So JY2, what are your thoughts on cluster spines vs stinger salvo. Traditionally, I always went cluster spines and there has not been a game where I haven't launched a couple of pie plates. But stinger salvo can be used to help ground FMCs?

I'm still primarily a cluster-spines person. There are some advantages to stinger salvo in this edition - they can actually do something to some flyers, they can ground FMC's and they can be used in Overwatch. However, with the shift in the meta to more infantry-based lists, I think on average you will get more mileage now from cluster spines than even before.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts JY2.

Nice to see gargoyles on the field! They can be quite useful in many cases, I'm looking to field 2 squads of 15 once I have them all painted up.

Yeah, gargoyles are really good. My only issue with them is all logistical - packing them, bringing them with me, moving them on the board, etc. That usually takes up more time and space than I would like due to the models being cumbersome. But game-wise, they're solid.
