Missed out the Gets Hot on the Kakophoni.
They're still good, but with assault 3 it gives you a lot of chances to roll those 1s.

I do not know if you are going to mention the legacy PDF but the Palatine Blades have a variant that has jump packs. While I do agree with how well some of these units do in combat, I find that the phoenix terminators are going to suffer against other terminators due to them having no AP 2 weapons, unless you roll high to wound. However, one of the greatest combinations that I can think of is having sonic shriekers on a unit that is WS 5 is very good. If it is given to Lucius then your opponent is hitting on 6s which saves him from other characters such as Sigismund or Abbadon for at least 1 round of combat. Thank you for the video.

Any idea what line option is top tier for them? Maybe pride of legion terminators or 3rd company elite Kakophoni. What about between tac, despoiler, or assult?
