Am I reading Sacrificial Offering correctly in that you cannot have assault squads in the primary detachment?

Kind of sucks as I was planning a cool Word Bearers force with assault Marines + a warp cult.

It's certainly ambiguous, but I interpret "The army may not include any models that deploy using the deep strike special rule" to mean you can take units that have deep strike but have the option to not use it.

But their models are so cool :negative:

For perspective, one power dagger attack is worth approximately two close combat weapon attacks against T4 power armor. They're ok under Alpharius, but yeah, generally speaking, you're better off with seekers.

You can ally it in through Solar Aux. It's not a LOW in their list

Ooo good catch. I propose this: Solar Aux primary with bare bone troops. 3 infernuses with a few tank commanders for outflank. Ally in Salamanders who sit in the backfield and cackle with childlike glee.

Would having veteran teams with combi flamers and heavy flamers be redundant? While also running pyroclasts? :kimchi:

I recently went up against a 10 man blob of pyroclasts running down field with a 10 man blob of support tacticals with flamers, both with apothecaries. It was gross.

If both of their transports didn't bottom out on a hill on the top of turn 1, it would have been even grosser.

I play regularly at Meeples in West Seattle. We're still small and average 4-6 30k players on any given week. These were from the narrative event weekend that was held at MOB Games up north. First time I had been there. About 20 people with a lot of nice looking armies.

Certainly come ham it up with us. Activity will probably lull until after the holiday. We have a casual book 4 based campaign starting the second week of January, so we will hit the new year running.

So up until yesterday I just assumed a Vigilator was a support officer, but when I was re-reading the red book I realized that they can be the Warlord. I've been having a lot of fun figuring out fun things to do with that- scouting up a stealth'd acid heavy bolter squad into some cover is definitely going to be happening in one of my armies soon.

Anyone else have interesting non-delegatus/non-praetor warlord lists?

I ran two vigilators in a game last week. My opponent wasn't very happy about me getting first blood on his contemptor before the game even started. Tank hunter sabotage attacks from the Alpha Legion mutable tactic :rms:

I'm going to test drive an HQ deathstar tongiht. Going Praetor with paragon blade, full command squad with charnabal sabers, forgelord with rad grenades, chaplain, and apothecary in a phobos. Seems like it might do great things, but in reality the phobos will probably immobilize itself on a sign post turn 1, then the unit will get cut down as they run across the field.

I don't know if he will bring it tomorrow, but your opponent likes his leviathan dreadnought in a dreadnought drop pod. Might want to make sure you have a plan for that possibility (lots of heavy bolters in the back?).

Otherwise looks pretty solid. Should mulch anything on foot.

I always thought that the Dunecrawlers would be perfect for the reductor artillery tank, considering how they ignore a lot of rough terrain, which would make sense with the legs.

Last night I tried out a unit that looks really good on paper, but haven't seen anyone talk about using. I allied in militia and took a ten strong unit of mutant spawn. Also attached a librarian on a scimitar, but unfortunately didn't roll any synergistic powers.

They still managed to soak up an ungodly amount of firepower, destroyed a predator and a few firedrake terminators before finally getting wiped out.
