So pretty much this list looks fun to play...once...and then notsomuch after that. Pretty much wanted a fairly effective henchmen horde that comes at you. It's pretty self explanatory...Dreads, Lots of Melta and Stormbolters. Coteaz makes them troops, Karamozov has the Dread Reputation bubble to make units reroll all failed morale and pinning checks. He sticks with the Crusaders. Karamozov also has the Orbital strike I can use...without scatter if i place it over my own model. (good for a horde)

Looks pretty good. I've built a few one paper, of various points, the thing I've found hard is not over using the same thing over and over.

Mhmm...honestly this list bores me...but it would be fun to try once. Most of my henchmen lists are basic "veteran squads" with crusaders and plasma pistol warriors

Get some Deathcult Assassins....

That's the problem I see with more henchmen armies. There's very very little in the way of diversity, unless you want to use GKs.

I have a question, why give the melta guys power armor? Its not like you are going to be wanting to have them take to blows.
Other then that, you list looks pretty good.

So that when I must allocate to them...they live.

Wait, what? There's 10 kinds of henchmen and one of those kinds has as much customization as most Independent Characters.

That unit alone offers more diversity than several existing codexes.

He wasn't talking about the actual list building...just the way that people tend to build their lists...

Mass "something or another" or mass "this unit"

people don't tend to mix it up because they're too busy making or building "net lists" that are rather annoying.

I very much doubt he was saying the unit has no way of being diverse...though I do see the confusion.

I run henchmen kinda like this. My main squads consist of:

1 Jokareo
1 Deathcult assassin
7 Acolytes with carapace and storm bolters
3 acolytes with carapace and plasma guns
Chimera

They're actually very good in mixed units. I run a 5 DCA, 4 Crusader unit with a Psycho/Rad Tech and a 6 Arco, 5 Crusader 1 Banisher w/ evisc and a libby in a LRC that unit alone is better than most deathstars out there you've got some great support characters in the book. I think you should diversify a bit more when building henchman hordes I'll be in Toledo for rd2 of Ard Boyz and my list is...

I suppose I get redundant in the 3 Las/Plas squads but they still are able to take out surprise threats ala drop podding dreads while keeping costs relatively low. I love Coteaz's unit anything trying to outflank or DS has to play it safe or face 5 MM shots and 4x Psycannons in a Chimera is lol and I've been fiddling with 5 man termie squads jacking rides in them with relentless you can still move and get the same amount of shots as 4 PAGK.

I've recently used a squad of 2 Jokaero and 3 MM Servitors with Coteaz, Wrecked 5 CSM chosen termies in one shooting phase, they do some work

plus it's one of the only times with 40k you're going to be excited when you roll a 1 with 2x Jokaero lol.
