Not sure of the best way to load them out. Open to suggestions.

Small squad, chutes and carbines for dropping in on turn 2 and harassing. Big squad, chutes and knifes for dropping in on turn 3 and fighting.

Any other set up is probably better done by incursors or intercessors.

Big squad with carbines is a great target for phobos buffs. Ignore cover plus tactical doctrine is pretty nice.

The way it is written, it seems you can kit them out with grapnels and chutes....


I'm thinking these could be a great addition to a BA list with sanguinary guard. Because of their special rules, and combined with death masks, they will force moral checks with -4 leadership. Plus the CC though shock grenades. Pretty cool.

Grapnels already gives outflank, upgrading it to DS for another 2 pts is a very bad idea. The question is whether you want outflank DS + ignore vertical terrain or just plain DS.
