1 Skiitari Battle Maniple

1 Oathsworn Detachment

Don't expect to earn any friends playing it, though. I plan on building one, too, but it's considered one of the prime offenders of the flaws in the war formations have been handled by GW.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/691986/8677406.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/691986/8677406.page GMT It requires an oath sworn detachment from imperial Knights (the basic one that goes under the old force org chart)

Also the cult mechanicus battle congregation (same as Knights, 1 hq 2 troops, no restrict)

But the 3rd the skittari maniple ... The formation says it needs "skittari battle maniple" but the one under the same place as the force org chart simply says "skittari maniple" - and requires 2 troops.

So, I'm assuming to field the war convocation I need:
1 knight of any kind.
1 mechanicus hq
2 mechanicus troops
2 skittari troops.

But why in reading forums and such everyone says the formation requires "1 of everything"?

Clearly a disconnect here. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/691986/8679630.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/691986/8679630.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/691986/8679668.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/691986/8679668.page GMT
Wouldn't it seem logical that all 3 are intended to only require the base formation, and that the requirement for the "battle maniple" is a typo?

Edit: also to further my argument: the photo of the army in the formation includes:
Knight,
1 vanguard, 1 ranger, (skittari)
1 tech priest dominus, 1 breacher unit, 1 destroyer unit, 1 each of the electro variants, 1 crawler, and a robot kastelean.

Missing (from what should be mandatory from skittari)
- rust stalkers
- infiltrators
- dragons or iron striders.

Why would the formation require those units, and NOT have them in the photo, instead showing optional units.

I submit the data sheet for the battle congregation is actually supposed to be a knight oath sworn detachment, the skittari maniple and the cult mechanicus battle congregation. NOT the skittari battle maniple. + others

I think your way would be better honestly, but that's not what GW created.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/691986/8679926.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/691986/8679926.page GMT
I'm using
Exalted court of house Terryn
Skyhammer
Cohort mechanicus
The gore gaurd

Those are the ones I found with a quick Google search. Every single photo inc In the formation has the required units, and not a single optional one. Does it make sense that trend would break here? Or rather a simple typeo

(The cult mechanicus is a "cult mechanicus battle congregation")
It's possible that they carried over "battle" by mistake to the skittari section. So instead of "skittari maniple" (as the to should be) they put it as "skittari BATTLE maniple" mistaking the more complex one for the intended basic one.

I think this is more then me just wanting an easier formation. I think it's a mistake gw didn't catch yet, or have and not fixed. But all the evidence supports. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/691986/8679966.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/691986/8679966.page GMT
