Still thinking about which heads (need to find praetorian style ones). Also I want those Victoria Lamb penal conversion kits..  The wardens have.... The Lascannon. |

I think i mentioned before and my post didn't go through but i used to have an army in dawn of war: winter assault with blue colors and the kasrkin looked like futuristic cops or SWAT teams. I liked the look somewhat but i didn't use it very often. Also as i said the last time this list was lacking good anti-tank and started to worry me until i saw your sentinels. Here's to hoping this list works out for you. I don't know how you'll do vs. MEQ armies. Hell even hordes might rape you or elite combat troops. Something about this list feels a bit weak for some reason. Would be interesting to see them in battle but i don't know how well that's going to turn out.

as i said the last time this list was lacking good anti-tank and started to worry me until i saw your sentinels. . I like that. I like that my 5 sentinels really got you worried for a sec. You're really shitting it now, aren't you? What was that? You forgot my penal legionnaires had rending? Muhahahahahaha! Actually it might be better to take out some penal legionnaires , but it's more fun this way. More chances of rending. Also on the IGMB I've been semi-convinced to replace the PBS with 10 rough riders, but It'll make me lose more, I reckon. PBS shooting powers are the best! Rough riders can take out one thing, then die horribly, usually. |

That's usually how rough riders are built. Sometimes it's not even that if you fight against something with over 5 initiative like dark eldar, eldar, nids and now even grey knights. Watch out with those psykers though. They die pretty easily. You'll find enemies attack them from afar and with blast templates sometimes. Really an enemies will often be like "What's that unit?" and then they frequently shoot at it. Unfortunately that reduces the effectiveness of the squad.

Hopefully they'll drop a few S9 templates frst, though..

I hear the best loadout for the psykers is throwing them in a chimera so they can shoot out the hatch without the whole squad being hurt.

They are in a chimera in this list.
I have a squad of 10 without a chimera in my feudal guard list. The psyker and primaris models are all brilliant.

Well that is good. They need to be in a chimera.
I think the primaris psyker is cool as is the model but what it does is a little disappointing. Possibly an ork killer at best. Maybe it can do other stuff but i haven't played guard in forever.

I've used one once, again in my Feudal list, and I was pleasantly surprised by how effective his lightning arc thing is. It worked.
Also I had him on his own near some platoons, all on foot. He was still alive at the end, but I'd lost the game and most of my stuff to the Death Guard and their daemon princes.

If i remember correctly his stat-line is alright and he has a force weapon but considering his strength he probably won't instant kill anything but commanders and even then his strength and intiative probably aren't enough.
