Purgation squad weapons costs


Drachnon

Recommended Posts

I'm not sure if the scans I've seen are the final product but it seems to me that purgation squads have a different order of point costs compared to strike squads and interception squads. Where with the others from cheapest to most expensive is Psilencer, Psycannon, incinerator the purgation squad has: Incinerator, Psilencer, Psycannon.

 

Can anyone confirm if this is correct?

Yep that's correct.

That's actually not correct. For the Purifiers the incinerator is cheapest. For Interceptors it is the most expensive. So it all depends.

its mainly for balance reasosons

note that 10 purifiers with 4 psycannons and 10 purgation with 4 psycannons is the same cost

 

Yep, the cost is balanced against utility in the unit. Incinerators aren't as useful or dangerous in a Purgation squad as Psycannon with Astral Aim would be. Purgation squads have no special inherent mobility to get Incinerators into range. However, Strike and Interceptor squads can Deep Strike (and Interceptors are Jump Infantry with the 30"Shunt). This extra mobility makes an Incinerator much more dangerous in their hands, so they are priced accordingly.
