...or how I learned to stop worrying and love the Vindicator Why there is almost no talk here or the lapdogs ( :P ) forum about this stratagem and how it makes Vindicators a lot better? Well, I admit I still have to try them out but on paper they seem great! The BIG problem with Vindicators is relatively short range, meaning it usually needs at last at last one turn of movement to shoot where is needed. Spending one CP offsets this problem and grant you a very powerful attack, meaning you can move forward 10" and shoot with no penalty (the wording seems very permissive, as I see no limitation on the fact that the 3 Vinidicators should be able to shoot or not...but let us take the rules as if they should, it still seems very good to me) to an effective range of 34 (plus 3") Even if one (or all!) of the vindicators has only one wound left, the LB stratagem is still at full power 3" range is a 6" plate! With almost all auras having 6" this grants at least one unit+character "hit". 4+ or even 5+ are not a bad place to spend another CP for a reroll (bringing the 5+ hit to a 55% of probability)... you also force the enemy to spread out for pure fear and I see this as another advantage, as massed Imperial guards artillery tanks formation massively benefits from cover los blocking terrain... Also you have to see the point, not your target, so you can shoot something behind a wall, if said wall is less then 3" tick... So, it seems to me awesome on paper...anyone have tested it on the table?

Gang, The Cheat Sheets that I shared earlier for Grey Knights here, and for the Space Wolves over on the subforum for The Fang had too much information on them. So, instead of providing the actual rules, here is a link to a mostly blank Example Cheat Sheet Format that you can fill in on your own to use. All you need to do is go through your Codex and The Ritual of the Damned (as well as the Rulebook, if you wish to get all of the them) and add in the relevant information from any Stratagems that you want to have at your fingertips during a game. You'll see in the Example Cheat Sheet how I have the rows sorted by Timing, so you can quickly access the information about the Stratagems as you flow through the game; I found this to be the most useful technique. So, this will take just a few minutes of work on your part to make a copy of the format and fill in with whatever information you wish. For my purposes, I printed off the Cheat Sheet (once filled in) and slipped into the back laminate area on the outside cover of a 3-ring binder. Inside the binder is my army list, special rules, psychic powers, and all of my unit data sheets, inside document protectors. I don't have to carry the actual codex, but have all of the rules that I need readily at hand. Enjoy, Val
