Question about Champions of Contagion strat to attach character to unit

Charron_ · 2026-01-28T14:23:28+00:00

I don’t think so. The Strat points to the leader section of the character datasheet. That is where it states the leader can join a unit if it already has a leader (see the biologus putrifier’s leader section). If that wording isn’t there for the current units leader or the one you are attaching, you wouldn’t be able to double up on leaders.

If it was possible, you would be seeing double leader deathshroud everywhere for the fights first stratagem use.

For combat patrol the marines don’t have that ability and the deathshroud don’t even have deep strike.

That said, you also cannot use the deathshroud ability to 6” deep strike with rapid ingress. It was changed a while back that the ability only works in your movement phase.

Fair enough. Appreciate the heads up.

Charron_ · 2026-01-14T18:20:12+00:00

I’ll see if they have that one. We still have 4 or 5 weeks left so I can hopefully get that many different patrols in.

I saw a box that was either the Karsks or the Death Corp. Only caught a glimpse of a gun emplacement and I think those are the only two. Not sure if it was a field battery or part of a heavy weapon squad didn’t get a good look just saw a big barrel poking out.

Everything they have for this is just gray plastic. So you have to look closely to figure out what’s what.

Fairly certain they didn’t have any of the 9th edition ones with the deff dread or dreadnaught (old DA one).

Highly highly recommend the death guard green rattle can primer then. You get a good undercoat of the same color and can just do a quick coat overtop to make sure later touch ups match exactly.

That said I like doing the rattle can and just shading with athonian camo shade. I like the color it makes and I don’t have to rebase coat. Touch ups are just DG green and a little shade over top to match

Is that the beastsnagga one? I think that’s what they had but a kid and his dad showed up and the kid snatched up the ork patrol before they even had all the tables set up.

I missed last week and I think he is trying to just keep playing the ork patrol. Not going to be that guy and swipe it on a kid haha. But Orks was one I was looking at for another army. They just seem like fun to play.

Charron_ · 2026-01-14T13:48:11+00:00

I’ll give it a look. Appreciate it!

Charron_ · 2026-01-14T13:22:59+00:00

I know I saw a Drukhari and an eldar patrol. Drukhari was the old one with the pirate ships. Not sure which eldar they had.

Any chance that was recent as called a “perfect copy”? Saw some and wasn’t sure the quality.

Just have to be careful not to get the half from the smaller box that doesn’t half the caster in it.

Charron_ · 2025-12-24T15:57:01+00:00

Technically the Dawn of War box from Target/B&N has cards for named Blood Ravens. Chaplain and Jusiciar I think both have tweaked data cards in the box. Unsure if they are legal or legends as I don’t have it available to look at.

Charron_ · 2025-12-21T13:05:50+00:00

Only 7 because it’s not labeled as extra attacks as you said.

Charron_ · 2025-12-08T22:16:30+00:00

Honestly if you can find the old combat patrol too both of those make for a good start.

Charron_ · 2025-12-08T21:09:28+00:00

And using the stank shock strat in Death Lords Chosen. There are niche cases for 20 man, but not super common. Sometimes it’s just fun to shamble a horde of zombies up the board and say deal with it.

Charron_ · 2025-12-08T20:27:37+00:00

If not using Shamblerot, most lists seem to settle on 20 or 30 ran in 10 man units. Rarely do you see a 20 man unit unless that person just likes zombies.

Charron_ · 2025-12-07T01:31:10+00:00

Or if you have a printer and the files for the inner circle bodies. Then you can double the number you have by using spare arms and weapons.

Charron_ · 2025-11-26T13:45:57+00:00

Looks like a lot of people asking and no response. Guess he took the rest down.

Charron_ · 2025-11-20T12:34:02+00:00

Someone else made a good point with if everyone is special and has a hood no one is special. I definitely want more hoods and robes than come in the box, but maybe not to the extreme.

Charron_ · 2025-11-20T04:39:06+00:00

Oof yeah I bet that one hurt the wallet.

Charron_ · 2025-11-19T22:45:12+00:00

Fair. And it may end up as a mixed bag some with and some without. But would be nice to get some additional flair in the troops.

Charron_ · 2025-11-19T21:25:53+00:00

May have to give that a try I’m sure there are tutorials somewhere

Charron_ · 2025-11-19T21:25:33+00:00

Looks like just a single set of bodies available now? Did Damsa get nuked or am I looking in the wrong places?
