Wanted to give the Cadian Battle Group from Mont'Ka a chance. Not convinced the Command benefits are worth it but I thought I'd make a list to try out anyway.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/702335/8899357.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/702335/8899357.page GMT
The artillery is a damn good force - Fire On My Target! with earthshakers is amazing.

You've got a bastion to hide your command section, and plenty of medium-weight autocannon fire. I'm not convinced you've got enough heavy armour-killers to engage knights and similar.

The other observation - you've got to advance and take objectives or you kind of lose by default. Advancing with an infantry platoon is fine, but if you're moving out a blobbed-up infantry platoon, I'd strongly, strongly recommend having a commissar or (better yet) priest to keep them moving in the right direction, and some meltabombs or an eviscerator to give them a chance of stopping a rampaging walker.

Imagine that a Leviathan Siege Dreadnought drop pods into the middle of your lines (in under earthshaker minimum range) - I'm not convinced you have enough in your army to stop that thing before it tears the heart out of your battalion.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/702335/8899470.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/702335/8899470.page GMT
Having said that Vox-Casters pair well with the Artillery special rules so in all likely hood I'll end up fielding the infantry in a CAD and not bothering with the Battle Group.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/702335/8899521.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/702335/8899521.page GMT
I'd rather take commissars than voxes anyway. A commissar also gives you the chance to use your big blobs of men as a reliable tarpit for elite melee units.
