It's my one fatal flaw in using meph is that I'll send him headlong into glorious single combat, only to forget I charged my Sanguinary Guard into a unit that would wipe them out when my opponent has CP for counter attack @___@" I've done this more times that I care to admit and essentially throw away 145 points of beatstick for no return.

I like the guys, Ive been running them in concert with my 3x whirlwinds since the beginning of the year. Here's why though, they don't operate well enough that they draw all of the enemy's agro, but they'll do something every turn. And even if my opponent turns around and punts them off the board, I'm more than okay to see those 180 points go if they're not focused on my actually killy stuff

The chappy buff only applies to the shooting phase, so the only way to get a 5+ exploding hits with the strat is with FotF. Although with exhortation of rage and the exploding 6+, your 6's will double explode! As far as the strat is concerned, you could multicharge a 10 man chaff squad and then use the extra attack to pop the elite unit standing behind it.

Reroll hits has pretty much killed the effectiveness of a lone -1 to hit and a shroud will still fold easily even with its 4++, for your money you're probably better off taking a LSV to pump up the offense

Hey, maybe when we get a 2.0 dex we'll get a totally updated line and either access to character upgrades or they'll release a primaris saphron model.

It's not like aura of dread was the best rule anyway. nothing lost nothing gained, its a shame that they overlooked making IC's worth taking.

I love it, hell I'd get a tattoo of that 3spook skeleton

It says they count as not having moved in the movement phase. Grim resolve says that if they didn't move, they fire with reroll 1s. I would think it applies. The stratagem makes no distinction at all, making it only applicable for the purposes of bolter drill, that I can see in the text. err I think you're mistaken friend, here's the strat almost word for word (1cp) Steady advance ...Until the end of the phase, for the purposes of the bolter discipline ability, that unit is treated as if it had remained stationary. This strat is purely so that you can move and still rapid fire bolter weapons, it mentions no other weaponry besides. I hope you didn't get a misprint! Our dedicated chaplain power, however, states that models can shoot with any weapons as if they had remained stationary, being able to benefit from grim resolve and/or bolter discipline.

Berzul I think steady advance is only for the purposes of bolter drill. Outside of the chaplain bubble, I don't think there's a way to deepstrike and get grim resolve.

I've been thinking on a combo that might be pretty sneaky. You take an ravenwing apocthecary and give him the grenade launcher, master crafted it. Give him the warlord trait huntsman. Now your potentially doing d3+1 damage to characters (most important ones have a 4+ inuln anyways) or you have the option of actually using stasis shells to put d3 mortals on a character!

Good choice as he's busted as heck

I wonder if we'll get a chapter tactic+? I wouldn't put it out of the realm of possibility considering red thirst got an update. Maybe we'll get the "no overheat on 1's we've always wanted

Also, guess who has both the ravenwing and biker keywords? Ya boy Sammy on Corvex of course! Kickflip over a screen and bring down 10x doubleshooting Deathwing and then yeet whatever was in front of you.

Hey, give a smash cap deathwing keyword and the +1 str and attacks relic. Also the always on transhuman phys WL trait

I'm gonna grab another LSV along with 4x Landspeeder Typhoons. Speeder Squad! I'm still holding out for them to differentiate Interrogator Chaplains somehow, I suppose I'll have to wait for youtubers to do their reviews.
