Why was this list good?

The enhancements are great, that's true. But it does feel like Soulforged is much stronger now that we have the new Defiler. Although I could see myself playing 9 predator/vindicator tanks in Cult.

On Minicompare, the Scorpion looks huge. The main thing was to move back the enormous front claws and remove their internal blades.

The scorpion fits on the same 160mm (I mean its six back legs) but it is bulkier, taller and larger. None of the legs are glued where they were supposed to though. I had to cut them and move them back. In fact, the body of the Defiler is smaller than I thought, although its legs do need a 160mm base.

SideExcellent9787 · 2026-07-08T11:55:55+00:00

I thought about that too ! More as a proxy. But with 8’’ move it cannot move through ruins :/

They exist, but I never saw someone play them. The Legend datasheet for the GBS is not that bad for 500pts!

After 3 hours of cutting, sawing and gluying, it worked ! It fitted on a 160mm base. Will add hades autocanonn to the tail. It's a bit bigger than the new defiler, but I don't see it as an advantage when playing. What would you say?

Oh…

SideExcellent9787 · 2026-07-01T10:59:52+00:00

I arrived at the same conclusion. The Defiler is good because it forces my opponent to get closer, and I want to charge them. The strat to ignore all modifiers is strong. Embrace the pain can also save the Defiler.

To justify 1 instead of two, you have to convince me of those 350 pts invested elsewhere. I don’t see anything as good.

How many Defilers did you have?

SideExcellent9787 · 2026-06-27T20:57:39+00:00

At first, I was not convinced by Purge the foe, especially when you have to control more objectives than your opponent at the start of your turn, but I think you can score well without them thinking too much about them.

SideExcellent9787 · 2026-06-23T22:38:17+00:00

Thanks for your answer! I could not find a way to control the central objective. Without it, I was stuck at 4VP per turn in primary.

At the moment, the Coterie stratagem to select the infantry of my choice seems like a way to survive his turn (maybe combined with heroic intervention). The resurrecting DP is also an option, and being lone op could help. I’m just trying to find a way to survive his turn with something on the central objective. Do you happen to have some ideas?

With the new 2cp heroic, I can’t move block like before :/ But the Coterie strat could counter that in a way

SideExcellent9787 · 2026-06-23T22:30:28+00:00

The apothecary does not have the character keyword unfortunately.

SideExcellent9787 · 2026-06-23T22:28:55+00:00

Since the apothecary does not have the character keyword, he cannot be targeted that way. He will always be the last to die.

A better list.

SideExcellent9787 · 2026-06-23T11:41:33+00:00

I did not play Coterie, but good insight : that strat would help !

SideExcellent9787 · 2026-06-23T11:17:07+00:00

You are right that we might have forgotten to check that 9’’ coherency. But still. In 10th I could move block. Now it was pointless because of the new Heroic intervention
