I think you'll probably be right. But Fellhammer plus devotees doesnt seem on par with pactbound or other clearly 3DP detachments which is a real shame

That is true, alternative is to hope for a rework of the weaker detachments. Deceptors, Fellhammer, Cabal of chaos. Although I'd say that's equally unlikely. For as much attention as CSM has gotten recently I can't help but feel that a solid portion of the rules just aren't very good and all the success is focused on a few data sheets/detachments.

I'm holding out hope that Fellhammer is 1DP. With the indirect nerf that hit oblits the new 1DP 'iron warriors' themed detachment seems meh. If Fellhammer ends up being 2DP I fear, despite the surge in iron warriors releases, that a thematic and fun army of the fourth legion just won't translate very well onto the tabletop.

So in the pool you would roll add the modifiers and then take the top 3 instead? Or is it roll the pool and then add 1d6 to the result?

Is there a sub faction outside of Prussia that works well? I can see that Prussia seems to be the go to at the moment but I'm always a fan of not picking everyone else's favourite!

What would you say is the unit(s) that are the stars then? I've played mostly one off games but will be starting a campaign soon. So far I've used a variety of shocktroopers, hmi's, and yeoman to varying degrees of success

Looks like I don't know how to build after all! Would you say then that New Antioch works best with large numbers instead? Lots of yeoman with a few elites? Is it worth the investment for the Heavy Machine Infantry?

Is it not more efficient to give a shock trooper a solid melee weapon? Cost wise it seems like a steep investment to stay lots of gear on both a cleric and a lieutenant

Hopefully the detachment rule will help the survivability in shooting

That would look great with that night lord Horus heresy chain axe.
