I do the exact same thing for my mech guard, except they're in a chimera with 4 grenade launchers; 7 S6 shots from a moving vehicle while yelling at their foot-slogging babysitters to move move move or FRFSRF? Hilarious. (and not terrible anti-transport for 105 pts that scores and packs a HF)

fantastic, but is it safe to assume the PL squad was a support unit, not the core of your troops?

i run a vets list with three squads as the core of my army. i guess you could say they are support unit because i only ever run 1 squad of them their ONLY job is to outflank to grab objectives and thanks to the reroll that my astropath gives me, its easy. so yes i think PL are useful but i would only ever take 1 of them in a game. they are just so useful depite not knowing what their skill will be. it probably helped that i attached the primaris psyker to them (which most people dont seem to like except for me) to give them a bigger punch and my Demolisher was right there to sweeten the the deal (also outflanked because of creed's rule but didnt do much except look scary.) PL by themselves prolly arent very good but if can use them in just the right way...

Uhh i think if you attach an IC to them they lose the scout rule....and thus cannot outflank....

Unless you have creed.

Yup, but he assigned the outflank to the demolisher I believe....

ok. well the Primaris didnt get to fire a shot. lol he just sat on the objective with the PL

ach so...

so.... it was an honest mistake that didnt affect the game at all
