Well, the Tetra is 15cm faster than the Sentinel, has skimmer instead of walker (We'll call that even), but also coordinated fire and markerlights. Oh and it has 5+ armour instead of 6+, and SR3 instead of SR2.


Still at 150 points Recon are the same points per base as FW's with worse stats but better abilities which feels about right in the context of the list. I think the comparison with Sentinels demonstrates that Sentinels are overpriced and IG players pay a surcharge for them.


Except every guard player will tell you that sentinels are great. You've just become spoiled by the overly cheap recon, it really is worth more.

You can't compare them to FW, they are nothing alike. 35cm speed is not "worse stats" for starters...

And likewise you can not compare them very with with sentinels as they do different jobs.

Not really. Recon do everything that sentinels do and a whole lot more. They don't cross over roles with FW at all.

No a tetra's job is to make other formations better and to claim objectives. Piranhas I have already admitted are a problem and need to be fixed I just don't think a points rise in this list is warranted. The list is already underpowered and is forced to rely on activation advantage.

Agreed.
