I have underestimated how good that is until i played. I had inspired tactics 3 times during the game with no vox casters or laurels, it is amazing, as i had 2 company command squads that had 5 orders between them and 3 platoon command squads that could issue the move and shoot order and another one each turn.

I had 1 blob with autocannons and grenade launchers, another with lascannons and another with power axes and grenades. Plus some heavy weapon teams. Main command squad had a chimera and a standard relic to give everyone within 18" fearless. It wasn't bad, but it was far less mobile that i like to play. It was literally an immovable object. I had about 4-5 times more models than my opponent's eldar army, he won the maelstrom game with 17 to 16, so i can't complain about how resilient the army was. I think he would have struggles a lot more if i had an aegis defense line or he did not have the eldritch storm on his farseer, but in the end he had only like 5 models left when i still had about 40 :D ...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17409418898691786525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3830414113837067378.post-66178712382452391602015-12-22T12:13:40.465-08:002015-12-22T12:13:40.465-08:00You are missing a Command Choice if this is suppos...You are missing a Command Choice if this is supposed to be a Cadian Battle Group. Also need another tank in the Emperors fist, remember that a tank commander has to take 2 tanks in the squadron, so its a minimum of 5 tanks for it (tank commander-2, 3 leman russ squadrons).

If you are taking a Cadian Battle Group detachment, then no, as it specifies if the datasheets are not listed they cannot be taken. Now you can take a psykana division and attach the commissars from there to your platoons, but you can't just take a commissar like you do in a CAD from AM. Priests are not listed at all so can never be taken as part of a Cadian Battle Group. Only way again is to take a CAD and either go with one formation or a smaller Cadian battle Group (Command and Core choice).Grumpy Guardsmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17589097813598490581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3830414113837067378.post-64114520149468779472015-12-20T21:30:52.964-08:002015-12-20T21:30:52.964-08:00What are your thoughts on whether or not you can i...What are your thoughts on whether or not you can include a Commissar or priest into the Emperors shield infantry platoons.
