idk how I feel about this. I don’t dislike it but I’m not sure if I like it, really like it, or even love it tbh.

 

i like that we can attach commissars to ogryn/bullgryn.

the detachment rule is solid, and just in general it seems some good combos and thematically all of it seems to work.

I like it a lot, gonna give it a swing next weekend at my first game in a few months.

 

Officers being just a blanket extra order is huge IMO; one RDTC can probably order your entire armored portion of your army, and if not, one more tank commander will definitely get you good in that direction.  The Commisar on Ogryns is something I hope is just blanket adopted in 11th, and the new orders are both cool enough I kinda wish they were also just evergreen, but also probably would make certain order combos just too strong in other detatchments.  Strategems are all pretty useful, no bad ones just somewhat situational.

 

I bet it sees a lot of play as people like Ogryns still currently and RDTC are the backbone of any army leaning on tanks.  I'm tinkering with a list that's three RDTC and then 6 LR chassis tanks with a small unit of home sitters.  Probably gonna die in melee to something silly but if it works, boy howdy it's gonna be fun.
