List Review
I am eye balling Mechanicus. I’d like to keep it purely Martian with the exception Coteaz.
So the idea is to have everything on the table turn 1. The Unit of Dragoons would be out in front to occupy space. Dragoons’ have a 4″ base and unit coherency of 4″ between models allowing them to provide a 44″ screen for the army giving the army a 5+ cover save. On the first tirn I would have 8+ units on the table. With CotO O would ne able to get a 2+ cover save for the army turn 1. The Dragoons seem like they would provide really get assault or counter assault with 24 str 8 ap 2 attacks on the charge, amd easy str 10 with CotO.
I feel like the area occupation will cir down on maneuverable armies ability to get aroumd.
I am nor sure if I should go with 3 units of destroyers or drop one to beef up the skitarri units.
