= Thoughts on {{PAGENAME}} =
=== {{PAGENAME}} in a nutshell===
Incindiarii set everything on fire! Whatever gets hit by the template burns - the template missing is frequently better than hitting. An excellent unit for burninating infantry.
 
=== Combos & Synergies ===
* [[Tyrant Commander & Standard Bearer]] give them extra speed.
* [[Croak Raiders]] - Have these suckers black oil your enemies and set things on fire better than Menoth himself.
* [[Basilisk Krea]] and [[Agonizer]] - Extra durability is good on everyone, but especially on models with middling defences.
 
=== Drawbacks & Downsides ===
* 3" AoEs that hit only hit one target as most tournament players have devices to set their spacing up for this.
* AoEs that miss take a while to resolve, which gets annoying.
* Low model count
* Don't make the mistake of thinking they are actually hard to kill; ARM 16 and multiple wounds mostly protects them against POW 10 shooting, blasts, and auto-wound effects like [[corrosion]]. Two POW 12 shots or a boosted POW 12 (e.g. from charging) will on average rolls force a tough roll. But being able to survive anti-infantry tech is itself useful
 
=== Tricks & Tips ===
* It doesn't matter that much if you miss; that template's going to land ''somewhere''. And set whatever's under it on fire.

* Cataphract Incindiarii loosely means "Armored Scorchers". Cataphract comes the Greek word Cataphractus, which means "fully enclosed." Incendia means scorch / burn / brighten, plural incendiarii, active noun, meaning those who ignite.

Model Advantages and Abilities

Tough
Tough
When this model is disabled, roll a d6. On a 5 or 6, remove 1 damage point from this model; it is no longer disabled and becomes knocked down. While knocked down, this model loses Tough.

  Errata-Tough on 4-5-6 (2023-6-22)
Question: If a feat or ability says when a model "makes a Tough roll of 4,5, or 6... that model can remove 1 damage point," does that mean the model gets to remove 1 damage point from that ability PLUS another damage point from the Tough ability?
Answer: No, you only remove 1 damage point.
Explanation: You will only heal one point of damage due to [Madrak's] feat

Dual Attack
Dual Attack

This model can make melee and ranged attacks in the same activation. When this model makes its initial melee attacks, it can also make its initial ranged attacks. A model with Dual Attack can make its initial melee and ranged attacks in any order you choose. This model cannot make ranged attacks after making a power attack.

  Errata-Dual Attack and Unit Charges (2023-10-27)
Question: If a unit with Dual Attack charges a single model, are all placed in melee range, and the first model kills the charge target, can the remaining members of the unit make ranged attacks, or do they forfeit their Combat Action because they don't have any enemy models in their melee range?
Answer: The check for melee range is done at the end of movement. If you kill the targets before they attack, they can still do their ranged attack. (Malkav13)
Explanation: This post is correct.

  Errata-Dual Attack and Special Attacks (2023-08-10)
Question: Can a model with Dual Attack make any combination of ranged special attack and normal melee initial attacks, or its melee special attack and normal ranged initial attacks? (Example: Bison Both Barrels and Ram, or Mariner Thresher and gunshot).
Answer: No.
Explanation: The bison can not use dual attack and also make a special attack. That is correct in that (Thresher) example too.

Unit Rules

A unit is a group of models that band together. They've got special deployment rules and activation rules.

  • All models of a unit are Trooper models.
  Errata-Unit-Advance (2023-12-07)
Question: When something triggers because an "advancing enemy model that ends their movement" is within a given distance something, and the enemy model advancing is part of a unit, does the trigger only affect the moving model, or does it also affect the troopers that are placed?
Answer: Only the model moved counts for triggering when something advances into an area.
Explanation: We are aware of the situation. Currently looking at what the wording of the feats should be as well as the bigger question at hand here. For now it would be just the models that actually moved, not were placed. This is just for these right now amd not looking at other aspects of unit movement. When there is any update for wording i will post. As stated until we have a wording update this ruling is applying here. So for now just the model that was actually moved and not the ones placed will be affected.
