I noticed that all thats stopping me fielding a cybernetica army is the Castellax troop choices.
So i'd like to know - how do dakkas Cybernetica adepts like to kit out theirs?

All input welcome as always.

The multi melta's tend to be the least useful option for main weapon. As if you want melta's thallax can get them around much better
Enhanced targeting array is a pretty useful upgrade no matter what, as you've got got high ap weapons so increasing accuracy and reducing cover is great. Infravisor is more situational, giving night vision but making blind test a I1. though how often are you taking blind tests?

Most of the other options depend on what you plan to do with them?
Sit back and snipe vehicles - darkfire, ETA

Mow down infantry - ETA

Retinue for a melee IC - ETA, nades, flamers and power blades.

Siege wreckers are in a similar boat to the melta's

Just my 0.02 anyways, hope it gives some help

I always try to take the targeting arrays, just too useful. If I don't already have enough antitank in the army, I give them the darkfire cannons. Otherwise, I keep the bolt cannons. I've never bothered upgrading to power blades or flamers.

ETA, Maulercannons/one Siege Wrecker, or maybe Darkfire. Depends on the primary objetive.

I actually really like my Siege wreckers. Instant death on anything T5 down is awesome, enhanced armor pen FW heavy tanks like Land raiders, and also wounding other cybernetica such as enemy castellax on 2s is awesome as well.

Thanks for the input people, one last question;

I think i'll definitely getting two darkfire castellax but i'm torn on the other pair - will i regret not getting four darkfire cannon units?





edit: i went for 4 darkfire cannon toting castellax in the end.

Darkfire's an excellent supplement to melée units, due to how fething useful blind is for our slow-hitting doodads;
4 Darkfire can quite happily be 2 (or 4) different units blinded, however, the price you're paying for 2 more Darkfire Castellax could instead be spent on more potent anti-armour weaponry.

2 Darkfire Castellax and a tank hunting Macrocarid in a more traditional(?) list,
4 Darkfire Castellax in a melée centric list involving Arlatax and Thallax.
