Lukas Alexander

"Cut through them men! For the Emperor!"

The newly declared planetary Governor-Militant and commander of the 1st Kronus Regiment - the Liberators. He was sent to Kronus to chase after the Eldar Farseer Taldeer, for what she did on Lorn V in a previous conflict. When he reported that his techpriests had discovered a giant cannon from an Imperator War Titan, it was then that he was named Governor-Militant of Kronus and his forces the 1st Kronus Liberators. Although he lacks the combat experience of some his older peers, his skill in battle is unquestionable. A skilled speech-giver, he is both imposing and charismatic. However, based on what was seen in a cutscene, it seems that his commissar, Anton Gebbet, does most of his dirty work.

Tactics

The Commissar is redundant in Alexander's Command Squad, as the Kasrkin Bodyguard has more health and better ranged damage, the Priest has more melee damage, and the Psyker provides useful abilities. The Commissar's morale bonus is larger than any other member's, but is still overridden by the Priest's Righteous Fury.

The Psyker has meager combat abilities but adding several to the Command Squad makes for an excellent way to quickly and conveniently use the Psyker's impressive array of abilities. In melee the Psyker's special attack does incredible disruption although the Psyker himself is too fragile to be effective as a general melee combat fighter. With the Targeting Optics Wargear, Lukas becomes a much more durable detector than the Psyker, so one must choose between the Psyker's abilities and having an extra fighting man.

The Priest provides an incredible set of bonuses for the squad (and also overrides the Commissar's and Kasrkin Bodyguard's morale bonus) and adds an impressive amount of melee damage as well. Under most circumstances adding a Priest to the command squad should be your first move. Keeping one in the squad during the late game for Fanaticism can provide the squad with enough time to use the Psyker's special abilities in an otherwise deadly environment.

The Kasrkin Bodyguard has the same stats as the normal sergeant. He provides an excellent morale and health bonus (which are overridden by the Priest) for the squad as well as carrying the impressive Hellgun for ranged combat. They make excellent companions for Psykers to lend the squad some real ranged punch. These Kasrkin require the Governor's Raiment Wargear to be added to the squad.

The first choices of wargear should be the Governor's Raiment and Victory Sash, as these give significant bonuses to the entire army and Command Squad. With these, General Alexander's Command Squad is larger than the standard issue and can be customized for either ranged or melee combat.

Abilities

Strafing Run

Due to a limit in the game engine regarding armor piercing, damage against all infantry and heavy infantry is only one third of what it should be for both the parent and children (current in-game values shown).

Strafing Run Hotkey: T

Target Types Any

Area of effect 4 per bomb Cooldown time 180 s
Effects Lukas Alexander calls down a strafing run by an overhead Vulture squadron. 32 small bombs are randomly dropped in a radius of 12 around the targeted location, damaging anything caught in the blast and throwing infantry around (20-30 force). The initial shot is different from the 31 others and does 6.25-12.5 damage to vehicle low, 25-50 damage to everything else, 25 morale damage, and has an area of effect of 7.
