I garrsoned my Crusaders to protect my deployment zone from drops pods and air assaults. I laso garrisoned my Collosus out to threathen the AA bubble wider. Everything except my warhound castled up inside the scout bubble (don't know why i thought it was a good idea to keep the warhound out of it).
Norto had most forces off board.

My thoughts:

Woohoo, finally a Skitarii win!! It did come down to Norto having some abyssmal die rolls through out the game though (I was laughing and he was cursing over Skype!).
If the dreadclaw retinue would have won the engagement in turn 1 (where Norto rolled snake eyes for assault resolution) i think the Emperors children could have done an air assault extravaganza on the skitarii and steamrolled them in 2 turns. But praise the Omnissiah taht didn't happen.

This was our 6th battle report with the skitarii and the end result was 1 win and 5 losses with the list. I'll let the community dtraw their own conclusions from our reports.

Now back to trying out some NDC suggested changes!

Thanks for the reports! Any thoughts on the performance of the individual skitarii formations?

The Sagitarii are a great unit for both shooting and engagements, especially when upgraded with rapiers.
Secutors are one of the best characters with leader in the game and a unit should only be allowed to have two at the most.
Crusaders are better Sentinels and have a clear role in the list since they have scout. I would always bring at least 1 unit, maybe even two.
Not to sure about Collosus robots. Most of the time they're on OW creating a AA-bubble. Don't really know what to use them for.
Avengers are very high priced aircarft with an exssesive amount of firepower, i would rather see them downgunned and downpriced.
Chimedons are a way to expensive to use which is a pity since they give the Skitarii much needed speed. Don't see why every unit have to be unique in this list.
Minoris are really cool with all of their weapon choices. But maybe a tad to expensive?

Thanks!
Sagitarii: I agree with Sagitarii. They work really well with Rapiers and I prefer to attach a corvus minorus.

Secutors: I think you might have confused Commander with Leader on them. I've toyed with giving them leader but didn't yet due to the potential unbreakable formations they could create.

Colossus: I tend to use them as support formations for sagitarii or hypaspists. Sometimes to protect Crusaders moving up. They can put out a lot of good ranged firepower and provide the AA bubble for things without a minorus plus they tend to be tough to shift and the FF helps deter assaults on the infantry.

Avengers: Avengers are what they are, but they may be a tad too expensive. Do you think you get enough value for the points?

Chimedons individually aren't that expensive. The cost is that you only get to transport one stand per chimedon meaning you have to take 10 of them. That doubles the size of the formation and massively boosts firepower. Thus the added cost.

Minrous: I agree the cost might be a tad high. thinking perhaps 250-75 for them and dropping the cost of the majoris a bit too.

Any thoughts on the demi-century outside of the Secutors?

Some terrible luck on vassal this game. 1 thing I've noticed in games is the difference of of air assault not caring about scout screens over here (I think it should be played that they screen it). Maybe sectutors could gain leader like bonded team while 1+ is alive?

That's an option I hadn't thought of. Could work nicely.
