What is the Master of Signals for?

pulsar copper
#

Nuncio Vox for the Scorpius

carmine oasis
#

Also i wouldn't spend so many points on tacticals, instead you shouls spend that on the assault marines

pulsar copper
#

Like, boosting their numbers?

carmine oasis
#

& giving them power weapons

#

Also you could put a vox on the tacticals

pulsar copper
#

To replace the master of signals?

carmine oasis
#

& put a chappy with the Palatine Blades

carmine oasis

#

I see

#

I could probably beef the assault squad up and maybe get more sabres

carmine oasis
#

Signals is good, but there are definitely better ways to spend those points

#

I find normal assault marines don't preform all that well unless they have numbers on their side

pulsar copper
#

I see

#

Should I at least leave the rhinos on the tacticals?

carmine oasis
#

The Warden is also kind of meh, that is up to you

carmine oasis
pulsar copper
#

I need him for the Maru Skara

carmine oasis
#

Champ is better

#

& cheaper

pulsar copper
#

He goes with the termie squad in the land raider

carmine oasis
#

I figured

pulsar copper
#

Right, but it's a must have for my rite of war

carmine oasis
#

You can run the warden or a champ

pulsar copper
#

👁️👁️

#

I can?

carmine oasis
#

Yes

pulsar copper
#

You illuminated the illuminator

carmine oasis
#

Glad i could help

pulsar copper
#

Thanks a bunch!!

carmine oasis
#

We all strive for perfection

#

Np

gusty oak
#

alright lets go down the list here

#

overall this is actually not too terrible, theres a lot here I like

carmine oasis
#

Man i just went over the big points

gusty oak
#

no, fair

#

well first thing I can see is the palatines all having phoneix rapiers

#

your palatines never ALL make it to combat, between overwatch, and intercept, among other things, the first ~4 usually die before they get in

#

so id personally just not pay for the phoneix rapiers on them

pulsar copper
#

I see

gusty oak
#

also ive found sucess with 3 power axes on the palatines to just guarntee a few more licks before you go to combat resolution to keep it comfortable

#

as potoo said you probably want to change out the warden for a champ, and if you can make the tartaros squad a retinue for that sweet ws5

pulsar copper
#

Already did

pulsar copper
gusty oak
#

oh perfect I missed that then

gusty oak
#

thats what ive been running for the past few months

pulsar copper
#

Ooh alright

#

What are your thoughts on my motorised infantry?

gusty oak
#

albeit my list is strapped for points, so I agknowlege theres room for more rapiers in the squad

gusty oak
pulsar copper
#

Noted

gusty oak
#

theyre not gonna do a whole lot, but they dont really need to

#

you already have your bases covered, they just sit on the midfield and pop those potshots into anything

pulsar copper
#

So I do away with the three rhinos?

gusty oak
#

while your assault marines just go on the flank and jump on a tactical squad. Which btw if you can spare the points, id put 2 maces each on the assaults to help them do just that

gusty oak
pulsar copper
#

Gotta go fast

gusty oak
#

I love rhinos as mobile terrain pieces, that just force your opponents to deal with them

pulsar copper
#

Indeed

#

I once had to face two leviathans and my rhino trend started there

#

You can just park them and, oops, looks like you either make a difficult terrain piece or go around m8

gusty oak
#

yep just that

#

lets you pick your battles in just about everything

pulsar copper
#

With your inputs I shall finish a polished list

#

Thanks to both

#

Also, my palatine prefector has no shriekers because he's going with the praetor

gusty oak
#

ah fair forgot about that

pulsar copper
#

:]
