CornishMike Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 Has anyone had any success mixing TSons with CSM? I’m thinking of black company for myself... Using raptors to give some much needed speed as I don’t want to play with goats right now, and some bolter marines on DZ objectives Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quixus Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 I have not tried it myself but I think an Iron Warriors Lord with JP and Fleshmetal Exoskeleton and three Obliterators units would give us a bit of needed anti tank (and more deep strike options), Replace the Lord with a DP if you have the points. As objective sitters I think CSM are too expensive. Cultists could do a similar job and do not require a separate detachment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshlands Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 Unless you have a specific reason (e.g. to unlock tide of traitors) its probably not necessary. They dont hurt working together though so if you want raptors... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Yncarne Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 With the recent change to deep strike, I’ve dropped my idea of a raptor detachment. I’m still considering an obliterator detachment, but have no idea where I’m going to find the points. Unless you’re playing with cultists and goats, points are at a premium in this codex.

Quixus Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 Think about using the whole happy dysfunctional family: Daemon Battalion: Horrors 1k Sons Battalion: Sorcerers and rubrics etc. CSM Spearhead: Obliterators All possible in 2000 pts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CornishMike Posted June 18, 2018 Author Share Posted June 18, 2018 Fair comments but we appear to have moved away from speed to anti tank :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quixus Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 Raptors just aren't that great, and the new deep strike rule removes one the advantage that Warp Talons had. But I guess you do't want to use Goat Shamans/Enlightened/Skyfires, so you don't have much choice but to go CSM. Maybe look at the bikers as well.

Marshlands Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 Enlighted a daemon prince or even magnus are way better for speed. Basically anything thats already fast + warptime. If youre looking at CSM best speed now is probably vanguarding alpha legion units Things that deep strike (i.e. raptors) can be oddly slower post faq than things that start on the board Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Yncarne Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 I didn’t realize this was a thread about speed. I must have missed that in the OP. Sorry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
