Plenty more to come.

The lists it looks interesting, though i'm wondering if the marker drones being proxied as sceamers affect anything as their bases are different sizes.

It's a good thing you didn't roll FnP on the rune priest when you perils, because FnP CANNOT be used for it

I believe you can. The Feel No Pain rule specifically mentions Perils:

When a model with this special rule suffers an unsaved Wound, it can make a special Feel No Pain roll to avoid being wounded (this is not a saving throw and so can be used against attacks that state that ‘no saves of any kind are allowed’, for example those inflicted by Perils of the Warp).

They made an FAQ on black library on the 9th of June mentioning it, if I can still find it I will post the link.

Wow sorry about that, its for the perils table roll of #1. Basically says you cannot take FnP rolls if you fail your LD test.

I will edit my OP.

It's a very interesting list, but isn't your command squad kinda bloated? That many storm shields and thunder hammers seems kinda excessive. I guess you have the unkillable chapter master to tank wounds, and that unit should mulch Knights.

It's only one thunderhammer for the command squad - helps a lot if the star splits up to attack multiple enemy units. Overall it's an expensive unit but has been well worth it for me.

Very nice start.

IMO the unkillable deathstars lost what allowed them to win games; ie their ability to break apart and contest objectives no matter who is on it. With your 3-6 mobile objective secured units vs the daemon players 2 flimsy static OS units you have a big advantage. Should be interesting.

Were you playing conjured units as not having objective secured?

We did play conjured daemons as non objective secured - I won't give out any spoilers yet - you'll see how it played out.

I realized after this game that ScreamerStar is not a no brainer army now - it's powerful but requires a lot of mental processing such as casting psychic powers. Maybe it's not as powerful as it was in sixth edition.

Why would you go to ground with Screamers when you can jink?

Didn't make much sense to me either. I've never used Screamers myself though.

You wouldnt want to, nor can you go to ground with Screamers.

Nor can disc heralds embark into a bastion!, me think someone forgot they are Jetbikes.

All good to know... not that it really mattered.

I'm going to get in a couple test games this weekend to practice for the ATC... Should have another batrep up later this week.

Also note that graviton weaponry does absolutely nothing to buildings as per the graviton rule.
