Equipment
Carachters may purchase a Stasis Field:
The bearer and the unit get a 2++ save as long as they are “Gone to Ground”, but the WS and BS are reduced to 0.
– The heavy grav cannon is Salvo 4/6. So a unit of 3 Kataphron Destroyers (165) shots 18 grav shots. Not bad at all.
There are 4 formations:
1x Dominus
2 Kastelan Robot Maniples
Kastelan protocols have an inmediate effect when chosen
For every Datasmith and Dominus one Robot may fire to a different target.
Dominus and the 2 maniples are a single unit. Dominus may not abandon the unit.– Elimination Maniple
2-3 unitos of Kataphron Destroyers
1-3 Kastelan Robot Maniples
If one Robot inflincts one unsaved wound or a penetrating hit with a weapon with the Luminogen SR, the rest of the formation gains +1BS and ignore cover when firing to that unit.– Numinous Maniple
2-3 units of Fulgurite Electro-Priests
2-3 units of Corpuscarii Electo-Priests
If a Corpuscarii unit is at 6″ or less of 1 or more Fulgurite unit, they gain +1 shot when firing. If one unit suffers one or more unsaved wounds, it is considered “electrified” until the end of turn.
If a Fulgurite units attacks in CC to an “electrified” unit, they reroll to wound
– Holy Requisitioner
1 Dominus
2-3 Kataphron Breachers
Deep Strike
They have to stay in Reserve. When deployed, the Dom¡nus does not scatter if deployed at 6″ or less of an objective marker. Breachers do not scatter as long as they arrive at 6″ or less of the Dominus.
They have the Zealot and Counterattack SR when at 6″ or less from a objective marker.
Some of these seem really powerful, especially those canticles. I think they apply to the Knight that can be taken in thei formation they have too. Very cool stuff
