Just wondering if anyone thinks this is a good setup for an autarch.
Autarch 70
Jetbike 15
Laser lance 10
Fusion gun 10
Mantle of the laughing god 40
Total: 145
This gives him Stealth, Shrouded, Hit and Run, and reroll to cover saves for the cost of his independent character trait. However, You can turbo-boost, get a 2++ cover save because of the stealth+Shrouded+cover save from turbo boosting. Then you can hit and run with the laser lance or hit vehicles with the fusion gun. Any thoughts?

This is the general Jetarch Solitaire build, and sounds really fun, but not incredibly effective. If you are using him as a fairly invincible fusion gun, fine, but if you assault you are as tough as 3 marines. Just make sure you pick things you can win in a fight, and it will be dam trolly.

You could go the other way and go for longer range fire power. You can take two dark reaper launchers, jam him on a jetbike and profit as you scoot around firing relentless shots of ap3 goodness.

Be very wary of templates and Ignore Cover. There are a few things out there that will really ruin this model's day. And as mentioned, he's not that fantastic in combat, so try to either keep him out of it or coordinate a charge from another unit as you send him in too.

Otherwise? Looks good! If you can keep him away from what should be obvious threats, it's a good way of denying the Warlord point.

But you can still only fire 1 weapon per turn.
