Been playing around with variants of this list, seems pretty all round. Quite lore friendly. Any improvements to be made i havent spotted?

You need to max out the Dark Fury squad before you can take the two extra Choosers of the Slain

#

I think Javelin’s are heavy aren’t they? You can’t include them then.

If I'm reading it correctly by the points, those 5 Furies and 2 Choosers are additional to the base unit (i.e. It's 10 strong in total)

The Javelins restriction is a pain for this Rite - easiest thing to do is swap them for Proteuses

You also need a min of 4 units in your Auxilia detachment.

Other than that, the benefits of the Rite lean in the close combat direction (Hatred for RG units) - maybe consider swapping one or two of the Tactical squads for Despoilers or Assaults?

if im reading correctly javelins are fast.

good spot on the 4 units minimum, forgot about that.

Yes, im toying with the despoilers idea. i like that idea

Javs have the unit sub-type 'Heavy' though

#

Which means you can't take them in this army

#

It's silly, given what the thing is trying to achieve thematically, but it's one of those things where they didn't think through the implications fully

#

Another thought - if you're planning on deep striking any of the units, try and find room for a couple of Nuncio voxes for the units that start on the board

Oh what a boob, back to the drawing board

#

Just swap them for Proteuses - same role, similar armament

#

(unless it's a models-you-own limitation, of course!)

#

yup, sadly i own 6 javelins, not a single Proteuse

charred leaf Jan 24, 2023, 1:51 PM

#

Darn

#

Well, if I were your opponent I'd not care if you just ran the Javelin models as Proteuses, but then I guess you can't rely on that from everyone

You could run this list without the rite. The rite is thematic but not amazing imo

Give your Aux the Reborn Cohorts doctrine and you even get half the benefits
