HH 2.0 Brotherhood of the Phoenix: IIIrd Legion Tactica

[Razorblade]

Question: 

Is there anything stopping me from running Maru Skara, not putting anything in Reserve and simply enjoying +1 Movement all game?

I don't see any restrictions for that. Nice catch :)

Been thinking about Brotherhood of the Phoenix. Running a couple of small(ish) units of Plasma or Volkite Sky-Hunters with a jetbike Champion. They can zip around, strong shooting, give the Sgt artificer & phoenix spear then assault targets of opportunity - they're gonna either win and sweep, or ideally stay locked in, then Hit & Run in opponent's turn, reposition a massive 2D6 + 16 and cause more chaos next turn. Preferred Enemy being fully utilised in shooting and assault. Very glass hammer, but careful positioning and speed could mitigate?

Another synergy I've thought of lately. Moritat running with Palatine Aquilae with phoenix spears. Park them near to enemy high value units (though not anything that could massacre them), let him go bananas with chain firing plasma. You essentially bait a charge, at which point the trap is complete - laugh as your opponent runs into a wall of Reach (1) weapons, which will instant death his T4, and with Counter-attack to boot! Play the old Perfect Guard + Sonic Shrieker trick and they're toast.
