Special Weapons + Scions in Vendettas

Celestine, Primaris Psyker, Lord Commisar and Company Commander with Conscripts.

Hell Hounds and loaded Vendettas frontal attack while the blob holds strong and takes objectives with several buffs from all the characters above.

I really don't like the Geminae with Celestine, they mostly hamper her in my experience. If someone shoots at them and kills both (which is really easy if you use her aggressively), and then puts even a single wound on Celestine, it's pointless that they return later, since Celestine will have to continue taking the wounds anyway since she is wounded. Then Celestine dies, and she HAS to come back next to the useless Geminae. It's better to have no Geminae alive so you can come back anywhere.

I think Celestine is better on her own, hanging back in your army and then counter-charging. It's not worth the 100 points to enable "aggression mode" with the Geminae, those are better spent elsewhere.

Thanks for the tip!! I will keep that in mind on my next outting.
