Rhino for HSS is a bad idea given they have to start deployed inside

Justaerin aren’t a retinue with flag?
That Cataphractii centurion isn’t doing anything for you
spice ember
Justaerin aren’t a retinue with flag?
What does it being a retinue give me?
spice ember
Okay and you think no rhino for the lascannon squad?
onyx lily
They have long range and really you just need to deploy them somewhere that they'll be able to shoot things with and they'll probably never move
spice ember
Gotcha
onyx lily
So no need for a rhino
spice ember
Okay cool
onyx lily
I echo the Justaerin being made a retinue and giving one of them a standard
Tbh I would make the Praetor Cataphractii give him the Justaerin as a Retinue
spice ember
What is a legion standard anyhow?
onyx lily
Who is the chaplain going to?
spice ember
Like physically on the model
spice ember
Who is the chaplain going to?
I was thinking about having chaplain praetor and justaerin together
cloud shadow
Very nice
spice ember
Does that come in a cataphractii terminator box
onyx lily
Unfortunately not
spice ember
😅🔫
cloud shadow
So the the Chaplain can't join the Justaerin unless he is a Cataphractii too
He can
cloud shadow
Yeah, there is absolutely nothing preventing him from doing so
onyx lily
Interesting. Clearly I'm mixing that up with 40k
spice ember
So that’s a good way to go then?
onyx lily
I'd say so Chaplain, Praetor with Justaerin, one of them with standard, in a Spartan, that would be naughty
Obviously the standard gives you Line which lets you score objectives
cloud shadow
I’d still recommend dropping the base Cataphractii centurion but that’s to taste. He won’t be doing much/anything
onyx lily
Give the tactical squad Sergeants artificer
Maybe give some a power weapon
Possibly a Plasma pistol if you're feeling a bit spicy
You could split one of the big tactical squads and give them a Rhino each
That would leave you with 30pts left

Unfortunately I already built them irl in a way I can’t do that anymore
And I really want to run them as 20s, I had a lot of fun with it in my last game
onyx lily
No worries
cloud shadow
Hell yeah, blobs are fun. I’d do a MoS in with the lascannons
onyx lily
And well all the other things
Yh
My Reaver list has 10 Lascannons with a MoS
For example
spice ember
The MoS brings me to exactly 2999
onyx lily
spice ember
No upgrades tho
onyx lily
He doesn't need any
spice ember
But I think he’ll just be chillin with the lascannon homies
I’m really excited to try this list now
onyx lily
His job is to exist and do lots of abilities whilst being attached to your Lascannon squad
Exactly
spice ember
I’m hype
onyx lily
Shaping up nicely
spice ember
You don’t think this list will be unfun to play against or anything
It feels tame but not meta or anything which is what I want
cloud shadow
Yeah, it’s fine
Lots of eggs in one basket which is just something to keep in mind when playing
onyx lily
The Justaerin is pretty strong
spice ember
That makes sense
onyx lily
Lots of eggs in one basket which is just something to keep in mind when playing
Yh like you have three scoring units, 2 are tacticals and 1 is the Justaerin.
Justaerin will probably be fine, but if something devastating is able to hit the tacts and wipe them/rout them, you'll lose a scoring unit. The reason a lot of people aren't fans of blobs usually boils down to it's easier to hide a smaller squad on an objective, they are harder to shoot/charge and you have better flexibility. It also means your opponent has to fire at many different units rather than one or two.
I think you should stick to them in 20's, because you like that. But obviously in 4's that's 5 scoring units (which is arguably probably too much).
It's just worth keeping in mind what the pitfalls are.

Like if you’re trying to optimize I would run 15 man with those apothecaries and try to find room for a nemesis recon squad but this is a good start
spice ember
Like if you’re trying to optimize I would run 15 man with those apothecaries and...
I don’t hate that idea
cloud shadow
Yeah best advice is to just start playing games and see what works for you, what you like and what you don’t
