Fyreslayers Hearthguard Berzerkers with Hermdar lodge are even tankier. 40 wounds with 5+ save for 400 points versus 30 wounds of Phoenix Guard with 4+ save for 420. Berzerkers can be immune to battleshock near objectives or in enemy territory and too get 4+ ward save when they have a hero within 10 of them. They are much slower than PG though and if you snipe out the heroes, their ward save becomes a 6+, which makes them quite squishy. So I do think that Phoenix Guard should go up in points though, they are too good right now. Phoenixes are fine though, they are quite tanky, yet if compared to meta monsters they deal pretty low damage.

It’s only like 3 units with variation. The entire army doesn’t get that. Despite my love of phoenicium (actually painting my army their colors), it doesn’t really provide that much besides an overpowered command ability that can only be used by a Phoenix. But the other temple units (guard and foot anointed) honestly work better in other cities - pheonicum is about letting your fodder get mulched, while the Phoenix guard are all about not dying

General gets wounds deflected to HONORED RETINUE with 4+ invlun saves, Adjutant gives extra CP, then with Hammerhal Command Ability: Righteous Purpose the Phoenix Guard get to attack again.

Nice Batrep 👍 One question, the wake of fire ability from the flamespyre triggers on a normal move. This should also function on the retreat move or am I wrong. So you could simply fly over the ship, bring the bird in a safe spot and on a 2+ the chemist dies.
@Johnny-Thunder

Yes a 'normal move' is any move in the movement phase, including runs or retreats. I think in this battle the CoS player would have been better off with three Flamespyre Phoenixes. Think of them as B-17's just flying over enemies dropping their Wake of Fire all the time, not caring about melee combat because they're not very good at that. A Frostheart Phoenix I think should be used as support for melee cavalry.

@@Jewus19 Well, my experience with the game is relatively limited, so I'm not familiar with all of the double-fighting or always fight first shenanigans out there. The double turn has always been very unpopular in my group, but since we all just play low-tier melee armies, it's not too bad. This is the first time I've seen an all-shooting AoS list, and the fact that your opponent can easily get an entire second round of shooting you can't react to, and can shoot into combat without incident or disadvantage... yikes. Like, that single roll for turn order will determine whether you take X Damage, or 2X Damage before your next turn... which is absolutely bananas and would probably lead to me never playing against a heavy-shooting/magic army while this rule still exists! X_X I'm sure many will say that shooting isn't top-tier, that there are counters, etc. I'm just saying, regardless of whether it's actually unbeatable, the perception that your opponent gets to play twice in a row, without the mitigating factor of alternate activations that's meant to somewhat temper the combat phase, just doesn't seem fun.
