Vostroyan Stratagem on Squadrons?


Doof

Recommended Posts

It was recently pointed out to me the wording of the Vostroyan Stratagem "Firstborn Pride" says select a "Unit" and give it +1 to hit. A squadron of Leman Russes is a Unit, so therefore if i use my once per turn stratagem i will be getting the most bang for my buck by suddenly having 3 More BS3 tanks! Does anyone think that this an incorrect reading of this rule? Squadrons suffer from moral do they not?

 

I would like to capitalize on my army's abilities, so things like 42 inch plasma cannons and Hvy Bolters, 30" multimeltas and Demolisher Cannons. What are the best loadouts for a squadron to utilize this?

 

This thinking also has me re-analyzing my lists, i need to take multiple squadrons (russes + basilisks or hydras) so as i have multiple highly effective targets for the best stratagem across all of the Astra Militarum. In a pinch i can also combine this stratagem with consolidate squads and create a 20 man squad (60 man if i had 2 conscript blobs next to each other) to further maximize.

 

After double Checking the codex, Squadrons operate as separate units once placed, so disregard

Tanks function as separate units once deployed. However....Armored and Scout Sentinels bought as a squadron do not, and continue to move and act as a unit. They can even technically fail moral tests and flee combat if they lose a couple models and there are other - moral modifiers nearby. Thus, the Vostroyan strat could be used on a 3 sentinel squad to buff all of their BS.
