...and battle brothers with Space Marines?

Because if yes, I could outflank my Centurion Devastators and cause a nasty surprise.

Commander shadowsun has the infiltrate special rule which confers the outflank special rule.

Also Cypher, who you can take without an allied detachment
Or a Wolf Priest with Saga of the Hunter

Cheers. She also confers the entire unit a 4+ cover save in the open, doesn't she? (stealth + shroud)

Course, you cant infiltrate the Centurions with her (at least not until we get an FAQ) but you can put them in reserve and outflank and BOOM - they are within range turn 2 onward, pretty close to the enemy, PLUS they got a 2+/4++ now and Shadowsun can fire one of her Fusion Blasters somewhere else to boot. Lastly, Shadowsun's T3 doesn't matter due to majority toughness (5)


And with the Command Link Drone, all of them re-roll 1s to hit.


Welcome to 6th edition.


P.S: where can I find the rules for Cypher?

Sounds good
You dont get the 4+ cover from a Wolf Priest but you do get stealth so a standing 6+ but you gain Preffered enemy (of your choice at the start of the game)
Acute Senses and the infiltrate, you can do alot of nifty stuff with a WP gear wise.

CREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED

You're a few months late to the party on finding this cheese, despite how stinky it is.

Sammael- Master of the Ravenwing

Geez. That is some stinky cheese.

I really don't understand why SM are BB with Tau though.
Stupid fish-men hogging all the cheese.

Because Ward wants more SM armies . What really annoys me is that tau are BB with SM (when they should be desperate or convenience) but they are allies of convenience with IG when they should be BB (gue'vessa).

Deathleaper's not an IC sadly, but he is still a character.

With infiltrate, fleet, hit and run, rending and some silly morale destroying special rules...plus he forces snap shots.

And has the warlord trait that gives you 2 VPs for every IC slain by him in a challenge. Just a shame he's not Synapse and not as versatile as a Hive Tyrant for his points.

Mind you, he's still WS 9, with 6 attacks on the charge at S6, I7 with rending...

Space Wolf Guard Battle Leaders can come with outflank and stealth.

While it's not Infiltrate, you can play WS, grab Khan and give a LR to your Centurions. Now they do have Scout (and Outflank)

Shrike has infiltrate and therefore outflank as well. But he can only join Jump infantry.
