1970 Not as much left over, here. You obviously wouldn't have to got so crazy on each brick. However, Szeras + Decurion Bonus means your troops are getting 4+ RP against ID and everything else, plus rerorll to 1's and each troop has at least 1 turn of res orb, backed by the 3 GAs.

Not much in fancy fire power in either of these lists, but the show what kind of brute resiliency the crons can turn out.

Honestly I would recommend taking Triarch Stalkers at least two, 6" cohesion or just keep them in two different units, and give your warriors bs 5 Will still be very survivable but will put out more fire power.

Honestly you should drop some of the Ghost Arks out of the 20 mans, go with 2 20 Man Squads w/ 1 Ghost Ark, but have Szerras in a Ghost Ark you got from Fast Attack.

Yeah, definitely both good points. These were more to get your raw capabilities metal tide was down. Trimming down to 3 GAs, 4 troops, etc, are definitely and option, and Stalkers are on the top of the list as replacements.

That 5 brick 5 GA is kind of interesting, though. That's a crazy amount of very resilient OS. Even dropping to 4 x 4 to bring in some stalkers fleshes out to an interesting list. Thanks for the recommends. Let me know if you think of anything else that could aid some bricks.

Why not put a cryptek with chronometron in your bricks? Guarantees 5++/4+. You could do 1 big brick on the ground and 3 10mans in arks.
