I currently run my army from the Militarum Tempestus Codex and so far I am 9-1-3 with them at the moment. They can be effective if used correctly, and a lot of people here tend to forget that these guys where made with the last edition in mind so currently they do struggle with some overpriced units and old rules. But I expect that to change when the Astra Militarum gets there update and currently they are not as bad people make them out to be.

But alas that'd never happen.

Given that they need an Officer within range to get it off on Ld8, it's often not an option, and even when it is, it's not tremendously reliable and requires a lot more setup and coordination than most other platforms will.

Which is why taking a Lord Commissar is an effective choice as he is LD10. Mine has payed off big time and it's nice to have a Warlord with an actual Ward Save and 3x wounds.
