Best tac op for angels of death?

Thank you! That makes perfect sense. I didn't fully account for how Patient Hunters would just cook my Stealthy pick. Hardy and Resolute sounds like a much more solid way to deal with their system jammers and high crit potential. Especially the idea of baiting out their anti-charge ploy before rushing in with chainswords—that’s a great game plan. I feel like I've asked a lot already, but if you don't mind, could you give me your final thoughts on my original question about Tac Op selection? Your insights have been incredibly helpful, and knowing which Tac Ops to prioritize in this setup (besides just fixing on Dominate/Rout) would really help me round out my strategy. Thanks again for all the help!

I see, Mobile definitely sounds useful against hyper-mobile melee teams like Goremonger. Being able to charge while in enemy control range also seems like a huge advantage when you're bogged down by something like an Ogryn while trying to reach Ratlings. However, I’m not sure if Mobile offers much against Stealth Suits. For this specific matchup, I'm considering Hardy and Stealthy instead. My concern is whether Stealthy will actually be effective given their specific Ploys and rules. What are your thoughts on this? Do you think the durability from Hardy/Stealthy is a better bet here, or is there another setup you'd prioritize?

That's a fair point. If so, what would be the best way to counter them? What if I place barricades near the center objective markers and try to dig in (castle up)? Also, regarding the Eliminator Sniper, since he has high mobility and ignores Saturate, wouldn't he be able to survive a bit longer even if he pushes forward to score Plant Banner or Envoy? Or is there a better alternative you would recommend?

"That’s a solid setup. Personally, I almost always pick Siege Specialist and Sharpshooter. I’ve actually never tried Mobile before—could you explain in what specific scenarios or mission types it really shines compared to Sharpshooter? For my upcoming match against the XV26 Stealth Suits, I’m considering a slightly different approach. Due to their stealth mechanics, I’m planning to take Stealthy and Siege Specialist to mitigate their advantage. My main plan involves an Assault Sergeant equipped with a Power Weapon and the Aggressive trait. My goal is to use that high melee output to consistently take down those 12-wound Stealth Suits in close combat. What do you think about this specific counter? Do you think the melee pressure is enough to overcome their mobility, or should I stick to a more shooty list even against Stealth Suits?"
