You can take the previously mentioned cult mech detachment from Imperial Agents to get two more cheap
You will struggle with maelstrom though, so be aware of that. Throw a unit of the 1950s robots in for solid shooting and punching, and you have an army that is very tough to kill and shoots like a beast. Cawl with breachers can hold your battle line and make deep strikers and units trying to assault your russes pay for it, and the other battle servitors are solid. To me, if you want to run this, I see the Armored Company from Mont'ka being your imperial guard force, then spend the rest on Cult mech. And Cult Mech units are not bad, so you can build an army around him, but your going to have to make some hard decisions on army composition. He is a bit easier to kill with shooting though. This is doable, and Cawl is great if you want to basically deny slay the warlord, as he is very tough to kill, at least in CC. So now he is actually getting more expensive. The other main problem is that you are going to need quite a few Cult Mech units to actually get worthwhile canticles buff, as you'll need 4+ units to get the better results. And unfortunately he cannot repair or give Power of the Machine spirit out.
But it only has a 12" bubble, which while not tiny, still means if you want him to be buffing your vehicles, he has to baby sit them, and the vehicles will need to stay relatively clumped up, making them susceptible to high strength low ap large blast weapons. The other knock against him is the Canticles of the Archmagos. I personally almost always want strategic traits. The big thing, or two really, that puts him a step down as an IG choice is that he is best when he is warlord, so that he can reroll his FnP, but you could still take him as an HQ and someone else as warlord. Greyfax is the cheapest at 150, the others are 200, but all are pretty reasonable for their price, though I think Greyfax is a little spendy for what she brings, but still doable.Ĭawl, is simply a tank, and good in close combat, especially against weakly armored low toughness hordes with his mechadendrite hive, plus having a power ax or arc maul. I won't go into details of each statline or special rules as I have already done that in previous posts.įrom the first book we have three solid characters in the form of Cawl, Celestine, and Greyfax. There are quite a few good options and a couple are just ok, but workable. With the gathering storm series at an end, I want to go back and to take a look at the Imperial Characters again and go over the strengths for an Astra Militarum or Tempestus army.
