I did best with cypher and 3 chosen squads with a flying nurgle DP and a bunch of nurglings (infiltrate and OBSEC).
Still lost, but it was closer.
Cheers, sounds like fun!

Infiltrating chosen work pretty fine too. But not as a single threat ofc. You need everything to be in da face to make footslogging infiltrators truly effective.
This is what you want. Cypher + Chosen are not great on their own. But add Huron and a large blob of cultists and you now have a very scary infiltrating army.
Cypher + 3 units of chosen + 35 strong cultists + anything else if you roll well.
Cheers, that sounds like something I can do

Especially if you have a plan for the "anything else", which will work for you whether you roll a 1, 2, or 3 on the number of infiltrating units. So the extra 1-2 units beyond the cultists have to be something that you can bring in by other means if you have to -- which, for me, means they are probably Obliterators.
Aye, I agree!

Sweet sassy molassy, that's nasty. Oblits should work nicely as an "If then" unit to cover extra infiltrations.

Why would you use Power Swords when Power Fists are 10 points cheaper?
And before anyone cries typo; we have one source for Cypher and his Chosen. It says Power Fists are 5.

"'players must agree how they are going to select their armies, and if any restrictions apply to the number and type of models they can use."
This is an actual rule in the actual rulebook. Quit whining about how you can imagine someone's army touching you in a bad place and play by the actual rules.

When people ask, "What's the point in understanding everything?" they've just disqualified themselves from using questions and should disappear in a puff of paradox. But they don't understand and just continue existing, which are also their only two strategies for life. |

GW has fixed the typo in a update for the digital file.

I'm logged in as we speak. I just downloaded it again. It has not changed.

They're way too expensive for what you get. A Spawn unit with a killy lord costs less and is more likely to make it to combat. As for specials, CSM does a poor job of spamming them.

There have been threads for this argument. I'd just assume we continue to talk about how to run Cypher and his Chosen here on this thread without having to do this again. Please. It is hyjacking if it needs to come up everytime someone starts a Cypher tactics thread. It belongs in YMDC anyway.
