So I'm wondering if I can run these guys with my Menoth. I have access to the Merc book but I couldn't find them in it so I don't know if they are legal for my Menoth to take, or if they are any good.

Does anyone know what page they are on in the Merc book?(if they are there at all)

They are not in the merc. book, they were released later in the Wrath anthology book. They do work for protectorate though.

Whether they are good is debatable. Some people say they are too high points or too weak defensively. The unit is very no-frills with cma, cra, and solid aoe3 guns.They are the only unit in the game possessing both combined ranged attack and aoes on ttheir ranged weapons leading to very strong blast on a single aoe from them should you choose to combine.

Give them an attendant priest.

Give them immunity to spells via attendant priest.

Give them Defender's Ward.

Laugh maniacly.

Sounds like a plan, I guess I'll pick them up on thursday.

I got Arcane Mechanic in the Summer Rampage today

They are also very nice with General Ossrum (who also works for the Protectorate, for those two warcaster games.) His upkeep spell "Fire for Effect," boosts the attack roll and damage rolls (plural) for the first ranged attack made by a model. Stick it on the unit leader, let him lead the CRA, and you get a powerful, boosted main shot followed by boosted blast damage rolls that have whatever other members of the CRA added to it (so i think something like an effective POW 11-12 or so.) It's pretty naughty.
