Pathfinders are the most efficient way in terms of points
to get Markerlights on the table, so chances are you'll see
more use of these previously neglected teams with the renewed
Markerlight potency. Yes, you still have to take a Devilfish
with them, but that can actually be a good thing as mentioned
before. Though Pathfinders can still take Rail Rifles, the
new Sniper Drone Team option might make this type of Pathfinder
rare, as it removes a valuable Markerlight from the pool.
Another neat feature of Pathfinders is their new Marker
Beacon special rule. Now you can reroll Scatter dice
for
Deep Striking units if a Pathfinder's obligatory Devilfish
has line-of-sight to the intended landing zone. With the
game-changing
impact
that Deep Striking can have, anything that helps you
control it better is desirable, especially from a safe distance.
Plus, the Pathfinders have the Scout universal special
rule, which can give them perfect battlefield placement to
use
their Markerlights in the first few turns. |
