Well ideally it would be hard for me to say no to cawl and kastellan robots once I hit 2000 points but the data smith forge world and Lucius seem awesome too, so maybe I'll run a small detachment with one of those forge worlds at 2000. I havent fully decided. Also outside of this, I've heard from other players that the balastarii with lascannon is really good and the -2 to hit from advancing would be really difficult to overcome without mars. Players have also expressed that they felt that electropriests are weak and never make their points back. Idk, seems really up in the air but money is tight and I don't really want to waste money on models that won't leave the case once i work up to 2000.

2020-09-16 12:10:33 +0000 UTCI do think Kastelans get over looked at the moment but the damage output from these guys is amazing. When you have Cawl and exploding 6s youre getting almost 18 hits in theory per bot. Now at S7 -2 and ignoring cover id argue they out perform the Ballistarii point for point. 3 Kastelans for 375 get 51 hits roughly. 5 Balistarii for 325 get 22 hits...... even with plus mortals on 5s thats 7 mortals to the Kastelans 8 or 9 then the kastelans will do more normal wounds overall.

2020-09-16 06:31:22 +0000 UTCFor someone new just starting off trying to make a 1000 point army, which of these is most worth building around? Balastarii + priests or kataphrons + balastarii? Or something else?
