GreaterChickenofTzeentch Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 (edited) Continuing my codex research, a good Traitor Legions-style "Fist of the Gods" list may be possible for certain Legions. T9 Land Raiders, T8 Predators and Vindicators, strategic use of Mutated Invigoration (+1T can target vehicles), Methodical Annihilation and no Wound Rerolls against them (Iron Warriors), +1 to hit closest target (Black Legion), Warpsmiths and Disco-Lords enraging and/or healing vehicles, etc. Given that I have enough hulls for my IW, I may give it a shot. I might also go full mad lad in a fun game and run two Spartans and a Typhon backed by some combo of Warpsmith, DiscoLord, and Master of Possession so they get full Legion rules in exchange for 0 CP to start....just to see how it might work. Will probably wait for Let the Galaxy Burn to be added to all the datasheets in the Imperial Armour Index. Then hey, enraged LoW's ignoring cover with exploding sixes on Turn 1.....hmmm.....

Gree Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 In addition to the datasheet buffs, I believe that vehicles now benefit from Legion traits? In that case, it's worth taking a second look at some possible combinations. Iron Warrior vehicles get a decent buff to durability. Maulerfiends and melee vehicles synergize well with Red Corsairs and Creations of Bile. It's not going to make CSM top-tier or anything, but it's something to consider when building lists.
