Hunter Gaurdsmen.

[DaDa]

I was thinking, does somebody know if you could use SotH character with a Gaurdsmen platoon (40 guys flankcharging)

 

and if you can would it work or would it make no sense?

 

ideas?

Since you can't charge on the turn that you arrive, you'd be better off taking Al'Rahim to let a whole platoon outflank, and pair of Rune Priests. Then your blob walks on, Al throws down a Front Rank Fire against the priest's Ld10, and stuff gets murdered. On subsequent turns, you load the blob with Prescience and whatever else you get from Divination, either use "Like the Wind" to maneuver and fire, or just keep spamming FRF. If you load the squad with plasma guns, you'll do some serious damage with a Prescience and a Perfect Timing. If you get Foreboding, you guarantee that you're going to get to gun down a chaff unit with Overwatch fire every time you get assaulted.

 

It's not cheap, but it is brutal.

It would imo. make sense (after all if a heavily armed and armoured post-human warrior can stalk someone I'm sure 40 odd elite human soldiers can) - plus it gives that feel of a small elite group (akin to Commandoes) surging out from behind enemy lines to catch the rearguard unawares and though outnumbered take the fight to them with bravery, courage and a complete disregard for personal safety. :D

 

As per rules iirc. it's legal ;)

Its still a power armour board only

 

So try to keep this close to the SW as we can
