2020 Black Tide 2k

I picked up another indomitus set so I thought it was time to try a Primaris force. I really think upgrading the bladeguard ancient to a chapter ancient is a hidden gem.

The list looks solid to me. Why do you like the Chapter Ancient upgrade so much - is it because of access to ObSec via Steadfast Example? The Bladeguard Ancient already gives multiple Bladeguard units +1 to hit, but I suppose maybe the Chapter Banner ability allows you to give a non-Bladeguard unit +1 to hit on top of that? Alternatively you could save the 20pts from the upgrade and just give him Rites of Battle directly, which also grants ObSec.

Rite of battle is actually a little worse, as it only gives obsec to units that don't already have it. Steadfast example does that, but in addition it makes all your troops count double for obsec.

 

And yeah I like having the option to give the vanguard a +1 before they charge in
