jaxom Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 Available now in the Space Marine Faction Pack - https://assets.warhammer-community.com/eng_01-04_wh40k_faction_pack_space-marines-b8fac0bihg-2zqk9cllzj.pdf Some interesting stuff in there, haven't had time to really think about it all yet.

HeadlessCross Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 It's a really degenerate detachment to be honest. You basically have cover most of the time, so the rule might as well just read you reroll all 1's to hit and wound. Will it beat out Blade of Ultramar? Maybe not. Will it be absolutely dumb to fight against? Yes.

At first I thought not too bad because of similarity to Angelic Inheritors. Then I realized Ceramite Sentinels benefits tanks.

Then I realized Ceramite Sentinels benefits tanks. It's frankly better than Angelic Inheritors. The Enhancements and Strats might not be as good in Sentinels, but the amount of points you save not buying characters is ludicrous. jaxom 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/387753-new-detachment-ceramite-sentinels/#findComment-6164580 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaxom Posted April 3 Author Share Posted April 3 Personally, I’d say it’s more efficient for many list types. A well built AI list is a massive pain to play against; but that’s exactly one build. CS definitely has more options for lists that can perform.

Priority Strike and Augmented Targeting are the big standouts, and Augmented Targetting is just the same recycled strat swapping "ENTRENCHED" for any of the other gimmick mechanics they make up for Detachments like Auspex Scan. Its not a bad det, but its not super impressive. I still think Orbital Assault Force is much futher down the Monte Haul path than this one.

The detachment rule is "You get free rerolls" because the prerequisite might as well not exist. Strats and Enhancements aren't even required.

Strats and Enhancements aren't even required. No it isn't. You have to be within a terrain feature. There are a number of terrain features, not all of them can you be "in". The 3" movement cap is also not nothing. All for an army that likely already has OOM.
