![]() If the Tactical Doctrine was active for your army during the previous battle round, you can change it so that the Assault Doctrine is now active.If the Devastator Doctrine was active for your army during the previous battle round, you can change it so that the Tactical Doctrine is now active.From the second battle round onwards, at the start of the battle round, you can change which Combat Doctrine is active for your army, as follows: During the first battle round, the Devastator Doctrine is active for your army. After pounding the foe with heavy weapons, warriors advance to lay down a hail of bolter fire before charging forth with chainswords roaring to finish the foe.If every unit from your army has the ADEPTUS ASTARTES keyword (excluding AGENT OF THE IMPERIUM and UNALIGNED units), this unit gains a bonus (see below) depending on which Combat Doctrine is active for your army. I recognize the fact that certain lists it would have a place, though I don't play those kinds of lists.When the Adeptus Astartes fight, they employ a set of combat doctrines to eliminate the enemy. IMHO, Whirlwind Scorpious > Sicaran Arcus. I have a lot of experience with artillery and Scorpious though. ![]() ![]() I have no practical experience with the Arcus, as no one in my meta has one. but that's a pretty tall order for a tank that has to have line of sight to its target for two turns. The Arcus gets 8 shots when it doesn't move. If you specialize the tank and your opponent doesn't bring the unit you specialize for, you just wasted those points- points you could have spent on multi-melta upgrades for your Rhinos, or a P-fist on your Sergeants. If you bought all those warheads, you'd have a 270 point tank- more than a Land Raider without it's durability. ![]() The Arcus has to pay points for all those special warheads, which are nice, but they make it into a "Jack of all trades" tank. Everything it shoots is a S8 AP3 3" blast, and when it sits still, it can fire 1+d3 of those shots. It doesn't require line of sight to shoot. You can field two Whirldwind Scorpious for the price of one Arcus. ![]()
