My blog is primarily my own personal fluff in the Warhammer 40,000 universe regarding the Draconis system such as the Knight House Yato in Ryusei, their Household Militia, the Draconian Defenders, and the Forge World of Draconis IV with its Adeptus Mechanicus priesthood, Cybernetica cohorts and Skitarii legions, and the Titan Legion, Legio Draconis, known as the Dark Dragons.

I just realized something

I just realized something very important.

Under Matched Play Rule: Command Squads, it says "if you're playing a matched play game, then in a Battle-forged army, you can include a maximum of one <REGIMENT> Command Squad in a Detachment for each <REGIMENT> OFFICER iin that Detachment.

That means you can include a Command Squad for a Tank Commander because he has the Officer keyword! You aren't necessarily restricted to Company Commanders or Platoon Commanders! You can spam plasma Command Squads if you take a Tank Commander, even if you don't have enough Company Commanders or Platoon Commanders!

Total: 573, 1 Command Points
Grand Total: 2,000, 6 Command Points

Does this change anything? Nope...it does not. Oh well. But it's better than nothing! In the end I'm still taking 1 command squad per commander (company or platoon). No space for a 3rd command squad, but it will be fun to get it sooner rather than later. I hope.

Now this abuses the Officer rule by including a third Command Squad for the Tank Commander. Will it work? I have no idea! Maybe the Taurox Prime would be more useful than a 3rd plasma Command Squad, but we'll never know!

But if I need some anti-horde firepower, I should change to this. I also feel that the above list has way too much plasma and I overdid the plasma command squad spam. So I'll throw in more anti-horde firepower instead of relying solely on plasma.

Does this look better now? It should have everything from anti-horde to anti-vehicles. And plasma is pretty flexible, or so I hope. Anyway, we shall see!

Of course, I can swap the Officer of the Fleet for a Tech-priest Enginseer.

At least I will have someone repairing my Shadowsword now.
