after having seen all proxyhammers dark reaper praise on youtube i actually gave them a spin yesterday for the first time in tenth.
They were super good! i ran a tempest in each of the 2 5 man squads and the killed a lot of battle sisters. My opponent didnt find time to target them even once as there was so much else to shoot at. so they started at ground level shooting just indirect and then went up the ruin they where hiding in to plungefire down in turn 3-4-5. Suddenly ap 2 ignores cover was decent and the 2d6 s4 ap2 shots from the tempest became something my opponent had to consider when moving across the board. Really a shame that the tempest launcher doesnt ignore cover. I had a unit of shroud runners in there to grant the reapers lethal hits but vs t3 sisters it wasnt that important.
at 85 points i feel these guys are okay. if not great.
