I am struggling with understanding how they fit into a conventional list given their weird point value. Fast, durable and enough hitting. But most importantly its cheap and it doesnt need any buffs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OkayestDM Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 Interestingly, I think the value of Vigilors might go up a bit in lower-point games. Units that can cover multiple roles are more worthwhile when you have to be conservative with points, and the fact that they could shoot a unit and then charge in and benefit from their own +1 bonus in the combat phase dies have some value. They're still not an "optimal" unit, but not completely without value either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking to play a redeemer heavy lists that sits on objectives. Was thinking I could bring in a Lord-Celestant on Stardrake with Amulet of Destiny/Drakescale Armour to tie up key threats. My output would be an issue though I think. Any other thoughts? Some shooting probably wouldn't go amiss. You've the points for judis or raptors.

CommissarRotke Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 2 hours ago, Horizons said: I edited it. Hopefully it's clearer. Jist of the list is Gardus with Praetors. Lord-Arcanum on Gryph Charger, 2 Stormstrike Chariots and 20 Vindictors. (10 Man, 2x 5 man). Chariots feel like a good tool to pin people in 3+ save with -1 to hit. They also look great. List feels weird without a priest adding some ranged as well will cap this list off 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if they don't have the vanguard keyword they fit perfectly thematic wise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchleuderMann2 Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 if i give the knight incantor the Master of magic general trait, can i then first try to unbind normally and use its auto unbind for the reroll? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d say no. The Voidstorm scroll is instead of rolling, so once you’ve decided to make the roll you are already past the point of being able to use it.

Hannibal Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 the 2x Liberators; 1x Vindictors as battleline is based on tight points, isn´t it? Or is there any advantage of using Liberators instead of Vindictors? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is there any advantage of using Liberators instead of Vindictors? There is an advantage in a subtle way, but mostly it's a matter of points. You will almost never be using AOD on an MSU unit of libs or vindictors, so their survivability is the same. Vindictors are slightly better offensively. But only if all their models are alive. Liberators have the advantage that much of their dmg is in the prime and lay low the tyrants, which means they can lose 4 models and still do a good portion of their damage. Personally I'll take liberators every time, unless reinforcing the vindictors or playing hallowed knights. Even with some points left over, I'd rather go for a triumph. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedemptionUK Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 I ended up going 3-2 today at Mancunian Carnage, one SCE list came first and I'm pretty sure another finished higher than me too. I've just had some bad personal news, but when I feel better I'll do a writeup if anyone is interested. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
