Brendaen Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 I sold my Orge Kingdom army (I've given up on WHFB), so sitting on my hobby desk is 4 Tauroxes and enough models to build 29 Scions. So my question is; Command squad and 3 units of eight and they each have a ride. or Command squad and 4 units of six and I deep strike a unit. And yes, you guys won me over on the Taurox Prime.....

Ulrik_Ironfist Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 I like 8 man squads, they don't break as fast and they put down more firepower at their target. Increased volume of fire is a good thing, especially when using something like Suppression Fire Doctrine Sanctioned! Where you need more shots to bring down those MC's and skimmers. Ultimately it's your decision. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/308370-scion-unit-size/#findComment-4062425 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Depends on what you need, but I'd say a drop unit of 5 is good but for "line" units eight is a solid number. For starting out (because I know you'll get more Scions ;) ) I'd go the four units of six and then stock up on numbers later :) When do we get to see some progress on them Bren? I'm looking forward to it :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/308370-scion-unit-size/#findComment-4062534 Share on other sites More sharing options...
captain sox Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 The easy answer: You need more Scions.... http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/303921-the-scion-army-cometh-now-with-more-scions/page-3 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/308370-scion-unit-size/#findComment-4063313 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brendaen Posted May 29, 2015 Author Share Posted May 29, 2015 I think I will stick with 3 units of eight. They will go nicely with my Mechanized Veteran list that I plan on allying it with. I will start a WIP thread this weekend for the 67 Division Special Forces detachment. I have been diagnosed with 40k Model ADHD, as I have too many projects sitting around ready to finish. Between finishing the last vehicle for my Space Wolves (a Stormwolf), assembling my next two Imperial Knights, and painting my AM infantry, I have vowed to not buy anymore models.....

WarriorFish Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Excellent, we'll look forward to your WIP topic. Will you be vowing them as part of the ETL too? It's a great way to plough through your model backlog too... :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/308370-scion-unit-size/#findComment-4063334 Share on other sites More sharing options...
