Welcome to the Unit of the Week Series! Each week a different unit will be highlighted for discussion until we have amalgamated a full list of our available options and their relevant tactics as 9th edition evolves. This will include not only matched play, but free play considerations as well as Crusade, as these methods of play are just as relevant and exciting. Please keep in mind this isn't to lament the status of featured units or compare them to others but to try and find their potential for all types of gameplay.

Are 10-man squads useful with our current iteration of Reanimation Protocols, especially when combined with a Ghost Ark, or are 20-man phalanxes our best bet? Which dynastic code do you think works best for Warriors? Which weapon option is your preferred method of gauss annihilation? How do you use this unit in your listbuilding process? What are overall strengths and weakness of this unit? Which stratagems synergize well with this unit? Which specific Crusade benefits best suit this unit? The floor is yours, honored Nobles and Crypteks!

This week’s units (yes, plural!) are: The Offense Crypteks We will be looking at the Plasmancer and the Psychomancer this week.
