Aye or just using them as meat shields and expendble fodder for mapping out the enemy prior to a Titan breakthrough. There's innumerous fluff possibilities

Hey Jimmy, I've played this list and it's a lot of fun - great theme!

Some thoughts if you don't mind:

- Would it be possible to have upgrades that add more infantry to the Penal Company and Abhuman Mobs like in the standard I.G. list? For Example:

6 x Penal Legion Troopers and 2 x Penal Legion Taskmasters for + 100 points
4 x Abhuman Penitents and 1 x Penal Legion taskmaster for + 75 points

This way a player could make large human wave type formations which really fit the character of the army list that you've created.

- Could Abhumans get a 6+ FF like Chaos Mutants. It's not much, but it's still better than no FF value.

- Maybe giving the Land Transporter a heavy weapon of some kind, again it's not much but it would help as the infantry have no ranged weaponry.

- Instead of the Mass Containment Transporter, the list could just use the Gorgon. They are a common Chassis in the fluff and it would help the low quality infantry to have some decent transport, so they can get to their destination...and then die.

- Could Stormhammers be an option for SHTs? :)

sure why not try them all out and let me know how she gets on?
The idea of just enormous waves of foot infantry is especially interesting. Individually they're all crap but there's more than you've got bullets for.

They definitely need to go in! Fearless/demented of course :D

Sth like:

15cm, 4+ save, 5+ cc, no ff, bionic enhancement assault weapons (bc) +1EA ; infiltrator, fearless

Formation of 5 for 150pts; no upgrades

Or use those arco flaggelant stats from inquisition list maybe

They were in before actually and we alwawys used them. Thet did not feel overpowered or stuff. Did I miss the post of removal? Can't seem to find it. What was the reason?

No they were not but I'm absolutely happy to add them if they're of benefit. I think the idea of basing the berserker on the Repentia stats is a good one. I'll add it in today. Stay tuned!

Man.. those cyborgs have 3 attacks 3+ in your list now
. I'd rather tone them down as they are not top notch mods for those penal psychos. So rather 2 attacks on 4+ or 5+ paired with infiltrator and fearless.. should still be awesome. Screaming modded madman horde

yeah if 3+ on 3 attacks might need to drop them down to a lower to-hit. more randomness with a lower to hit, which seems fitting
