I believe the idea with 'Taking over Control' is that it splits your list into Specimen and non-Specimen units. You can kill you own non-Specimen units, essentially giving you the ability to deny your opponent those 9 VPs (and only get to use 901's Tactician value, while removing Rampage from all Specimen units save the Aberration). Any Specimen models killed while this Specialized Operation is in play would still give your opponent VPs for those 12 VP's worth of profils (+1 for each spawned Hellhound). Not sure how good this would actually be, very thematic though. Looking forward to building these guys, plus the Eiras Contract. Loving that the Star Saga collection is getting a bit of love after all these years!

@ClaudioMacShepherd4 ай бұрын
@@TableTopTransformer No, but you might loose the tactician from Koyner and the backup tactician from Graves. Getting VPs for killing your own (and denying to the opponent) is great, but you risk to loose too much models without harming your opponent. Also you reduce the number of models that can use the keeping them in line splat" rather quickly, so no more extra move (which can trigger assault actions as normal by the way) or pinning removal through that splat. Also you don't get any of the other effects from other special operations. I think this one could be very tricky to get the most out of it, but you can gain very much from it (and deny any rampage)
@ClaudioMacShepherd4 ай бұрын
Just something about charged: charged only gives you +1 on your move, not on your sprint stat. So you can't move 4 cubes with it, that would be insane :) but it negates being pinned or you could still shoot and move 3 cubes for example (or use medic and move 3 Cubes)

The Eiras Contact is a bunch of C-D tier models that are elevated a rank higher thanks to their spec ops. This army fully depends on Plot Armor so Best Meds is indeed the best ability and there must be something really convincing to choose anything else. Hornet Drop is nice if you won recon, less useful if you go second but really versatile nonetheless. The last 2 are the most situational but at least you have now answer for both gunlines and heavy armor spam.

Don’t forget the magic number is 3. For things like jet bikes, monocycles, peacekeepers, drones, anything like that. If you max the unit at 4 for example, the opponent has to kill 2 and can cause a breaking nerve check. If you take 3 they will still have to kill 2 but at least you aren’t losing 2 guys on a nerve test .

I love the Chovar and its ability to hurt high armor infantry is awesome but if you think about it, it’s 5+ so roughly 4 hits per shooting action, and most high armor infantry is stuff like forge fathers and enforcers who have good nerve. So realistically you’re doing maybe 2 or so wounds which is great but not gamebreaking. I do think it’s strongest asset is no LoS though l, that’s really powerful. Love the run down, keep it up!
