And you think losing 6CP is worth it ? Why the veil of darkness ? You can only use it on CORE units. Why no canoptek control node, if you have so many canoptek units ? The chronomancer can only give one unit a 5+ inv. Your opponent will shoot another unit, that has no inv.

And you think losing 6CP is worth it ?

I know right. I'm thinking of making it a battalion instead

Why the veil of darkness ?

I was going to use destroyers + veil combo then realized that they are not core. OMG. The only core is warriors.

Why no canoptek control node, if you have so many canoptek units ?

Yeah May as well use canoptek control node. I think doomstalker should be good for this.

The chronomancer can only give one unit a 5+ inv. Your opponent will shoot another unit, that has no inv.

This one is for the spider

Thank you for your input
