They're straightforward, but the squad size of the intercessors limits their effectiveness and the range of the inceptors means anything they shoot is quite likely going to be charging them next turn, or they're in range of retaliatory units.<br /><br />I liked using mine, but as an effective force on their own I think they need to wait for more unit types to become available.<br /><br />I'm not saying they can't be effective, but target priority is huge and a canny opponent can force them into a no-win situation.Triple Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18002702481127525157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5766430862052117520.post-29770849361192916872017-06-30T15:59:59.885+01:002017-06-30T15:59:59.885+01:00They do look like they dont need the most complica...They do look like they dont need the most complicated of tactics to use in a half decent way for sure.

The Captain/Hellblaster combo you mentioned was absolutely brutal, as the squad were able to take out just about anything they targeted when overcharging.
