Infiltration Cadre Burning Dawn

I know there aren't any formations I could make with that box, but could I make a CAD out of that box alone? Or would I need something more?

Thanks in advance

No because that box doesn't have any troops.

Your going to need a box of fire warriors or kroot as well

Unless you call the pathfinders strikers/breachers. Then a cad could not be created.

CAD requires 1 HQ and 2 troops, which the box has 1 HQ 1 elites and 2/3 FA, with either big group of pathfinders and piranha or 2 smaller groups of pathfinders. A box of strikers/breachers could fill out cad requirements.

No you cannot make a CAD out of that box. However, the models in that box ARE a formation. A booklet should come inside which describes the rules for it.

Ya know, I think I read that on the box and then just forgot it. Thanks for the reminder!

Out of curiosity, is that formation any good?

It's pretty tame as far as formations go. I don't have the box myself, but what I have picked up is that it improves the pirahna's BS and gives everybody scout, as well as giving a few little buffs to the squad leaders and ethereal (FnP being one I think).

It's by no means useless, and it's got character, but if you're playing for power I would look elsewhere.

Maybe someone with the box could give a better idea of the formation rules without quoting them?

It's pretty poor, and forces you to take subpar setup to get it (as they need to match their unique profiles, rather than generic units of their type.)

Grab a box of fire warriors. It's going to serve you better.

I went ahead and picked up the box last night. I have a paint scheme in mind that won't match any of the Septs, but I am really looking forward to painting them. Also, I want to buy 4 Hammerheads over time to build the Armoured Interdiction Cadre (the Hammerhead is one of my absolute favorite models in all of Warhammer). Hopefully that'll make a fun 1000 point army.

Thanks for all your help!

The formation isn't good. It does okay-ish in very small games (500p), but on a 1000+ game I wouldn't even think about using it.
