How to play Heinrix in Warhammer 40k Rogue Trader

Heinrix is somewhat similar to Abelard in the sense that they are both warriors. The main difference in playing style is that, while Abelard plays like a tank (parrying and soaking up damage), Heinrix relies more on pure damage output while dodging out of the way of danger.

Like Abelard, Heinirx should be positioned at the vanguard of your force, as his primary role is a melee fighter. Besides taking the brunt of the enemy attacks and drawing the enemy’s attention away as the most immediate target, he should also have an easier time using his Charge ability. The best way to describe his positioning is to treat him like Abelard but not play him as aggressively.

Upgrade his ultimate (Daring Breach) whenever you can. Heinrix will benefit mostly from additional movement points, which allow him to reach the targets much more quickly. You want to play him like an independent agent, zooming across the battlefield while taking out high-priority targets quickly.
