Why do both magos have Rad furnaces?
olive peak
Because they are going into the 2 Castellax squads
waxen flax
Not strictly necessary as castellax will be wounding most things on 2s anyways.
olive peak
Ah so worth removing?
waxen flax
Rad furnaces are more so your magos don't get debufs for sitting inside echidnax and scyllax

Ah so worth removing?
Personally I think it's 40pts better spent elsewhere.

Rad furnaces are more so your magos don't get debufs for sitting inside echidnax...
So I should put a rad on my tech priest as it's going onto the echidnax
Oh wait I can't lol
Should I reverse it have a Magos with the Echindax and a priest with the castellax
waxen flax
Yeah technically priests can't have it, so either suffer the debuff or use a magos with one instead
I'll be blunt, I won't tell you want you should do, but I'll mention things that may not work the way you imagined.
I don't like to write lists for people basically, otherwise I'd just hand you my own and be done with it lol. Which would be shit for both of us.
Automata aren't affected by Rad furnaces, and I think there's some other exceptions too
Ignore me, those with the cybernetica trait are unaffected by Rad furnaces. @olive peak
So yes, a priest can go inside them.
I should probably check it echidnax have them too tbh
olive peak
Thanks
Ok with one rad furnace gone (because the other magos will be with echidnax now) what would suggest I do with the 20 points
Could give Melta to the champion and vet sergeant

Honestly, I think others need to give feedback too, because I think your playstyle is different to mine, so my suggestions may not work for you
olive peak
I haven't played once yet I have no idea of my playstyle I'm just going by rule of cool

I haven't played once yet I have no idea of my playstyle I'm just going by rule ...
That's fair, I've been I the hobby a while now, and have always been a fluff gamer. So I concept an idea, develop it and write an army based on the theme of it all
olive peak
As a fist at heart I like running a lot of big heavy models
waxen flax
In what way?
olive peak
Like tanks, dreadnought like stuff, terminator like stuff, big models
I realise I don't have tanks in my list
waxen flax
It's not uncommon to not take them for mech as automata are strong, but our vehicles are great too
I choose to not use them for theme mostly, but Karacnos are great for support fire out of LoS so long as a few Cognis Signum exist to provide LoS for the Karacnos. And the Krios with Lightning Cannon is great for anti tactical use
olive peak
Would you suggest I take some vehicles, and if so what would you remove for it?
waxen flax
That's something I won't do, as mentioned before. I'll happily point put conflicts of wargear and mention unit sizes being too low etc, but I won't tell you want to take or what to remove, as that for me, feels like I'm building your army for you.
olive peak
True, fair enough actually
I actually think I like that more than telling me what to take or remove
waxen flax
It's just something I've experienced over the years and what I prefer myself. I think you learn more that way too
olive peak
I agree
I think I'm gonna wait until I get the rulebook before I set in stone my list
waxen flax
Learn some of the basics, then go from there. A lot of fhe core rules make more sense with playing tbh, because of gws word salad.
But this edition requires two things to build around; Scoring and Tactical Statuses.
For mech, a third is needed in Cybertheurgic Statuses.
olive peak
Alrighty

Any questions, just ask. Happy to help if I can
