@Black Blade Yes! There are parts of AoS 1.0 core rules that were obviously new and experimental that did not make it into AoS 2.0, but certain units relied on them to get away with some otherwise outlandish model design. Grandfathering in those units was not done as well as could be. An updated skirmisher rule on the data card letting them be 2-3" apart would have been a simple fix. I think the issue with roles was a holdover from WFB armies influencing how the Stormcast were initially designed. Prosecutors make sense when most armies have classic artillery pieces that can be shut down with a small unit that can put out 6 attacks to kill or cripple a three person crew. I agree that Retributors are currently in a strange place; I think their meant to be Starsoul Mace delivery vehicles, which seems like a ****** design for a unit.
@EMMachine I thought about that, but after reviewing the updated base size charts I decided not to. It's more of a personal quirk - I don't like altering base sizes if I don't have to because I don't like spending on bases. Those Prosecutors are gorgeous! Does a 6 man unit with paired hammers and the 2 grandhammers work well for you?
@Criti I've set the wings up so I can do the same with a long pin and the hook point between the rocket pack (seriously, it's either that or an upside down pineapple).
