Hi gang, looking forward to giving the news rules a go with this list - I can fit all my infantry into DS with the rite, leaving the Leviathan and Contemptors on the ground. Contemptors handle vehicles, the support squad takes out terminators and the command squad hopefully kills whatever I throw it at - have I missed anything?

Master of signals cripples both enemy and your DS

#

would seriously consider adding a chaplain for hatred and stubborn for the command squad and for a LD 10 psyker

So he does

Wow

#

What a dud unit, what were they thinking there?

yeah you can either keep the MoS and only DS one big unit, scrap it and live very dangerously or swap in a Command Rhino or Explorator which burns a lot of points.

#

You would need the MoS on the board to get the reroll, so he'd need a bodyguard (he's good in a shooting unit)
You don't actually need GoTCK to DS the jump pack unit, tbh i'm not sure the rest of your units benefit hugely either. DS works best with big units that can spread out, and slow/fragile units that need to get super close, like assault vets, terminators and meltaguns.

Current thinking is I'll swap the MoS out for a scout squad with nemesis bolters - the command squad, apothecary and praetor are already more than a quarter of my points

#

...yeah, you might be right there, hahah

#

Keep in mind the Apothacary doesn't actually get any psykic disciplines

#

and he can't be joined to a command squad, but he can be good in a tactical squad

@vague owl sadly you need to commit to a drop pod row to get cheap pods.
