SM Allies Research

[Riggs]

Brothers! I know we have a thread about SM allies already, but I thought I'd make one for anyone whos bought the book and has found good combinations for us. 

 

For example Shadow Captain Shrike...... Now he can only join jump infantry (well we got plenty of that). He gives them stealth( Meh? cool I guess), Infiltrate(Hmmmm interesting) and fear (could come in handy every so often maybe?). Now Think of this : Death Co(with jp of course) + him + lem or a jp chappy(depending on how pressed for points you are).

 

Yes. Thats right brothers.

 

Turn 1 assault with our men in black against key targets.

 

For the ones who didn't get the light bulb. Infiltrate 18" (12" if you got good terrain setup) near enemy key units. If you won initiative, move 12", 6" assault.

Units that deploy via infiltrate may not assault turn 1 (brb. 38)

Remember, that's player turn one, not game turn one.

 

If you go second, and can weather the storm of firepower, you get to charge in your first turn.

 

Shrike's Stealth should also carry forward onto the death company, if you can put them in a midfield ruin they get a 3+ cover. Alternatively, a bastion/aegis that you deployed in the centre of the board.
