Rant Session
List Review
The fire warriors camp on top of the bastion to avoid assaults and markerlight stuff for the riptide and hammerhead, the fireblade mans the quad gun, wraiths and destroyer lord intercept assaults and run interference, the warriors in the scythes are for quick point caps, pathfinders for more markerlights, Pathfinders hang out inside the bastion proper and markerlight whatever they feel like. I’m sure there’s a few things that I need to be modified, and I’d love to hear your guys’ view on optimizing this thing! Have a great day.
