cool report! What were your thoughts on the Skitarii?

I think there was a bit of confusion about the robots. The colossus were mentioned as firing multi-meltas they don't have. The Crusaders have the MM.

i will make sure he is given a good beating for his robot error, must have been some dodgy ad mech code that caused the mix up between the two.

i love the skitarii,

i cant make the praetorians work, they get shot up before they can get into cc even in a shielded armoured transport,

minoris, im still figuring out if they are better in a unit of 2 or as an additon to formations, probably best to plug at or ap gaps in formations.

a good mix of robot options, still another option would be nice, the more the better imo for ad mech

a formation of seculors maybe 6 strong? as an elite unit/bodyguard would be a nice option.

having said all that i have only played two games with them and ive got stuff ive never used before like orbital support to try out.

hah, yes. I thought it was just a mistake on the name until the crusaders moved a bit later



I tend to use my skitarii on foot and transport sagitarii so I get more use out of the separate minorus formation for shooty stuff. I haven't had a chance to try a mechanized Skitarii demi-century with minorus. Attached minorus are quite fluff though

It might be fun to try out a demi-century with minorus transport and a shooty minorus. around 500-550 points but could be pretty cool.

the separate formation for minoris may be the way to go, do you mean a formation of two minorus, a corvus + a shooting minoris then load a separate infantry formation into the corvus? just so i understand it.?

that reminds me, the mechanised bit - the chimedons a great little unit.

No, you'd take two minorus upgrades on the Sagitarii or Demi-century. One would be a corvus and the other shooty it'd all be part of the same formation. For a separate minorus formation two shooty would be the only way to go.

id like to get a formation like that! but you can only take a max of one on Army Forge?

is that the same for praetorians? x1 transport x1 shooty + praetorians might work?

Might be a bug in army forge. The only restriction on upgrades to core formations is you can take a max of three. There are some other restrictions like the 0-1 magos but you can take three minorus upgrades to a demi-century or sagitarii formation.

Praetorians aren't part of the core formations but they have a special case allowance to add a single Minorus upgrade so they can have transport but it isn't required to take the corvus pod so you could have a shooty minorus backing up the formation.
