Pheasant rank

Pheasant rank, an other unit with nice statline.

Phesant rank brings on the table ,some important things for imperial , but lets see if they can come as an essential unit or not.


cc22 together with martial arts level 2 is fine. even he cant add +3 from martial arts level 3(since he is level 2 ) still he has critical chances. strangely low ph value is not represent in male model coming with starter. ph is 10. wip 14 is good value for a specialist. arm 2, bts 3, not bad. bs is 12.

Pheasants are free agents with fireteam duo. so they can swap army group without command token and allows to move 2 of them together.

Costs of the units are starting from 29 to 36 points. on specialist base, there are a few chain of command options and a hacker variant.

variant with mad traps is interesting. there are mad traps, chain of command skill. combi+emitter is a nice tactical weapon.



most important variant looks like the red fury option, with the chain of command option for 36 points and 1,5 swc. :( . so even this looks like a good option, in haris it doesnt give you many options. you will take 2 baotroops with her. there will be one or two options for you designing your haris team. haris option and having 5 burst shock weapon is strong but the problem is there is no variety at all.

for using solo, an other idea is boarding shotgun, the cheapest unit with 29 points :( , comes with shotgun and chain of command skill to wait in your deployment zone, when hsien rampage starts. ph 10 with a stun grenade ?

5 man bao link is a strong link. and you can have a pheasant inside. this is nice. you can use hacker variant and any chain of command variant here.

i still have no idea to find a place for sniper variant . maybe inside of a 5man link, he can be a stong unit, but you will spend your points on a specialist most of the time if you design a 5man bao link.

on design base, i believe pheasant rank doenst have the synergy of other troops have. there are many nice units there waiting for you in army list and most of the time you cant find many points to use on them.

if pheasant rank has a killer hacker variant, could be great with that martial arts ability and free agent skill . but no. he could be 29 point unit. he could be a reliable unit, that can be taken time to time.

pheasant rank has skills, abilities, stats that you can not synergy with other troops easilly. units could be designed better with stats they have. nice wip 14 can be used for a flash pulse, a dcharge here could mean something with nice martial arts ability. if there is a ph value of 10, cant understand the meaning of a stun grenade at all.

there are still some nice variants there that you can consider in your lists. but in imperial there are more shiny units to choose among from.

i give pheasant rank a hardly earned 2 black dragons.
