Prot Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 So I've been over the Death Masque supplement a few times and this might sound a bit crazy, but has anyone thought of playing with Squad Donatus for an ObSec choice in a CAD? If I recall, the squads, the Dread, and Artemis can all be opted in for a force org slot in a CAD or requirement in a Black Spear (please correct me if I read this wrong). So I actually don't mind the load out of Squad Donatus: Without breaking any rules here, the total points cost of a Veteran squad WITH this loadout would be 175 points. So Vael Donatus: Vet w/Precision fire Bolter (not bad... why not? A no cover or poisoned round that could take out a special weapon/character? ) Dren: Double armed, Counter-attack Ennox: Combi-melta, Feel No Pain Rodricus: Frag Cannon Zameon: Plasma Pistol, Power Sword, Stubborn. So Squad Donatus is the same cost as buying this stuff separately except you get all the special rules basically free. It's not a terrible loadout. A touch on the beefy side perhaps, but you get a squad that actually makes sense for once, and 3 special rules. Ennox can perhaps even tank for the squad a bit, and you may get lucky with the Precision Bolter shots on an enemy special weapon. Counter Attack is not that bad, and again it's all free. I haven't looked at squad Crull but it's about 205 I think. Anyone try this yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vel'Cona Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 You lose Mission Tactics, though. That's enough for me to put them aside permanently. Also, no built-in transport options means you can't get an ObjSec transport for them. Ew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
