+ Heavy Support: +

Scorpius Squadon

Scorpius, Scorpius

++ Total: [3,000Pts] ++

 

 

Idea is tacs and Scorpius stay on table with the MOS. Should be able to survive one hope until the cavalry arrive and gang up getting those sweet rage attacks on the charge.

hence the speeders which can target long range charges to give reavers and others the benefit.

I like this list. The only thing you must be careful is about Master of Signals and Justaerin/Deep striking Assault squads/reavers/jetbikes.

 

Because MoS (Master of Signals) has a Vox disruptor array, which causes all Deep strike, Subterranean assault, Drop pod assault or Area denial drop to become disordered on a roll of 1-3 in d6. So this guy, an obligatory HQ option in this RoW, messes everybody on the table who tries any of those special deployment. Is quite risky in my opinion.

And Charnabal weapons are fine...but I like more power weapons (personal taste)

Unless you are in a highly competitive area, drop a scorpius. Bringing more than one could make you "that guy" given how over powered and cheap they are. Also the MoS issue like the guy above me mentions is a real kicker.

FYI, Vox disruptor has been FAQ'd to allow the owning player to declare it as off or on at the start of each game turn.

It's true!.  I just checked. Well, that change a lot. With that issue solved, I don't see now any problem in your list. Only the Charnabal weapons, but that's a personal taste.

Hi guys I was reading about charnabals are duellists edge, so only work in a challenge. Il swap this small details about.

 

yes I was 50/50 on the Scorpius in a tournament setting might be ok, but I could drop it and swap out for something else there’s enough to play with to get a flyer in there since may as well make use of the MOS. 
 

yes this was FAQd thank goodness, I can turn it on after my turn
