So I'm considering playing a "just for funsies/see if it works" list against my friend next week. Let me know if I'm wrong on any of the RAW here but with the Mont'ka book if I'm not mistaken I could conceivably take multiple Cadian Battlegroups allied in to have a battleforged army. If not I can just call it unbound. I'm aware some tournaments probably would say no to this list too.

So here's my army list.

25X Company Command squad - 80pts
- MoO

Total 2000 pts.


So that's 25 str 9 large blast templates each turn with an unlimited range and no LoS requirement. In addition each command squad can issue orders to itself to make themselves twin linked, run better, etc... The major weakness to this army I can see is flyers as they will have nothing to deal with them. Deep strikers I don't think are as much of an issue as they would seem, as the first round of meelee they will kill whatever squad they charge on their turn (leaving them sitting ducks in the open on mine). And then there is the fact that it's 25 targets to shoot at. In total that's 150 infantry on the board, so plenty to cover as much space I need to keep deep strikers out of my backfield. Any thoughts?

Let us know how it goes ..So no Objective secured..no way to take objectives without getting killed and no way to deal with deep strikers once thier (unless you consider suicide a way to deal with deep strikers ..to many plates will scatter onto your own spots ) If you get to go first your alpha strike will be devastating. If you go turn two it depends on your opponents lists as to how well you do ..
If your buddy plays orks and brings 66 deffkoptas (big shoota)
or 111 Mek Gunz Lobba you might be in trouble..even if he goes HQ only and brings 27 Painboyz on bikes it will hurt ..no instagibs and lots of saves...

Since Cadian Battle Groups can consist of a single CCS and thats it you might as well take them in Cadian Battlegroups so that they get the Battle Group Vox-Net bonus

What would he be voxing? each CCS can give it self orders on 9s? the most dangerous part is that many orders, 1/36 change of double 6's, by around turn 3 he'll lose orders (that's with a double 1 for a free turn of orders)

Its not a vox-caster you get, you just get a free special rule (called Battle Group Vox-Net) that lets you roll 3 dice and use the two lowest for giving orders FOR FREE.
