Brother Raul Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Hi guys, quick question. Given that we dont have a lot of negate cover attacks in our lists been thinking about lotd. They seem a good fit given our reserve mainpulation from mulitple HQs or focs. Seems to tick a few boxes; target saturation, deny cover, cheapish, alpha strike, distraction unit. Think they kinda do a fragioso's role better. Now if you agree allies or elite? Iam leaning to elite. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolemai Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Not sure I follow you. LotD either fill the only allied FOC Elites choice for C:SM allies or, come in their own formation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesI Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 They are a separate detachment, so Legion can't be used to fulfill the mandatory elites in the Baal strike force. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaz431 Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Use them as an allied force. As an allied force, you can use them with any imperium army opening more options for use in the game. Legion are a very specific scalpel. As an allied formation, they may all deep onto objectives or near high value kill targets. I have mine built for various tasks. One squad 3xfire. One 3xplasma. One 3xmelta. 4th is utility. Against bugs, great synapse killers. Against Eldar, great anti-wave. Against orks, anti-horde. Ignoring cover saves is huge. Jink? I think not buddy. Scalpel. If you opponent has trouble with how you use them get him a copy of Milton Bradley's Operation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jolemai Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 When using their standalone Codex, a squad of LotD form a detachment known as a LotD detachment. You can have as many of these as you wish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolemai Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 If using C:SM Allied detachment, then you can take one squad of LotD for the single Elites' choice. You can have as many Allied detachments as you wish. ... I also have no manners. Welcome to B&C :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Raul Posted January 27, 2015 Author Share Posted January 27, 2015 Thanks for the clarification on both allies & foc and lotd for BA Jolemi. Also thanks for the welcome too, 1st forum ive ever joined; have been following BA threads killing time till the new dex dropped and think this is the best community of BA player online. What are your thoughts on Lotd? Situational or winner? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Raul Posted January 27, 2015 Author Share Posted January 27, 2015 Thanks too spaz for your response, you have much luck with them? Are they an auto include for you? How would you roll with 1000 pt game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaz431 Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 In a 1000 point, I suggest possibly just a 5man plasmacide or meltacide for 160 or 155, respectively. Rescatter, then relentless, is a massive boon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toomanyprojects Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Another point is that you can field an inbound army, thereby allowing you to field whatever you wish. You lose objective secured and a warlord trait reroll tho This is how I field lotd in my fleshtearers army :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
