So the desperate allies check never really comes into play. (Play a little fluffy that the templars are fighting in orbit, and the sisters have to hold the line before they can come and help).<br /><br /><br />I imagine if you could join a priest to a templar crusader squad...it would be a bit "fun" and overpowered :).greggleshttp://www.feedyournerd.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5655986553938534450.post-89178961647586473752014-05-01T14:12:11.256-04:002014-05-01T14:12:11.256-04:00Interesting that ignoring certain rules has led to...Interesting that ignoring certain rules has led to overpowered instances.<br /><br />Nevertheless, I'll completely agree that the allies matrix needs a rework, not the least of which begins with removing battle brothers. Past that, the Tau and Grey Knight matrices are the most serious offenders.Corvus Sanguinenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5655986553938534450.post-37496925727094848572014-05-01T14:08:31.119-04:002014-05-01T14:08:31.119-04:00You are sadly correct.

The series was designed to explore brothers and convenience allies.

I use the templars to handle the chopping, and the sisters to handle the shooting. The two synergize nicely together. I had one opponent call the combination "overpowered". As handling that many exorcists, seraphim, immolators, and then ironclads, stormravens, stormtalons, and crusaders gave them fits!greggleshttp://www.feedyournerd.com/noreply@blogger.com
