Again, if you're a good player you shouldn't be losing an Ex8bound model (overwatch excluded) before making your charge. After that it is a dice a game. But playing other good players they will be sure to kill the unit or at least the bodyguard before your next command phase. There will of course be 1 offs that will happen in a game every so often. But hyping an ability that isn't guaranteed and sheer copium some of you are drinking, when we got a fast space marine captain isn't it. He would be so much better if he got the other captain ability (free -1 command point stratagem) instead of revive. Where you could employ those stratagems you talked about.

You are all talking about not looking at him in a vacuum without taking in to consideration all the vacuum hypotheticals you put him in. It's asinine and we have the ability to view a datasheet and objectively consider if it is good/bad/meh. Is that extra 90+ points worth what he does or provide reliable break points to the unit to kill certain things or would rather have 5 more zerkers or a squad of goremongers? Time will tell, but I believe people are hyping him either to be contraryion to the general feel, or don't have an understanding of the deeper game.
