Looks good to me.  Can be destroyed in assault or broken if you kill enough from shooting.

I assume no restriction on using a supreme commander reroll on its rally?

Jut thinking of the robotic angle - if you have that the big cheese screaming about the greater good its just going to make it start humming 'Daisy daisy' etc.

Think of it more as the MD shouting at the techies until they "get it fixed".  Happens all the time... :(

This is just an update on the ML turrets. I played in a 4K game yesterday, taking two formations. They were quite helpful in helping my seekers get past the 6+ barrier for Pirannhas and supporting Scorpionfish.

Honda, just curious, did you try and "road block" with them at all?

I wouldn't call it road blocking. I placed both formations in areas where I expected action to take place.

So, in the center where I faced a phalanx of [predators + warlord + landraiders + whirlwind/hunter], I put them about midfield on my side, knowing that the phalanx would enter into ML range, then on the left flank, I placed them within 30 cm of my Blitz, which was on my extreme left.

The formation in the center was able to leverage two formations of Pirannhas+Tetra+Pirannha (so 10 AT shots each) and eventually fire from Scorpionfish. The PTP formations attracted a lot of attention and eventually broke, but did a decent job of stripping off the whirlwinds

The formation on the left actually supported fire from air assets on a very stubborn unit of Predators that withstood tremendous amounts of fire thrown it's way all the way up until the end of the game.

Where I felt the MLS were helping me is placing ML coverage without me having to expend a higher value unit. Although I had Tetras attached to the Pirannha formations, for the most part I could let them pop-up and take shots. Once the SM's figured out where their pain was originating from, it didn't take very long to knock them down to a couple of units.

The leftmost formation lasted throughout the game.

@TRC

I will attempt to put out a quick report as time < outstanding tasks.

:/

Just realised my favourite use for the formation :)
Threatening to teleport into engage range of a siegemaster artillary park/formation. Get to tie up a lot of points of units to stop me compared to my cost, which have to remain there throughout the game as otherwise they pretty much will not be the first activation of that turn (pretty essential to fire the old rt first).

Secondmost remains sitting in front of angry ork infantry mobs :)
