Reavers, Talos, and Mandrakes, oh my!

That's absolutely true. I guess my problem is that blasters are overpriced at 15 points each, and I just start thinking of ANYTHING that you could use those points for that would be better. Like an upgrade character in a squad to get you a warlord trait.

Could always swap 2 blasters out for 2 heat lances, and upgrade 1 guy to an arena champion for a warlord trait too.

Honestly, they are all supposed to have heat lances, I'm not sure how I messed that up!

Also, one of my lhamey's can't be a warlord?

Also...with the ravager and reavers, would I still want haywire? Why not heat lances as well or cannon?

A Lhamean can be a warlord, but doesn't give you a warlord trait. To get a warlord trait, a model has to be a character(not necessarily independent, just a character).

I would still get the haywire blasters on the Talos. This is the thing....it's almost universally better to have too much AT than too little for you, since you have PLENTY of anti-infantry. Your entire list idea is anti-infantry.

Poison, Talos and Reavers chew up infantry. You need anti-tank to turn their metal boxes INTO infantry, so you can proceed to chew them up. Ideally, you want to make that happen sooner rather than later, to maximize your speed while lowering theirs.

Furthermore, if the current grenade ruling sticks, which it's beginning to sound like it could, we're going to see a shift towards using more Imperial Knights, where those haywire blasters will come in very handy.

Hmm...Good point.

I'll put the haywire on the Talos then. Twin linked Bs3 is pretty darn good, actually, so...

Thanks, I think I can work with this, actually...
