Cataphract Incindiarii Skorne Unit

Warriors of peerless discipline, the incindiarii march at the fore in extremely heavy armor. Their incindi discharge chymical rockets that roast alive men and beasts alike in a terrible conflagration. Any who survive this onslaught and attempt to countercharge find themselves facing the incindiarii’s skillfully wielded blades.

Thoughts on Cataphract Incindiarii

Cataphract Incindiarii in a nutshell

Incindiarii set everything on fire! Whatever gets hit by the template burns - the template missing is frequently better than hitting. An excellent unit for burninating infantry.

Combos & Synergies

• Tyrant Commander & Standard Bearer give them extra speed.
• Croak Raiders - Have these suckers black oil your enemies and set things on fire better than Menoth himself.
• Basilisk Krea and Agonizer - Extra durability is good on everyone, but especially on models with middling defences.

Drawbacks & Downsides

• 3" AoEs that hit only hit one target as most tournament players have devices to set their spacing up for this.
• AoEs that miss take a while to resolve, which gets annoying.
• Low model count
• Don't make the mistake of thinking they are actually hard to kill; ARM 16 and multiple wounds mostly protects them against POW 10 shooting, blasts, and auto-wound effects like corrosion. Two POW 12 shots or a boosted POW 12 (e.g. from charging) will on average rolls force a tough roll. But being able to survive anti-infantry tech is itself useful

Tricks & Tips

• It doesn't matter that much if you miss; that template's going to land somewhere. And set whatever's under it on fire.

Other

Trivia

• Cataphract Incindiarii loosely means "Armored Scorchers". Cataphract comes the Greek word Cataphractus, which means "fully enclosed." Incendia means scorch / burn / brighten, plural incendiarii, active noun, meaning those who ignite.
• Released in Hordes: Gargantuans (2013)

Rules Clarifications

Rules Clarification : Fire      (Edit) If you deploy in fire hazard terrain (Burning Earth), then you get set on fire before the game starts. Deploying a model in a hazard counts as being "put into play" in the hazard. Being put into play counts as "entering". When you enter a hazard, you trigger the hazard. Moving into "Shallow water" standard terrain does not cause continuous fire to expire. It's magic fire. You can always use non-standard terrain if you agree with your opponent before the game starts, however. A weapon can inflict continuous fire without itself being a fire damage weapon (for example, the Helios's fists). In this case, the attack can hurt models with Immunity:Fire it just won't apply the continuous effect. In terms of which player's clock is running down during the Maintenance Phase: The active player will roll for expiration of all the continuous effects. Then the inactive player will roll for all the damages of the continuous effects. (Judge Ruling)

Rules Clarification : Combined Ranged Attack      (Edit) CRA cannot target models in melee ... unless the target is a huge-based model or the attacker has War-Tempered. If you give the attack-leader a buff to their attack (such as Guidance) then that buff applies to the combined attack (even though the other participants don't have the buff). (Locked thread) Assault & CRA (Edit) You cannot mix Combined Range Attacks with Assault shots, as CRA works during your combat action and Assault shots occur before it. (Infernal Ruling)

Rules Clarification : Tough - None yet. (Edit)
