Ado Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 So now that we know that if you take assassins either in a detachment or using the strat, the you can't get combat doctrines, does that make taking assassins completely obsolete? Or are their situations when an assassin/s are preferable to the combat doctrine bonuses? I bought assassin models a while back and haven't taken them out of the packaging. If they're not worth it I might as well sell and buy something that it!! Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sword Brother Adelard Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 (edited) It might depend. For instance, against an army like Salamanders, AP-1 is useless anyway, so the doctrines have less value. Was it the Culexus by any chance?

Ado Posted September 9, 2019 Author Share Posted September 9, 2019 Yep, I picked up a cullexus and an eversor as they seemed to fit with Templars theme the best! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sword Brother Adelard Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Yeah, I only finally finished my Culexus last month. Doh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Link2edition Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 They are still useful, Having 4 assassins in a list for instance might be more useful than -1 AP. If you aren't using combat doctrines you are probably getting some extra CP too by bringing allied formations.Its just another trade-off you have to consider.For me personally its a no-brainer to collect assassins as I have a lot of imperial armies. I am thinking about running Imperial Guard with a Vanguard detachment of Templar for melee support. Yeah they won't get combat doctrines, but with the other stuff in the list I may not need them.
