Very old school style of play, but far more viable in the new book. We'll see how it goes.

The strikes are there to be scoring units in the backfield and to protect me from the horrors of deepstriking melta guns.
And Crowe just stands around looking pretty? I do find it annoying that it is so hard to get a transport for him.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if you could tweak the points slightly to take a Grand Master? That way your three Elite Purifiers can still be scoring...
I've thought about it, I'm just worried that if I do so, then in a 5 objective game where I only get 1 additional scoring unit then I might be in some trouble. I could probably squeeze the points out by un-master crafting all the hammers and getting rid of a bunch of halberds. Don't know if it's worth it overall. Especially since in a non objecive mission his grand strategy doesn't really do much of anything for me.
ReplyDeleteCounter-assault or re-roll to wound both sound useful to me in a Kill point game. You might only get one scoring unit; You could then combat squad the Purifiers so you have four in total.
ReplyDeleteMy other though was to replace the small Purifiers with Death Cult Assassins -
