Unfortunately, they get really expensive for an allied force, especially if I am upgrading the tauroxes and adding extra troopers to the squads.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18189898844575865773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3830414113837067378.post-80349525136443049122015-04-10T00:45:46.244-07:002015-04-10T00:45:46.244-07:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05764607535489057433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3830414113837067378.post-85583845355623099242015-04-09T18:49:18.413-07:002015-04-09T18:49:18.413-07:00I've done a few similar things, only problem I...I've done a few similar things, only problem I have had is that it either works really well or fails miserably. I like ten man squads, but often a five man will do the job fine. I like a few rifle squads though as my base for the rest of the army.Grumpy Guardsmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17589097813598490581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3830414113837067378.post-71133750020670847702015-04-09T18:47:35.446-07:002015-04-09T18:47:35.446-07:00I just have yet to have it do enough to warrant ta...I just have yet to have it do enough to warrant taking over a gun. If the squad could be buffed to full size, but 5 man squads are pretty easily killed if your opponent wants them dead.

I play on tables with a fair amount of cover so trying to get the full 16 shots of quite hard. I like the idea of a vanguard squad of 3 arc rifles in a taurox.for AT. One tactic I've found works is a comand squad in a bunker with a coms relay and a few squads in tauroxs acting as scouts, the rest of the army is in reserve and acts as the cav to apply pressure where needed in overwhelming force.

The units would be nearly the same (add a commissar) you lose the second command squad, but you gain the advantages of the formation every time you disembark. Twinlinked and Pinning seems like it would make up for lack of second command squad issuing orders. Curious to get your thoughts, I really want to find a synergistic combination between skitarii and scionsMedicMikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17461144133900188840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3830414113837067378.post-15912501695320059902015-04-09T07:58:30.178-07:002015-04-09T07:58:30.178-07:00At this pt level, the missiles are just not worth ...At this pt level, the missiles are just not worth it.
