So I got sidetracked by the Militia...I pulled out some sprues of Bullgryn and Death Korps I had, and started toying with a Militia army based on the Death Korps. The Bulgryn look awesome with clubs and boarding shields, and the DK look suitably 'historic' and would be easy to add to other Guard kits such as the support weapons, Sentinel etc. The problem is (apart from the inherent stupidity of starting a new Heresy army) that I really don't like the Leman Russ kit, and the Malcador is resin, so I don't know what to do about their tanks.

My mate pointed out to me that the one province which makes you sworn brothers with Ad mech nd combine it with another of your choice and BOOM -

Meaningful use of plastic skitarri

Nice one, those must be one of the cheapest GW sprues on ebay since they're always stuffing them in every AdMecg bundle box.

Interesting. That Wolverine does look rather like a less-than-battleworthy Russ.

These guys have really focused on HH, and always play games with high-quality armies. They don't pretend to be hard-core competitive players, and I find their videos very enjoyable. Without spoiling the outcome, it is clear from an early stage of the game that the Militia are difficult to use.

Does anyone here have any idea if Armies of Dark Compliance will be usable in 2.0?

I think it very much shows the limitations of lancer units. WS3 combined with basically-only-one-attack-ever means that you're looking at surprisingly low damage. In fact you're probably better off taking chainaxes and getting 3 s4 shred attacks - the feral warriors provenance seems pretty much a go to for cavalry because ws4 on the charge is a big deal.
