Think you forgot about the army rule of the EC, advance shoot/fallback and shoot and charge. That plus the +1 to hit (often) pushes the EC one to top two with CSM

EC is the best id say. Giving it advance and shoot and advance and charge, along with hitting on 2s rerolling 1s is nuts.

The EC defiler dramatically changes how EC plays. Can be more patient now and can pick up units for pledge points without throwing away expensive units. Plus advance and charge on a unit which moves 12! 30 inch threat range!

Death Guard being able to deadly demise auto explode for 1CP for D6 mortal wounds is soooo scary

I played 3 games with one today as EC. Absolutely kicks ass in shooting and melee.

DG will be the best going into 11th. Stripping cover will be insanely good. And auto hitting flamer and flail is going to be my go to.

The overwatch with the world eaters one is pretty cracked.<br>Like over watching a transport with rapid fire then shooting the unit because it set up this turn lol.
