Galron Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 Is it still a legal formation? My If opponent and I were wondering because holy crap is it super powered in the new rules. A dakka centurion squad is unbelievably insanely good. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/359159-siege-cohort/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mandragola Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 The current FAQ has clarifications for vigilus detachments, which implies they’re still legal. The veteran intercessors detachment has been gutted (as all the content is in the main book) but the others seem fine. It’ll be interesting to see if the same happens to the CF and IF vigilus detachments. But I think that either they’ll get folded in, which would be fine, or they’ll continue to exist as is - also fine. Pretty sure you’ll have access in future either way.

Not quite all the content - Grey Shield is still unique to that, and there's a strat (Liberators, I think) that is still a thing, right? Whether Grey Shield is worth 2 CPs depends on what you wish to use it on. It's a pity that one didn't make it to the main Codex - it's super cool. As far as Siege Cohort goes, you don't need it anymore for Eye of Hypnoth according to Valrak's rumours. However, until the Supplement drops and we see if the Seismic Devastation made the jump as well, it remains valuable enough to run.

jeremy1391 Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Grey shield to use the crimson fist tactic with the imperial fist tactic, since they are worded differently 6’s to hit would cause 3 hits and if outnumbered by more than five you would hit on 2’s and ignore cover Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/359159-siege-cohort/#findComment-5406493 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandragola Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 That’s quite cool. It only works on a pretty limited number of units though. Could be good for a brigade with a lot of intercessors and inceptors.
