I fear the ridge runner is going to go the same way as the orks cool vehicle models, about 100 pts and will fall down to a stiff breeze on the table. Tho it will look super cool while its on the table for a turn. lol, well I'm used to all the GSC units dying to a stiff breeze, so I'll have to buy at least two! (hell 100 points is a STEAL compared to what I'm paying for rockgrinders now!) I'm most excited for a cultist with a drill not being more points than a terminator. That will be awesome  |

Hmm, the one time I remember encountering IG-style mortars (which I assume these would be similar to) I recall them being rather damaging annoying (to my infantry-based army) because they were sitting on the opposite end of the map and hiding while plinking away at me.
Main benefit that I see with these guys is unlike IG mortar squads, they can rapidly get to somewhere else in case the enemy has a deep-striker or something aiming to take them out.

Those pistols! 6 shots hitting on 2s and gaining extra shots for every hit. so like 10-12 shots, He'll be doing some serious damage!

Not to mention the “add 3” to his rolls for Cult Ambush; guaranteeing you never get any less than a 4 result on the chart.

yup... that's what makes him crazy... fish for 5's/6's on the chart so you can show up within 9" and shoot when you arrive, then shoot again in the shooting phase. 12 S4 AP-1 D2 shots might not actually kill a support character.... but I'm thinking 24 should do it  ...of course til people go back to bubble wrapping things again |

It may put a small dent in mine as well. Some of those characters look pretty nice. The Jackal packs too!

It feels like you are gonna need a million cp to pull off all these tricks. Also I don't see how your ambush effects a gun line style army in any way

Well it allows the Cults to box in the opposing army while attacking with melee forces. Getting locked into a corner/section of the map can be a very bad things for gunline/vehicle heavy armies.
And depending on unit point cost, you might be able to bring along a couple of battalions/a brigade which covers the CP costs.
