That's the first problem you noticed with 100 Ministorum Priests?

We had the same kind of threads when people found out about double FOC.

Well, there's the lack of power mauls, I mean S8 AP2 attacks at initiative, 4++, what could possibly go wrong.

They are only s5 at initiative. S8 at init 1.
With power mauls, of course.

S3 and S6 respectively otherwise.

All kinds of Fun with Unbound =P

18 Celestines - not too good imo, but so much fun...

25 Avengers - sounds just like the 10 Flyrant one

But here's me hoping that BattleForged "You can always capture objectives & Re-roll Warlord trait" is enough to actually win against the 10 Helldrake Armies.....

18 Celestines isn't really doable, as even in Apoc I believe you can only have 1 of each special character.

Everyone looking forward to tomorrow & 7th ed.?

It finally tipped the balance of "should i really go full mechanized?" and recent purchases of Rhinos has got all of my BSSquads into shiny metal Bawwkses!

Used to run
2 x 10 BSS Flamer+HF, one with priest and canoness
5 BSS Flamer + HF

Probably now:
2x 5Bss HF+ Flamer + Rhino
8 BSS priest and canoness + Rhino

Being able to embark on allied transports means I'll look into a Land Raider or two for my assaulty units.

I'm curious to find out if there are changes to adamantium will. I'd hate to have to ally just for psykers defense. But from the current rumours, our number of dice during the psychic phase seems limited to 1D6.

Adamantium Will seems to work as before, +1 on a deny roll.

I guess I should take it as a blessing that at least we can try to deny blessings. Pun intended. :p

Yeah, but Adam. Will doesn't help against blessings, you need natural 6s to deny that.

Yeah i'm being extra hopeful that being a defined Anti-Psyker Army, we'd get some kind of bonus that is better that just rolling more 5+ than the enemy rolls 4+, with half the amount of Dice the enemy has.... when its not blessings....
But i'm sure we will indeed just have to ally across to get the extra pool filled...

Between that and filling Land raiders, it's almost like you will have to ally Inquisition

Unless an allied psyker has a psychic hood and is within 12". I'm not sure if adaman will stacks with the psyker, but if it does that would be sick.

Chaos isn’t a pit. Chaos is a ladder. Many who try to climb it fail, and never get to try again. The fall breaks them. And some are given a chance to climb, but refuse. They cling to the realm, or love, or the gods…illusions. Only the ladder is real. The climb is all there is, but they’ll never know this. Not until it’s too late.

So for 164 points you can ally in 2 inquisitors and 3 psyker acolytes. Cheap enough but you'd feel dirty associating with the warp tainted

Oh, that'd be nice, but can only take 10 Repentia in a squad. I'll do it anyhow!

I'd go for a psybolt crusader. Repentia are still bad even with a land raider though. :(
