which cohort is this?

dark wolf
#

Probably Reborn; I think
Nothing else seemed applicable

spring stirrup
#

i think 3 line units of 10 is on the lower end for amount of line

#

i would choose the solar cohort so all your veletaris get line

dark wolf
#

That's an easy swap to do!

spring stirrup
#

i would also buy that special flag for you command squad

the one that gives line

#

i personally would change one of the veletaris storm squads into a vanguard with rotor cannons

but the models do require a little more work since they cant be built out of the box

dark wolf
#

Oh I didn't see flags in the new recruit must have missed it

#

What the 20 rotor cannons doing? Maybe I'm misunderstanding their value

spring stirrup
#

cost the same but have longer range and pinning with shellshock 1

#

lower strenght but also double the amount of shots

#

and it also just provides more variety in your weapons which is good since different weapons fit different situations

dark wolf
#

Everything about them seems good
The pinning just holds me up
Aren't SM elite units like leadership 9?
So they'd make a leadership check at an 8 for pinning
Passing on a 72% chance?

spring stirrup
#

they are more for bullying normal guys

most SM elite units have a 2+ armour save which means that the veletaris shooting is kinda wasted on them

dark wolf
#

That's also a good point

spring stirrup
#

use them to bully 3+ armour save marines which usually have leadership 8

#

and then nightfighting which also gives -1

#

but pinning is more just a bonus

dark wolf
#

Yeah fair enough actually, that makes sense

spring stirrup
#

it isnt something you should really build your strategy around

dark wolf
#

But a 180p swap for some utility probably is pretty fine

spring stirrup
#

what do you mean by 180p swap?

#

just changing the units out?

dark wolf
#

It sucks the plasma squad costs a premium, and melta is probably just way too much

#

And yeah just switching the squad is what I meant **

spring stirrup
#

the command squad is very expensive because the companions squads are very cheap

dark wolf
#

I do find like the sub squads in units a little confusing

spring stirrup
#

if it were me i would get a 10 man companion squad and move the plasmaguns to them

#

having your warlord be in your most threatening unit in solar is dangerous

they arent durable enough to survive proper focus fire

#

and then your opponent both removes your biggest threat and gets slay the warlord

dark wolf
#

Ah where would the warlord chill normally?

spring stirrup
#

i would just use a normal command squad without the plasmaguns

#

they arent really threatening but can still kill dreads in melee beacuse of full meltabombs

#

but to be 100% honest the best option for the solar warlord is just to stand in a corner with a command vox

#

but that is boring

dark wolf
#

So the auxilia companions I have right now are not the right ones?

spring stirrup
dark wolf
#

OH!

spring stirrup
#

it isnt a huge difference but they are like 45 points cheaper

#

and the only difference is that they cant take command vox or the flag

and they lose their seargent
