Cyriss allows to field a lot of Servitor Solos (Accretion, Attunement, Elimination, Reflex) that can be quite helpful in larger numbers, 9 seems to be the max for each type.

Any experiences made with them?

The flare ones are a godsend. The bring hitting from the low average, to a little above average. They're also quite good for running into a zone well away from dangerous things if all you need is a foot on the ground to contest.

I'm looking to get some reflex soon, but they seem very nice given that large blobs of fast infantry is hard'ish to deal with

Attunement with flare can really bring a Syntherion army's shooting up to respectable levels. Accretion seem like over kill in his army (as I usually run the Directive, plus his marshall ability).

Haven't tried elimination or reflex. Hear good things about both.

No wargames these days, more DM/Painting.

I paint things occasionally. Some things you may even like!

If I was going to get elimination I would probably run them with Directrix. Both for infantry clearing (because you will be taking a prime axiom, and probably perforators, so your anti-armor is set) and also to set up silly puncture/feedback shenanigans.

Reflex look really fun. Great for Syntherion to help mitigate any infantry that makes it past your AoE/difficult terrain/magnetic hold and actually get into charge range.

Like watching other people play video games (badly) while blathering about nothing in particular? Check out my Youtube channel: joemamaUSA!

It appears that pretty much all CoC shooting is built with the assumption that you'll have Flare'd your targets. So the Attunement Servitors are pretty much a given.

Elimination Servitors are going to be great at killing single wound infantry, if you've flare'd them.

Or Ciphers. Depends on your points and list requirements (and Flares from a 2/3 point Attunement servitor don't carry the opportunity cost of those from a 9-point vector).

Elimination Servitors are going to be great at killing single wound infantry, if you've flare'd them.


They're still kind of derpy for cost though. I see them as flankers, where you take advantage of their relatively low threat profile to send them behind your opponents lines to take potshots at support units like mechaniks and choir boys.

As for the OP, you probably wouldn't load up on anywhere near your max FA for any of the servitor types (outside of corner cases like Iron Mother's tier list): they're some seasoning for your list, but you need some vectors/units for the meat.

I agree. One shouldn't go overboard with too many Servitors.

Nevertheless, they have a place in a CoC army especially those with no infantry units.

Nine Reflector Servitors should be fun to play since they coiuld make a mess out of almost every target.
The same goes for Eliminiation Servitors which could take on one-wound infantry or units held in the enemy endzone.
Nine Accretion Servitors are a real bargain (for 3 pts in total) with puncture.
