A great ability for armies that rely on 0″ movement speed. Except your opponent has to stand in their own deployment zone for literally the entire game. Two mortals and change for free? I’ll take that. Fallout Effects 1/4 of the Boardįallout averages 2.6 mortal wounds over the course of a game. Give Admech units a Charge Bonus (fights first) when fighting them. Or reducing the cost of stratagems used when shooting or fighting by 1. Maybe grant rerolls instead of a modifier. If a BS/WS modifier is too much, change it to a hit roll modifier. And we’ll get back to the “Irradiated” thing in a moment. The opponent is practically glowing with radiation, after all, why shouldn’t they be easier for our targeting computers to hone in on them. A ballistic skill or weapon skill cannot be improved to better than 3+ in this manner.Īn ability like this would help shore up our terrible shooting (which we’ll also get to). Add 1 to the ballistic skill or weapon skill of attacks that target irradiated units. Rad-Cohort – Irradiated: While an enemy unit is Battle-shocked, it is irradiated.

You don’t even have to wait for the their first turn to be at a disadvantage. If you’re going against Dark Angels, you unlock a whole host of buffs with functionally no downside. If you are going against Adepta Sororitas, then they can choose for 2/3 of their army to start with a +1 to hit bonus on all their shooting. If you are going against Necrons, then it does nothing more than granting them a little extra maneuvering with reanimated models. Sometimes this detachment ability will do nothing, but it can be worse than doing nothing. Take your time to figure out how to use my own rules against me. This isn’t even a passive detachment ability, it’s an ability where you gift your opponent the benefit of choice. Your opponent gets to make all the decisions. Where do I even start with this thing?
