The Praetor goes with the 9-man Terror Squad. Leviathan, Contemptor and Praetor's squad come down first, with the two Dreads hopefully mauling any nasty vehicles the enemy may have. Hopefully the Damocles bombardment will soften up a target of opportunity for the Terror Squads too. It will hide behind cover so as not to die and will hopefully allow the Terminators to come in and melta something turn 2.

One question though: should I replace the Terminators with a Kraken Lightning? The reason I opted for Terminators, aside from theme, was that they are hopefully a big enough distraction that my Terror Squads will have time to get into melee.

Thoughts?

Thanks.

Unfortunately with the new FAQ as it stands now since it will likely change, the Praetor cannot deploy anymore with the Terror squad since they have infiltrate despite the fact they are podding in. Until the FAQ is live you and I both are good, I run Sevatar with the same squad except I run the squad for hand to hand. You might want to give him terminator armor and DS in with the termies.

It always amazes me how small legion forces are even though I have been playing them for almost four years now. As small as your force is, I think it will do ok.

Sevatar is the good choice, the termiers with DS will always be a very nasty surprise

A question: wouldn't it be more interesting to have 3 pods? The two dreadnoughts can arrive faster, no?

Sevatar isn't as good as a regular Praetor, he doesn't have AP2 and can be insta-deathed by a Paragon Blade quite easily. His Warlord trait is also terrible. At least he does get the Atramentar perk, which is basically his "real" trait.

It's a shame about the infiltrate thing, even though it doesn't really make sense, but them's the breaks.

There's 5 Pods (1 for each Terror Squad).

Fortunately in Terror Assault you can at least put Sevie in with a hand to hand vet squad in a drop pod so all options aren't completely out of the window. Its not an active FAQ yet either so the old(correct) way still works for now.

The old way didn't work either, as it was a bunch of legalese chicanery. The FAQ enforces the rules as written, much like the grenade change.
