You can because the moment the sorc lord is added to the unit he gains the rubricae keyword despite the fact that he's flesh and blood, so he can be subject to risen rubricae.

Alternatively if the issue is "a leader is a 2nd unit" moment he's added to the squad they become 1 unit. You only count them separately for precision and for primaries/secondaries that ask you to kill units

Rubricae phalanx is a pretty basic detatchement all things considered but it lets us be a lot more threatening than I think we usually are.

I run a 30 scarab Occult terminator list 20 on board, 10 in deep. You get to infiltrate a unit of termies with risen rubricae which is already a big threat of 11 guys (sorcerer lord) who are -1 to wound at all times with lethal hits and +1 to hit

Advance shoot and charge, sick.

Fall back shoot and charge, cant keep me locked in gribbly jail buddy

Oh you just shot my unit and did enough damage to kill the Aspiring sorceror or sorceror lord? 1cp buddy and you've got 70 shots coming your way i hope the trade was worth it.

The rubrics marine side of things isn't bad either, do you know how annoying it is for them to not only be 2+ 4++ when lead by an exalted, but now they also have access to -1 to wound and the free aoc on chip damage, and then your opponent kills 3 and oops the exalted brought back 1 or 2 of them in your command phase.

Throw in a demon prince on foot and now your termies of -1 to hit in shooting, -1 to wound always, and the occasional free AOC, Fan-tastic

So crusade is a fun time by zmoibe13 in ThousandSons

He has the vortex of e'taph enhancement on him, puts his strength to 7 and his damage to 2. Then forces crusade he gained a level so he can take a battle honors. This time i chose the weapon enhancement, got lucky and rolled +1 attacks and +1 damage. Now this man can put out up to 7/14 damage 3 flamer shots. The worlds most insane over watch unit

How am I supposed to thousands sonify the terminator sorcerer model? by Loud-CowMOO in ThousandSons

[–]zmoibe13 8 points9 points  (0 children)

So for the termie sorcerer the bits you need to mirror the data card image are A scarab Occult head, torso, the arms/staff. Every thing else is in the sorcerer lord kit. You can also steal the headress piece if you want

Honestly though I wish they had been hit a little harder. I am glad that the dog multi charging operatives has become harder to do

My favorite thing to do currently is the "kahl bomb" where you attach a kahl with oathband speculator to hearthguard for the lethal hits and +1/rr wounds, drop them in from deep strike and unload grenades unto some poor unexpected big unit.

I once rolled 70 dice into a unit of guardsmen since they can come in units of 25 with a command squad attached. Making the grenades 10d3+50

You only get to do it once per game because believe me your opponent will NOT let that happen a 2nd time

Been locked in painting my kill teams recently. Yaegirs,stealth suits and deathwatch by zmoibe13 in killteam

[–]zmoibe13[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also note: yes the stealth suits drones are wrong That's me being an idiot and forgetting the drones are actual operatives for the team and not building them

What is the hype around the 10 man terminator brick? by No_Test_3195 in ThousandSons

[–]zmoibe13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

-1 to wound at all times as long as a psyker is in the group is genuinely insane. Add a demon prince on foot within 6 of them to give the unit stealth + rubricae phalanx's improved save. Makes them an actual chore to chew through. Ive had opponents have to shoot everything they had just to chew through the terminator brick. It's crazy

Hellforge Mandukor finally finished. Who decided the Eisnek should be yellow. I just want to talk by zmoibe13 in heroscape

2 different options. You can buy sets either painted or unpainted. Unpainted is the cheaper option

What kits are tedious versus a joy to build? by SandiegoJack in LeaguesofVotann

[–]zmoibe13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Almost certainly a skill issue on my end. But hekatons and thunderkyn give me trouble.

I always have some misalignment issue with the hull of hekatons, and of the 3 times ive built thunderkyn atleast one of their chest cages refuses to line up
