Emperors Children 2k list

[kolebrook]

So I have played a dozen or so games of Age of Darkness. I really enjoy the Emperors Children astartes special rules.  I can outflank the Spartan/terminators and the Lightning. Choosing what turn they arrive on in secret with the Maru Skara special rule. The Artillery and whirlwind set up as a hard point. If there is an alpha strike I can hold them in reserve as well then outflank because rite of war effects elites/fast attack. 

 

Lightning can open up almost any heavy transport on the board ,The Master of signal acts as a spotter for the artillery upping their bs to 5, and If inclined can drop his barrage instead any foot slogging troops. Splinter shells are the hail mary against any TEQ.

 

any input is great!

Decent enough if you weren't using maru skara.

 

Really it only becomes effective for 3k+ even then it's a squeeze. If it was any unit outflanking it'd be great!

 

At 2 k your going to have a substantial amount of your force off board (over about 2/5?)

It leaves you open to being divided and conquered.

Trust me, I tried using maru skara at all points values and lost many times because if it!

Outflanking the flier is useful perhaps,but with krakens it's going for Spartans?

Before the new kakophoni rules came out I was just using my ec as a standard list, no ROW and just using eidolon lol still havibg a decent winning streak.
