I find inductii too restrictive, so they want us to go after TEQ with these guys but without a special character in the unit? A bit silly

In smaller point games yeah makes sense, but then they have support squad 

After some more games under my belt I do find them just not worth taking over another despoiler squad. 

 

Even with the defensive buff of ravening madmen they still died quickly to massed bolter fire, and melee didn't really change much either. 

 

Oddly I also toyed around with Surlak and found his Inductii a good bit better for multiple reasons, though I still wouldn't take them because I don't want Surlak as my warlord. 

 

I'm still looking forward to more supplements. I enjoyed the new unit despite no longer thinking it being worth taking as it was fluffy. I hope next supplement we get a bit luckier.

Hello!

I know FotA is frowned upon, but I don't get the idea out of my head - having a WE Venerable Contemptor HQ with the Blood Hunger Warlord trait. Killing stuff in meele to heal up - am I evil? Or is this just a big distraction carnifex that will get shot to pieces?
