Post subject:  Skitarii v2.00
Here's the latest version of the Skitarii list (It's packed along with the AMTL list).

This is a big change from previous versions, giving the list a much tighter focus on the iconic Mechanicus elements: The Ordinatii, the Skitarii, and the Praetorians.

I strongly felt that the v1.xx series had failed to deliver a properly themed list, and was too generic/IG in style. Those units that have been removed from the list can generally be proxied to counts-as something that remains, however, such as Shadowswords counting-as Ordinatus Minoris war engines equipped with Volcano Cannons, etc.

Changes for v2.00:
Removed all four SHT’s.
Removed Chimeras and Hydras (Replaced with Rhinos and Hunters)
Removed Russ Vanquishers
Increased extra infantry upgrade cost from 75 to 100pts.

(Plus probably some other stuff that I've forgotten!)

Page 1 still lists v1.13 for the Skits. Otherwise looks good at first glance.

Fixed.


One thing I noted was that the previous version of the list (3.18 / 1.13) had been downloaded almost 400 times in the 4 months since it was posted. I think that's cool.

The Unit descriptions need updating: p7: Mechanicus Chimaera entry not removed. p8: Stormblade and Stormsword entries not removed. No entries for Hunter, Rhino.

When I tried to download the list I got the following message:

Thanks for this update!

Could the Leman Russ Executioner's Plasma Cannons be brought in to line with the Demolisher's Plasma Cannons from the Minervan list (AP5+/AT5+ is much easier than AP4+/AT4+ Slow Firing)?

The Minervan list is basically an approved list by now so there is a good president for this change.

Slow Firing on non-War Engines is more hassle than it's worth.

When listing the Ordinatus flavours, you use the phrasing "One Ordinatus Minoris (Select its weapon from the War Gryphons army list)".

This suggests you just pick a weapon, and there's no need to pay for it.

Strikes me that it'd be less ambiguous to phrase it something like "One Ordinatus Minoris (Purchase its weapon from the Titan Weapons sections of the War Gryphons army list)".

Other than that, the list is looking good.

Out of curiousity, has anyone actually used the Mole Morter or Rapier units? I don't seem to ever see them show up in the lists and I've never really considered them myself.

Did the AA HB on the minorus go away as well?

Whilst I do agree in priciple with the stat change, I'd like to have the (new) IG champion's call on this one before pushing it through.

Agreed, with thanks.

I've never really seen them used either. A points drop could be considered.

It got forgotten, and will go into 2.01 which will be put up very soon.

Interesting - I'm slightly disappointed they have no skimmers, but this is a PDF force, not an explorator force so it's understandable.

I'll give it a proper read through later

Three Ordinatus Minoris (Select their weapons from the War Gryphons army list)


At a guess this is from either the "Scout or Battle Titan Weapons" or/and the "Battle Titan Weapons" sections?

It is not clear.
