    AM Codex

    I am interested in Centex opinions on the units in the new codex. I have scoured the internet and from what I have gathered I could put the following units into two categories. I'm interested in your opinions either way.

    Good Units
    Company Command Squad
    Lord Castellan Creed
    Knight Commander Pask
    Ministorum Priest
    Primaris Psyker
    Platoon Command Squad
    Infantry Squad
    Heavy Weapons Squad
    Leman Russ Exterminator
    Leman Russ Punisher

    Bad Units
    Lord Commissar
    Enginseer
    Conscripts
    Taurox
    Ogryns
    Bullgryns
    Rough Riders
    Leman Russ Battle Tank
    Leman Russ Demolisher

    ogryns aren't bad, people just don't like the gun. conscripts are awesome if you bring the right stuff in to support the unit. the demolisher and the BT just suffer from other units being able to do their shtick better, but are still decent.

    once again, the internet knee-jerks with little basis in actual play.

    I would move all those units from Bad to good and put the following as bad.

    Lord Commissar you have Yarrick who is a boss
    Rough Riders
    Vendetta - Cost to high
    Heavy weapon teams could be bad depending on Meta (lots of strength 6 can kill them and serpent shield)

    oh can't forget Creed and Straken. They are pretty bad for the points spent.

    After reading this I have decided that the movie "Pineaple Express" should redo one of its quotes from:

    "But if you do something heroic then you'll come back as like an eagle or a dragon, or Jude Law."

    To:

    "But if you do something heroic then you'll come back as like an eagle or a dragon, or Nick Rose."

    heavy weapon team squads are a vector strike delight
    "The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age."

    I think engineseer is bad ass if you take sponsons on tanks with ordinance weapons. Battle cannon and 3 HBs all shooting while moving 6" is nothing to scoff at. If you are planning on gun line-ing it without sponson weapons (missed opportunity if you ask me) then engineseer is pointless. Personally I am a little disappointed that Scout sentinels didn't drop in points; armored sentinels are an alternative to HWS... Which aren't serpent shield bait.
