Engineers and Servitors

[Deleted]

Hi guys,

Just wondering wether Tech Priests and servitors are worth the points. When you think about it a Tech Priest is the same price as a commissar with a power weapon, which cant be good. Then with servitors it brings the unit to just under 100 points without upgrading any to sevitors to carry heavy weapons. Sure the unit fixes damaged veichles on 2+. But is this worth it.
All feedback would be appreciated

Thanks,

Karskin.

I think if you have 3 leman russes rolling in a formation it'd be good. less than that and the engineseers value decreases proportionally based on how many tank treads are in the neighborhood.

i agee with turle boy it depends on how tanks youv're got.

I been getting along ok with them the last 2 battles I was in.

first fight I lost a demolisher to a lascannon hit on turn one, a basilisk on turn to to wolf scouts, and the other demolisher turn 3 to the very same wolf scouts. it was a pretty miserable day for heavy support, and one that having an engineseer wouldn't have changed at all.

last fight saw my tanks unscathed till one got rocked on turn 6 - basilisk got overran and exploded magnificently - again, no use for an engineseer. could have used the engineseer on the left flank MAYBE where I had a couple chimerae and a hellhound. one of the chimerae could have used a immobilization fix on turn 1 but yeah - not enough to warrant an enginseer.
