Potential for unit count abuse?

[Kastor Krieg]

Here's an idea - three unit choices (Vang Vets, Bikers, Termies) have minimum unit size of _1_.

Two formations have minimum status of Watch Cap / Chaplain / Lib + 1 unit of _1_ model. Essentially, cheap HQ + 1 model.

Spam that and watch the opponent spend 5 units' worth of shooting to kill 5 Vanguard about to wreck face with LC/LC or two handed TH. Or those SEPARATE Termies, who are so easy to Deep Strike now. What, each has TH/SS? How sad.

Of course, the droppod 8 shots of Assault mini-lascannons (2nd frag cannon profile, S9 AP2, Assault 2) own everything, if you feel you need to pay the tax of 1 unit of Veterans in a Pod

It can work well... As long as the mission doesn't involve kill points. Hahahaha

They are easy to deep strike in BSSF. You can only take these '1 man' units in CAD, and even then in not really scary amounts. So that's kind of out. What formation you're talking about? As far as I see, all require Veterans, which are 5 men minimum.

 

Also, LC are completely obsolete in DW due to rerolls. PW+Pistol is better.

[Spinsanity]

As Irbis has said, no formation exists where you can take just 1 model in addition to a character.

 

All KillTeams are made up of :

- A vet squad + more guys

- A KillTeam (of 1 vet squad + more) + more guys

 

Only way to take 1-2 man squads is in a CAD

Ah, OK, I didn't get how they stick the units together into one blob with the Kill Team rule.

Still, go Unbound and go to town
