So for those of you that have seen the GK codex, you've seen the awesomeness of purifiers.
Regardless of whatever else my GK army will include, I'm going to have at least 2 units of purifiers.

I will probably be playing a coteaz henchmen army to begin with, as I own a ton of chimeras from playing IG. Could purifiers fit in without their own dedicated transport?

Furthermore, a Crowe army looks incredibly appealing to me, but I hate rhino and razorback models on principle. Is there a reliable way to get these guys across the board without a vehicle?

What say you dakka, can footslogging purifiers work, or is there a better alternative for those of us that don't really like vehicles.

well they can always jump into someone elses chimera which would mean you would have a foot slogging, scoring unit way back in the back that would give away a KP but might stick around.

Purifiers are what 25, 26 points a model? That is getting up there to be foot slogging. They will get shot up.

If you're going to footslog purifiers....heck, if you're going to footslog any unit....then you need a librarian with shrouding....3+ cover for the win! But I recommend you either give them some type of transport or let them steal one of your chimeras. That is the best way to run them.

Well, they really need a transport although if you have a couple of Grandmasters you can potentially give some of them Scout.
