List thoughts. All punch, no shoot

Lists & Gameplay Discussion

I know we aren't well known for melee, buuuut we have a lot of really punchy units that don't get a lot of love. So I threw together a data psalm, lords of the forge melee glass cannon list. I've played it a bit and it kind of slaps, lots of moving parts, huge damage potential, and opponents really don't expect world eating out of some skinny bois.

I generally stick to conqueror and pick the melee boost for data psalm. It gets a bit clogged on board but if you manage the pace of pushing units it seems to work.

Biggest issue is choosing which disposition to run. Disruption and priority don't really lend themselves to the list but I don't have much choice
