Similar to the Hive Vanguard this formation features the ultimate in “we’ll be back” abilities, the can really give both warriors and scrarab farms a HUGE advantage!
Similar to the “fury of the legion” special rule from Horus Heresy, this formation can really unleash the dakka on the enemies for the imperium once and for all. Don’t forget to upgrade the Venerable to all shoot weapons as well!
