=========================================================

(the retinue units are a 2x and 3x saturnine command squad unit, all wit 2x fists and with a single legion standard, just that they dont have rules for it yet on the app)

Main list idea was to test the efficacy of multiple squads outside of a primarch bodyguard role, so running it as 3x in one land raider and 2x+praetor in another

figure that between an MOS for line/vanguard, a 20 man interdiction cadre to pop up somewhere inconvenient, and 20x breachers + 10x tacticals scoring shouldn't be a problem

Offensive wise the command squads can punch up into anything ranging from normal marines to terminator units thanks to good melee + evil flamers, and my AT would be rapiers and a melta auspex kratos to pop AV14, though I worry that I may be a bit light on that

Still got another 210 points with an open heavy assault squad, open command slot, and open logi support through the retinue, plus I could scrap interdiction for another logi support if anyone has good ideas

I’m thinking the main idea for this may be something like a punisher sicarian, Grav arquitor, or a fire raptor

All give me status support and a toy to play with

Be interesting to see how the saturnine perform.

[fluid mulch]

ive been busy as fuck so I probably wont be able to test it for a while

but from my sample size of 1 game, its quite a solid base

they're pretty dang points efficent, and pack a ton of hurt

they can mulch any 3+ save unit on virtue of their flamers, and only massed PF can really hurt them

and if you abuse the WS shenangins you can make other command squads really stuggle to dent them

[open iron]

Yeah I want to test a unit out paired with Ultramarine suzerains…assuming I have time at some point

Also waiting for folks to come out with STLs for right hand power fists

I’ve just been using Sgt powerfists
