Doof Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 It was recently pointed out to me the wording of the Vostroyan Stratagem "Firstborn Pride" says select a "Unit" and give it +1 to hit. A squadron of Leman Russes is a Unit, so therefore if i use my once per turn stratagem i will be getting the most bang for my buck by suddenly having 3 More BS3 tanks! Does anyone think that this an incorrect reading of this rule? Squadrons suffer from moral do they not? I would like to capitalize on my army's abilities, so things like 42 inch plasma cannons and Hvy Bolters, 30" multimeltas and Demolisher Cannons. What are the best loadouts for a squadron to utilize this? This thinking also has me re-analyzing my lists, i need to take multiple squadrons (russes + basilisks or hydras) so as i have multiple highly effective targets for the best stratagem across all of the Astra Militarum. In a pinch i can also combine this stratagem with consolidate squads and create a 20 man squad (60 man if i had 2 conscript blobs next to each other) to further maximize. After double Checking the codex, Squadrons operate as separate units once placed, so disregard Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/346590-vostroyan-stratagem-on-squadrons/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
librisrouge Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 You’re correct but be careful because most of our squadrons split up after deployment, so they’d be multiple units.

Wassa Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 No, I believe it says something along the lines that tanks must be placed as a unit but once on a battlefield they count as separate units Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/346590-vostroyan-stratagem-on-squadrons/#findComment-5064987 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Without having the codex to hand to double check; I'm certain it specifies that they function as separate units once deployed so it'll be on one tank only.

Bonzi Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Tanks function as separate units once deployed. However....Armored and Scout Sentinels bought as a squadron do not, and continue to move and act as a unit. They can even technically fail moral tests and flee combat if they lose a couple models and there are other - moral modifiers nearby. Thus, the Vostroyan strat could be used on a 3 sentinel squad to buff all of their BS.

Tirak Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 This would also apply to the more capable Tauros Venator. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/346590-vostroyan-stratagem-on-squadrons/#findComment-5068818 Share on other sites More sharing options...
