L30n1d4s Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 For the shooty "base" of a GK army, has anyone out there used an Aegis Defense Line combined with a Librarian and The Shrouding? Basically gives a 3+ cover save to any units inside the ADL: i.e. henchmen, Psyflemen, etc., making them substantially sturdier/more surviveable. Anyone use this so far?

spartan249 Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 It's a good tactic for earth/fire armies to use. Most don't bother doing that though, don't know why.

Reclusiarch Darius Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Librarian is an expensive character, he pays for being both supportive and having decent combat stats. Camping him in your backline for 3+ cover is nice but a little wasteful. Aegis line is great for gun-line lists, specifically for hiding shooty Henchmen or long-range Allied units behind. Knights though are a mid-field army so most of our units don't wanna hide all the way back in the DZ, we wanna advance somewhat before firing.

ValourousHeart Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Can't you do the same with a techmarine, without having to roll for it each turn or have him camp out there.

jeffersonian000 Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Unfortunately, Techmarines can only bolster ruins, not barricades.
