HallofStovokor Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 As we all know, it's quite common for a knight army to bring the loyal 32. It's usually a cheap 5 CP. I was thinking about the new formations the guard has. How effective do you think a knight army would be if the took a spearhead of 2 basilisks a mortar squad and a company commander? It would only add 1 CP and cost 279 points. As opposed to the 170 for the loyal 32. I know the points don't look good, but for that you get a mortar squad that can reroll everything (cadian with take aim) 2 basilisks one that could fire twice or deny overwatch (Emperor's Wrath artillery company). It might be something that someone would try. Any thoughts? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/352442-a-new-imperial-soup/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

HallofStovokor Posted December 17, 2018 Author Share Posted December 17, 2018 The point of the Loyal 32 is to farm CP. A knight list does not need the additional firepower.Very true. I'm just looking for alternatives to the loyal 32 to keep any future nerfs away from the guard. As you know, all non-guard players complain about the guard being overpowered specifically because of the command point farm. I'm afraid of getting 5ppm Guardsmen.

Trickstick Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 I could imagine adding a single piece of artillery to the Loyal 32. You would have to spend a few cp though, maybe even 3 if you want full benefits. Seems expensive for a single basilisk that could get sniped. Then you think about adding more artillery and it gets away from the point most people take loyal 32, which is as a super cheap CP farm. So whilst I think that loyal 32 will stay pretty much the same, there may be an increase of actual Guard allies, which don't just want the CP and use the Guard as a major part of their force.
