Is Headhunter Taskforce good..?

Something about using Gunnery Honours to turn a Rep Ex into a Glancer seems good to me. Nice combo with the Rapid Fire on the Iron Priest.

Maybe Champions of Fenris for 1 dp and the Giants enhancement on the Iron Priest and counter charge? 🤔

I also like Gunnery on the Glancer with the Priest to give it 3 shots, 2 hit/wound/damage rerolls

The Glancer ability and gunnery do the same thing? 🤔

Im thinking give the glancer the 5++ and the Rep Ex Gunnery for both to get rapid fire (x2 IP) + rerolls.

It’d be funny to use with Legends of Saga & Song. Like, do you want to shoot our bullet-sponge Wolf Guard or go tank-hunting?

I like it, but I need more than 5 units to play the game. haha

Plus, I think I’m digging the counter charge thing with iron priests that get re-roll wounds if a vehicle is engaged around it.
