Battle plan:
Scoria and the Myrmidons drop in the drill, walk the robots up with Dominus to support.
Trying to avoid super heavies in the list, semi casual game vs Talons or Cults may post battle reps later.

Ugg need to rethink, drill can transport the big boys, will revise later.

OK!

Is there a question in here, or statement, or something you want us to comment on?

If I were to comment I might remark that if you're drilling in the Myrmidons you might consider fielding Secutors instead of Destructors; Destructors are more expensive and have a longer-ranged load, Secutors get more firepower more cheaply at shorter range (for the cost of that squad you could be looking at four phase-plasma fusils and two volkite chargers).

It is true that the Secutors are packing power axes rather than fists and are thus less intimidating in melee, but with a 3+/5++ even T5/2W isn't going to keep them alive long enough to swing against the kinds of things Scoria is looking to hunt, so it might be better looking to get more damage off shooting before you get stuck into the fight.

Either or, I have not seen a lot of posts in the subsection and home some games planned this month after a long hiatus.

@AnomanderRake Good point however my initial oversight still comes into play that Termite Assault Drills may not carry models with the Bulky, Very Bulky or Extremely Bulky special rules so Myrmidons of all flavors are out. Perhpas I can use a Peltast or Hoiplite squads as the haywire would help crack a Telemon or gun down artillery crews or even some Scyllax with flamers. I really wish the drills where dedicated transports or I could take them in larger numbers than 1 per slot. I could drop the Destructors move the Vultarax to a single squad. Its weird planning a list that will perform vs a vehicle heavy talons army and a mostly infantry cults.

I have been wanting to try out the Domitars now that they have haywire flamers and I know Atarax will be fantastic but they lack a model currently, I currently only have 1 Thanatar currently otherwise I would consider a second. Besides a allied detachment is there any way I can pick up more fast attack slots? I know weird question for this faction.

I've seen Hoplites come out of a Termite before, it seems to do the trick if you're worried about cracking vehicles.
