I do think, tho, that right now at least, Armies that are basically another Army, but paying extra for more offense, are going to be hard to use. Leaves very little room for redundancy, and the way things get taken out in 8th, that's rough.WestRiderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10221228665636182019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2668255476316917252.post-57287769183113257802017-08-10T08:34:54.118+01:002017-08-10T08:34:54.118+01:00I think two Vindicares would be a solid choice.

Even if your army doesn't rely on area effects, they can be pretty damn powerful! The Watch Master is brilliant, as he provides full re-rolls within 6". It is incredibly good in the game.

The Vindicare had me cracking up once again, I mean, failing to hit and or wound on a 2+ and you even used command point re-roll(s?) on him... I guess like the other guy said 2+ might be good, but even then only against armies that actually rely on aura effects, so... yeah not sure if they're really worth the investment. <br /><br />Rooting for a win in the next game!Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08199583732490727488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2668255476316917252.post-71136973369791801052017-08-09T23:35:04.382+01:002017-08-09T23:35:04.382+01:00I was gonna mention the zooming Corvus assaulting ...I was gonna mention the zooming Corvus assaulting but you acknowledged that one already...<br /><br />Interestingly I'm told an FAQ or something has clarified that when using a command point re-roll, you reroll the roll. So if the dice roll was 2D6 (such as a charge roll) you reroll both. No keeping the 6 and hoping to better the other roll. On the other hand, a double one doesn't make it pointless trying. Swings and roundabouts really...Gingehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04155099423475435032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2668255476316917252.post-30446864415618185982017-08-09T11:38:39.461+01:002017-08-09T11:38:39.461+01:00Cheers Toonboy!

I keep forgetting that my Corvus Blackstar cannot assault if it is "zooming".
