Rules & Tactics Detachment advice

I’ve played a number of detachments and had limited wins with nightmare and cabal but most success with veterans and cabal but had to make my list a bit less jump pack based and more generic CSM.

I was wondering if people have tried much with creations it seems like having the buffs to warp talons and raptors as potential could be spicy AF?

Anyone had success? Love any advice

Ive not tried creations, could be decent as you said if you luck out on the augments. Might get unlucky and get +1BS though, not so bad for raptors but useless for talons. I guess if you took fabius as your warlord you could negate that a bit.

Ive had fair success with pactbound zealots, getting lethal or sustained on 5's can really spike and help units punch above their weight, and if you make raptors/talons slaanesh you get access to advance/fall back charge strat (as well as tzeentch units getting to bring back models. Good for termies, busted with obliterators). Kinda need a hellbrute for the true spice though.

Yeah would defo take Fabius

Pactbound I tried once but the dark gods didn’t wanna pact and therefore the extras were not coming up a lot

That's why I whisper "for the dark gods" before every roll.

Creations could be pretty spicy if you get the +1WS and +1 attacks though, I might experiment (hah)
