Thanks for all your help!

Drop 1 battle sister from 1 squad and take 2 armorium cherubs on the retributor squad.

Non sisters player here, but do your retributor squads have the option of taking ablative Bolter sisters? Might be worth turning a troops squad into extra bodies, the multi meltas are an investment worth protecting.

I sometimes do the same with space marine devastator squads in lower point games, and I haven’t regretted it yet

I'm assuming the plan is for them to go in the Rhino with the Dominions for the cheeky advance move (until/unless that gets errata-ed)

Why would it get errata'd? They already have the FAQ and the design is incredibly intentional.

Hi all,

Yes the plan was to put the retributors into the rhino, so I can’t add any more than the five models unless I take out the dominions and add more bolter retributors to that squad, the downside of course being I won’t get the scout move in the first turn. Would this be a good trade off?

And also like Erjak suggested I would add the cherubs onto the retributor squad, but do these not also increase the model count for what is entering the rhino?

Thanks!
