I'm doing the exact same thing only instead of acolytes i've got neophytes to make good of their "always counts as not moving until the charge phase" rule. Also instead of 2 squads of bikers I'll be running one and a 10 man squad of aberrants. Haven't played it yet ,but somehow I feel it won't be as good as it sounds... I think bikers are either all in or just 1 then proc pack hunters and drive by demolitions during a single turn - after that you can basically write of the jackals or try and annoy with them by hanging in quadrants and near objectives for secondaries. Being only 58 pts with 2 demolition bombs I can live with that. I guess one can do that with 2 jackals during 2 consequitive turns...

I've found that abberants actually cost 500 points and like 4 cp for 10. And that you won't get that value out of them.


Yeah neos is the other version of this list. Hand flamers just don't miss. So removing a step for my shooting from the game is mucho importanto. And they have the added benefit of being actually viable in melee and can be taken in squads of 5

Also you use 2 bombs a turn, 1 in the movement phase and 1 in the shooting. If you have one more left you can use it in melee
