Scoring secondaries usually requires you to be in the midboard anyway. Scoring primaries, or denying your opponent primaries, definitely requires you to be in the midboard. So why not send your auxiliaries up into the midboard to do those things, and while they’re at it they just give the rest of your army +1AP against anything nearby while they do it? It means not sacrificing your spotters or gunline units to score points. That’s where that OC enhancement shines. Sending up a 65 point unit of 5 Vespids with 2 OC each means taking pretty much any point and forcing… Read more »
Ok look. On the one hand i dont play auxiliaries cause i know painting them would be a chore. Thats literally the only reason i don’t.

So another stealth suit unit and something like T’au earth caste combat engineers* (+Devilfish variants) might be needed first to make those ideas viable? Generally, I’m happy with the non-mecha/gundam parts of the army being fleshed… Read more »

Better late than never 😉
But, in all seriousness, props to you guys for working so hard to get these out every day.
