Exchange unit are my Adeptus Ruststalkers:
Spoiler Alert!
My original playtesting rating put them at an A-. I'd like to see if that holds up or if they are too strong. ~TAF TAF was the Storyteller... in THE ENEMY'S LAST RETREAT |

I have a couple questions for you, though. First, if you think the Ruststalkers might be a little over-tuned, would you rather have me run them against other top-notch units or against weaker armies that would tend to be routed by top-notch units? Second, is there anything from your original playtest that I should know? Things like good partners or counterplay that isn't immediately obvious would be great. |

As far as the Ruststalkers, you can throw whatever you want at them: be it armies of your choice or well-known high-tier armies. Their ability to jump over screens makes them pretty nasty, so feel free to throw them through the wringer if you see fit. There aren't really great combo partners that I could think of, other than Raelin (since they can ignore an opponent's Raelin granting them an advantage in the Aura game). I think a lot of my playtests paired them with Marro Drones due to being cheap and swarming, good for cleaning up should the Ruststalkers do enough damage. Good counterplay in my playtests were using a single unit to foil Covert (if a Ranged Squad can't hit them due to Covert, send one of them down to within 3 Spaces before attacking to negate it). Solid Bread-n-Butter squads can also beat them (any decent melee squads at 70 Points or less can trade against them easily, many of which get 5 Activations due to Bonding). ~TAF, off to practice TAF was the Storyteller... in THE ENEMY'S LAST RETREAT |

I'm posting a little later than I had hoped, but I enjoyed using the unit. I thought that they were versatile enough that I could gauge their power level fairly well without fighting Raelin, but I can run another game against her if you'd like. |

Re: Custom Unit Playtesting Exchange
I'd +rep you if I could. Thanks for playing, I'm glad you enjoyed using the unit.
I'm glad they lost to the massed commons despite the Transonic Blades working against both squads fielded. That's supposed to be their greatest weakness. Since 3 squads seems like the most powerful option, I think I may bump them to 120 or so to make it more difficult to do so reliably. ~TAF TAF was the Storyteller... in THE ENEMY'S LAST RETREAT |

Re: Custom Unit Playtesting Exchange
I have time this week if anyone has a unit they'd like me to play and report on. I've got plenty of playtest options I would like to see run.
