean that is what the Pargon is really, it just got some design issues that made us laugh like the sister's ostrich legs and that silly little left arm.  


That said, just putting a SoB in a de facto terminator suit isn't really original now, is it? And neither would be putting her into a warsuit akin to the [[Invictor Tactical Warsuit]]. Same thing can be said about a dreadnought-like design, plus a sister would rather martyr herself on the battlefield than be put in such a shell. If you see the SoB Dready as a punishment, than it's redundant to have the [[Penitent Engine]] or the [[mortifier]] (( Both also serve a better purpose to actually repent since they a) inflict pain to the pilot and b) are so weakly armoured you have a better chance of actually dying and be absolved))
So really they would have, you know, just design the warsuit better. Additionally this is part of an annoying trend for GW to force exo-arms on something, which have always been ugly and never looked good.
And if you give it more/ thicker armour (Like seen on one picture in the gallery) the suit basicly looks like a tiny Titan, which would also be so veeery original.


So really they would have, you know, just design the warsuit better. Surly GW is capable of doing that, as demonstrated by the [[Castigator Tank]] or the Celestia Sacresant. Both designs aren't completly "new" but bring enough changes to make them look awesome.
The Paragon is ''so'' silly that even the ''Regimental Standard'' [https://regimental-standard.com/2021/06/23/5-reasons-why-a-sentinel-is-the-only-warsuit-you-really-need/ pokes fun at it], comparing it very unfavorably to the [[Sentinel]]. It says a lot that some of the [[Imperial Guard|biased]] points they make are actually legitimately valid, such as the fact that there’s no risk of dropping a Sentinel’s weapons in combat when they’re bolted to the chassis itself, and that (Armoured) Sentinel pilots have actual head protection; proving that the Paragon is so stupidly designed that not even blatant Imperial propaganda (or GW itself) can defend it.

Now, it looks stupid, but if it reaches melee, the poor idiots who failed to bring it down are quite screwed.
 
Since the grenade launcher and the mulitmelta have the SAME range, any vehicle has the potential of reciving up to 16- 22 wounds a turn (Altough you probebly need some miracle dice to pull this off). And this is '''before''' it gets into melee!
 
The paragon war mace is good for smashing vehicles and monsters with its S+4 AP -2 D3 although the -1 to hit makes this a little bit unrelieable. The paragon war sword has a better AP (-3) than the mace but it´s S bonus isn´t enough to really hurt vehicles or anything with a high T. It´s D is also by 1 point weaker than the mace, so it´s better used to slice up [[MEQ]] and with it´s additional attack it does this job very well.
 
So if you want to smash some Tanks: Go with the war mace-multi melta- grenade launcher variant, and watch the big guys bend over like the little bitches they are.
 
If [[MEQ]] are your problem: Unleash your war sword- heavy bolter- grenade launcher Paragon and enjoy throwing them down from their high horse.
 
If [[GEQ]]´s are buggering you, mow them down like weed with your war sword- heavy flamer- storm bolter variant. ((Although you could take the grenade launcher here as well, since it has higher S and DS, but than again, it doesn´t have rapid fire for more [[Dakka]] at 12")
 
As you see the storm bolter kinda takes a backseat to the grenade launcher in S and DS so it´s up to your preferences which one you use (Bear in mind though, that the grenade launcher does cost points compared to the integrated storm bolter)
 
 
Now the Paragon is not the best designed suit, but if it reaches melee, the poor idiots who failed to bring it down are quite screwed.

Revision as of 00:41, 10 February 2022

This article contains something which makes absolutely no logical sense, such as Nazi Zombie Mercenaries, Fucking Space Orangutans, anything written by a certain Irish leper or Robin Crud-ace, or Wizards of the Coast hiring the fucking Pinkertons over a children’s card game. If you proceed, consider yourself warned.
This article is about something that is considered by the overpowering majority of /tg/ to be fail.
Expect huge amounts of derp and rage, punctuated by /tg/ extracting humor from it.
Looks like the Dreadknight had a daughter the whole time.

Equipment

In terms of what these glorified flamingo walkers lug around, the Paragon Warsuit is equipped with firepower to rival a Space Marine Dreadnought. Their left arm incorporates a Heavy Bolter, Heavy Flamer, or Multi-Melta which is augmented by shoulder-mounted secondary weapons consisting of either twin Grenade Launchers or Storm Bolters. Its right arm wields a melee weapon consisting of a large Paragon War Blade or Paragon War Mace. Now, it looks stupid, but if it reaches melee, the poor idiots who failed to bring it down are quite screwed.
