But wouldn't adding trenches give them another advantage? That being static defenses and mobile defenses.
Whats the downside with this list?
Just because you always loose doesn't mean every list you play is overpowered it just mean that I am better then you at this
My view:
The fact that I now own a lot of fortifications might be a factor
but on another hand the Cadians fortifications is very expensive so they are self limiting.
The army lack mobility in their core companies compared to Steel Legion and cheap activations compared to the Barans. A Whiteshield company in trenches with sabre platforms (that I have played with) will costs 400 points, I'm sure there are better ways of spending that money.
Besides that I am quite happy with the list as it is, perhaps some point adjustments and to keep an eye on the Ordinatus...

As far as I am aware Sabres can fire from fighting platforms when transported.
Mounted non-fearless units are killed in a lost assault.
My two cents on fortifications. We already have two lists with fortifications and there is plenty of utility for the infantry in the list without them. Fortification can be added to any list in scenario play but for tournaments they're just a massive pain with the potential to cause havoc with balance and they're just not much fun to play against either! I would not support they're inclusion in this Cadian list.
As far as I am aware the list is balanced and ready, all that is holding things back is play testing....or at least that was the case before the meta, opinions and other lists have moved on! There is no particular rush but I appreciate it is frustrating when the list champion is absent, give me a fortnight night to see what I can do and then we'll move on from there.
I'm really pleased the list has interest, it looks great on the table!
Thanks for the reply. Basically I also think this list is ready for the push toward approval. We just need some help to coordinate things with battle reports and perhaps some tweaking.
