Hi,

Does anyone run a CAD along with Formations to get access to some Forge World units?

What units do you run and why?

I imagine the Sicaran is quite popular but what else do people use CAD for?

I'm planning on bringing in a Leviathan and Achilles in a CAD alongside my Fist of Medusa, what units do you run a CAD to gain access to?

The Scorpius with the Ignores Cover legacy is actually pretty hardcore for a unit using small blasts.

I like the fire raptor for mass fire to remove enemy backline objective holders which are usually some combo of light infantry and light vehicles in cover. Good vs some fmcs also just due to volume of fire.

The sicarian tank is great vs skimmers and bikes. Really effective vs eldar and even bike sm armies which are very competitive. Tau vehicles also are good targets but i dont see alot of people using them. Alot of shooty mc's but the lascannon sponsons help with those on this relatively sturdy chassis since you can stay at range.

The scorpius is a good choice too as stated above. Those templates are quite good with good ap for the targets you want dead (backline obj holders)

Im tempted by the dodreo dread. Anyone have tried him before? Not sure but seems to be able to make up his points in a game.

Btw whats the best way to use a leviathan dread? No experience with the unit so curious as to best practices with it

Haven't used mine yet but from what I've read around, general consensus is either a Claw/Drill, Claw/Cannon or Claw/Melta and a mandatory Lucius Pod to deliver it in.
