Any reviews on using the dataslate formations like Skyblight Swarm?

Not at the moment, unfortunately, as I don't own them. I've seen the rules but I don't know the full picture on all of them. Similar to how I haven't done reviews for any of the codex supplements, I'm going to wait until I own the data-slates before I review them. Sorry!

I've added Carnifexes in on Page 3, down near the bottom. They got the most attention of any unit I have done so far in the history of Imperator Guides!
I might be taking a little break after them for a few days to a week, so don't expect Biovores in two days. Sorry!

Thanks for all the support guys! We are officially in the home stretch now, with only 6 unit reviews left! Huzzah!

Biovores have been added in at the bottom of Page 3; enjoy! Sorry for the delay!

Just some thoughts on carnifexes and some examples of how they can work really well.

I played in a 1850 tournament and I took 2 units of 3 fexes, 2 dakkafexes and 1 stock. The stock one was up front and was there to absorb wounds, that way if they did do 4 unsaved wounds in a turn, I would lose that one versus a dakkafex. Its a lot of points for a meat shield but it can save your more expensive ones and if it doesn't die, you can still move it to the back and play wound allocation games with it. Then if all 3 live, its a huge punch on the charge.

Don't forget about onslaught! It works so well on dakkafexes. Use it on them on turn one and you can move 6, run d6 and fire 18 inches, that means you are in range on turn 1, even if you go first! I explained to all my opponents how it worked and yet in all my games on turn 1 I could get some really nice shots off. In game one a dakka brood (so 24 TL S6 shots) and both my flyrants focused on his seer council on turn 1 and I killed like 9/10 of them or something before they could move.

In the next game I was facing a 3 wraithknight army. I lost a full dakkafex brood on his 2nd turn but was able to tie up 2 of the knights with guants and then the other dakkafex brood would assault them and with 3d3 HOW attacks and then 13 charging attacks at S9, AP2, I killed 2 knights each in just the charge! I won both games mainly due to fexes, but with the upgrades the 6 of them were almost 1/2 of my 1850 points.

Yeah using a bare-bones Carnifex as a foil for two Dakkafexes is definitely a good idea, no question! Cheers for the input, and nice to hear your Carnifexes have been serving you well!
