So I’ve gone up against several impressive VSD II builds, given their recent resuscitation by disposable capacitors, and I’m wondering if anyone has played around with the warlord title.
Warlord: you get to turn an Accuracy into a side showing a hit (double hits for red, and guaranteed damage on blue).
Jonus: while a ship is attacking something at distance 1 of this guy, you can turn any die to an accuracy.
^and right there we have the wave 1 combo for getting Double Hits out of Warlord without using the turbolaser slot for H9 Turbolasers.
Dual Turbolaser Cannons: while a red die is showing an Accuracy, add another red die set to Accuracy.
^and right there, we have a guaranteed way to maintain an Accuracy while using the extra red die for a Warlord conversion to a double hit.
Expensive? Yes. But it gets more long range firepower than an ISD through disposable capacitors, and Jonus is like H9 Turbos for all your ships. The only downside to this setup versus the wave 1 setup is that Warlord doesn’t get auto-damage against squads with H9s.
Thoughts?
