I think the apostle does confer Fearless as well. Nasty little unit that.


I've ordered 20 autogun cultists today and, depending on the game, they will be my home objective campers. For games with fewer objectives i will try to drop all 20 on one objective and plug away at max range with the autoguns and heavy stubbers.

With more objectives i will hold back a unit of 10 and move the others forwards, hopefully through cover, to try and claim another one out fo the main battle line.

I have had a fair bit of luck with naked squads of 15-20 cultists behind a ADL with a quadgun. I just sit them back on an objective and pick away with the quadgun. Whenever they get shot at I go to ground but otherwise I just try and keep my Kharn/bezerker unit between them and the scariest enemy assault unit.

For the points cost, they are incredibly hard to shift with that 2+ cover save.

I run mine as allied IG. Less points and more options

true the basic guard squad with a Pgun is 65pts but you still need to buy a IG HQ

and a CCS is a total waste of points?

70 points gets you a BS4 lascannon with 5 ablative wounds, some with a 5++
or give them meltas for 90 points
and orders are great
CCS are great
