You're not likely to be seen at the front lines with this beast, so you're not so pressured to take Regeneration.

	*'''Support Platform:''' A bit of an oddball, being Slow yet having Strider. The ~~gauss cannon~~ is essentially a double gauss rifle (swappable with a ~~flux cannon~~), while the real star of the show is the ~~twin flux cannon~~. Both of these guns are mid-ranged, so grabbing Regeneration here isn't a bad idea.		*'''Support Platform:''' A bit of an oddball, being Slow yet having Strider. The Gauss Cannon is essentially a double gauss rifle (swappable with a Flux Cannon or Ray Caster if facing planes), while the real star of the show is the Twin Flux Cannon. Both of these guns are mid-ranged, so grabbing Regeneration here isn't a bad idea.
	**~~Overseer:~~ The twin flux cannon can be replaced with a ~~full overseer~~ for a massive discount. This overseer can take all the upgrades available on foot, but the big question would be why. Why would we want to make this weapons platform into a melee tank when there's no reason to do so? That's where Royal March Order comes in, allowing one unit within 12" to move at normal speed each turn. This can turn your artillery platform into a giant buff platform that your forces can rally around while your royal warden can escort a priority unit.		**The twin flux cannon can be replaced with a an Overseer Pilot for a massive discount. This overseer can take all the upgrades available on foot, but the big question would be why. Why would we want to make this weapons platform into a melee tank when there's no reason to do so? That's where Royal March Order comes in, allowing one unit within 12" to move at normal speed each turn. This can turn your artillery platform into a giant buff platform that your forces can rally around while your royal warden can escort a priority unit.

	*'''Spider Walker:''' ~~The antimatter cannon here is a beast~~, ~~made~~ to ~~mulch most armored mobs~~, ~~and it's on a Fast platform~~ with ~~Strider. You can also grab~~ up ~~to two antimatter rifles~~ in ~~order~~ to blow up ~~some more~~ mobs ~~as well as Regeneration, Gloom-Protocol for more spell-denial and a Bot-Fabricator so you can spawn bot swarms out of thin air~~.		*'''Spider Walker:''' While not fast like other walkers, the Spider Walker has some absolutely monstrous Twin Fusion Ray to total tanks. Its alternatives are no slouches either, with the Twin Gauss Cannon to handle lighter tanks at long range, the Twin Atom Shredder to carve up opponents in a rain of hits and the Twin Exterminator Cannon to blow up mobs.

	* '''Tripod Walker:''' The atom-beams give you a bunch of short-range AP 1 shooting, which is fairly handy. You can also buy Reanimator, which lets a friendly unit within 12" have Regeneration trigger on a 4+. Because this requires you to be fairly close, you'll see some incentive for buying Regeneration.		* '''Tripod Walker:''' The atom-beams give you a bunch of short-range AP 1 shooting, which is fairly handy.

			* '''Death Fortress:''' Holy crap. This thing is expensive as hell and it has a lot of features. It has a lot of guns to throw around between the gauss machineguns and the heavy antimatter cannon of anti-hordes, it's tanky as hell with Tough 18 and it's able to carry 21 models, which is madness. It's even able to Ambush and has Strider (held up by Slow) so it's not bothered by terrain.

	*'''~~Spider Robot~~:''' ~~To call~~ this ~~the big brother of the spider walker is kind of a tough call~~, as it's ~~functionally identical aside from costing more, putting Regeneration on~~ a ~~higher pricetag and being Tough 6~~. ~~Really~~, ~~one has to wonder if~~ the Tough ~~values of~~ the ~~walker~~ and ~~robot were switched around?~~		* '''Fortress of Destruction:''' No. Just no. If you're taking this, it's for a massive game. Otherwise, you're dumping 900 points into the most insane WMD ever. All those guns, Tough 24, Ambush and Strider, this thing's a giant bullseye for all the heavy weapons to fire upon it. In fact, this thing is so expensive that you can buy it Psychic (3) and get REFUNDED points! Okay, it's because those spells are replacing the Destruction Pulse made to flatten tanks, but that's still an insane thing to consider.
			* '''Prison Monolith:''' For an insane pricetag, you're getting a mob-eradicating artillery tank that can also double as your most powerful psychic, capable of casting three times each turn (though any natural 1s you roll result in 3 wounds). If you're fielding multiple of these, you can also buy a Technoward so that if the first fails a psychic check you can have the wounds accumulate on the second.
	*'''~~Night Transport~~:''' ~~Your flying Transport is already pretty good~~, ~~and having a twin flux cannon gives~~ you a ~~literal storm~~ of ~~shots to blow stuff up~~. ~~With how aircraft are~~, ~~it's~~ a ~~bit of~~ a ~~waste to even consider Regeneration~~.		* '''Wraith-Shard:''' A massive unit and your most powerful psychic at the rare Psychic(2). Its melee attacks provide a literal barrage while its Nanobot Shards let it take down monsters (or swarms if you bought the Void Shards) and being 2+ in defense with Tough(12) and Regeneration means that it won't die to anything short of concentrated laser cannons.
			** Great Wraith makes it even more monstrous, adding more to its Tough Score as well as another array of melee attacks exclusively for monster-killing. Taking Wraith Seer is more supportive, as it gives a friendly unit within 12" a +1 to Regeneration rolls on top of new weapons to combat hordes.
	*'''~~Doom Fighter~~:''' ~~The night transport swaps~~ it ~~Transport capacity~~ for ~~a death beam~~, a ~~really powerful piece of artillery that anyone would consider~~ a ~~threat for their AA and Aircraft~~ to ~~take~~ on~~. Regeneration's a good option here~~.

	* '''~~Death Fortress~~:''' ~~Holy crap. This thing~~ is ~~expensive as hell~~ and ~~it has~~ a ~~lot of features. It has~~ a ~~lot~~ of ~~guns~~ to ~~throw around between the gauss machineguns and the heavy antimatter cannon of anti-hordes~~, it's ~~tanky as hell with Tough 18 and it's able~~ to ~~carry 21 models, which is madness.

			*'''Night Transport:''' Your flying Transport is already pretty good, and having a Twin Flux Cannon gives you a literal storm of shots to blow stuff up. With how aircraft are, it's a bit of a waste to even consider Regeneration.

You can guarantee~~ that anyone ~~that sees it will be targeting it with glee, so Regeneration is an investment that can go very far in protecting it.~~
	* '''Wraith-Shard:''' A massive unit and your most powerful psychic, starting at Psychic(2) and ~~Psychic Master~~ to ~~let it cast THREE spells each turn at the cost of each failure costing 3 wounds~~. ~~Its melee attacks provide a literal barrage while its Nanobot Shards let it take down monsters (or swarms if you bought the Void Shards) and being 2+ in defense with Tough(12) and~~ Regeneration ~~means that it won~~'~~t die to anything short of concentrated laser cannons.~~
	** Great Wraith makes it even more monstrous, adding more to its Tough Score as well as another array of melee attacks on top of its existing array.

	*'''Death Fortress:''' Pretty much your superheavy, a giant floating monolith with Slow but capable of Ambush. Its primary weapon is the Atom-Shredder, a rapid-fire cannon that cuts through any armor it sees, with the optional Destruction Pulse making it better against monsters. Next is the Gauss Arc Array, which provides a truckload of Rending shots, all of which can be replaced with a Flux Sphere Array for AP(1) and Poison.		*'''Death Fortress:''' Pretty much your superheavy, a giant floating monolith with Slow but capable of Ambush.

	*'''Robot Snakes:''' Truly a threatening unit. Their paired melee weapons pack plenty of Rending and they have Strider and Tough(3), so they are very capable of getting in position to strike. You can even buy them a Twin Atom-Caster or Death Gaze for cheap short-range shooting or Whip Coils to make those attacks take down heavy units.		*'''Robot Snakes:''' Truly a threatening unit.

	*'''Destroyer Snakes:''' Actually not the same as the Robot Snakes above, least of all by having Tunneller to let them Ambush the enemy before ripping them up with AP(2) Dual Reaper Blades. You can make one of them more of a can opener with an AP(4) Heavy Reaper Blade, while a Plasmabot can provide a bit of overkill by applying Rending (though Rending won't mean much to the big blade).		*'''Destroyer Snakes:''' Actually not the same as the Robot Snakes above, least of all by having Tunneller to let them Ambush the enemy before ripping them up with AP(2) Dual Reaper Blades.

	*'''Tri-Scorpions:''' While technically similar to the Destroyer Snakes, these guys trade off the Ambush power for 3+ defense for up-front survivability. They can also take up a bigger blade on one model as well as the add-on of Rending, though the options here are tempered by the possibility that they might be kited around by a savvier enemy.		*'''Tri-Scorpions:''' While technically similar to the Destroyer Snakes, these guys trade off the Ambush power for 3+ defense for up-front survivability.

	*'''Annihilators:''' Ambush and Strider make them a good bit more mobile than most, all with the same survivability as the Tri-Scorpions. While the Dual Hyper Swords make them handy in melee, you can also purchase Gauss Cannons for the whole squad for some heavy firepower. From there, one model can then buy a Heavy Gauss Cannon for tank hunting or a Ray Cannon if you're looking to get through cover-campers.		*'''Annihilators:''' Ambush and Strider make them a good bit more mobile than most, all with the same survivability as the Tri-Scorpions.

	*'''Tri-Scorpion Pistoleer:''' The Pistoleer is made to just pop in at one spot with Ambush and then fire like a fiend with Hunter, equipped with SIX AP(1) Disintegration Pistols and Relentless to cash in a few more shots with good rolls. Essentially made to be your surprise box full of death where the regular Tri-Scorpions are entirely up-front, and the snipers would never dare leave cover.		*'''Tri-Scorpion Pistoleer:''' The Pistoleer is made to just pop in at one spot with Ambush and then fire like a fiend with Hunter, equipped with SIX AP(1) Disintegration Pistols and Relentless to cash in a few more shots with good rolls.

	**All of the upgrades it gets make it more of a support monster, with the most obvious being the ability to replace an Atom Beamer with the Repair rule, making it incredibly useful with all the Tough units and vehicles you can field. On top of that, you can either purchase Psy-Resistance for Gloom-Protocol's blocking power if you need some extra, and the Bot Fabricator gives Release Swarm, which lets you build extra Bot Swarms on every activation, without limit. If kept alive for long enough, this can make the spider a menace to handle just because of all the bubble wrap it just spat out.		**All of the upgrades it gets make it more of a support monster, with the most obvious being the ability to replace an Atom Beamer with the Repair rule, making it incredibly useful with all the Tough units and vehicles you can field.

	* '''Heavy Annihilator:''' So, you saw the Annihilator and needed a tougher anti-something guns platform. That tougher equates to a very welcome Tough(6) and the Heavy Gauss Cannon to blow up tanks. If you're looking to blow up mobs, the Exterminator Cannon provides a few small blasts to eradicate them while the Ray Cannon can get them even from behind cover.		* '''Heavy Annihilator:''' So, you saw the Annihilator and needed a tougher anti-something guns platform.

	===Heroes ===		===Heroes ===
			*'''Robot Lord:''' Your generalized lord. While lacking in outright power and only Tough(3), this version of the Lord has a broad list of upgrades available to it, to say nothing of its ability to accompany transports.
			**''Melee:'' You start out with a basic CCW, but you can easily swap it and the Gauss Pistol out for a Combat Staff for AP(1) both in melee and at range, which is decent for a balanced build. If you intend on taking a shield or one of the special guns, then you can get that same AP(1) as well as Rending by buying a Hyper Sword. Aside from that, the Void Sword grands better crowd control, the Phase Glaive lets you rip through high defenses, and the War Scythe is to help nail heroes and monsters. If you need more attacks, then you can grab a Technoslave for A3 AP(1), though this is mutually exclusive with the jetpack.
			**''Shooting:'' The basic Gauss Pistol is only notable for having Rending, which is given up by buying the Combat Staff. If you really don't care about shooting, you can instead replace that for a Combat Shield for Shield Wall. The Wrist-Flamer and Wrist-Laser short-ranged but powerful options at shockingly high costs, as is the Heavy Reaper Rifle.
			**''Personal Upgrades:'' Psychomancer installs Gloom-Protocol, which provides a cheap way of blocking spells without needing to go all-in for Psychic, as you would if you bought Technomancer for over twice the cost. Chronomancer provides Shadow-Protocol to give an attached squad Ambush so you can drop in a surprise block of warriors to blast a weak flank. Overseer gives Royal March, and thus the most direct buff to your troops by boosting their speed. The last is Warden, which gives Regen-Protocol to boost the survivability of a key unit.

	*'''~~Tri-Scorpion Overseer~~:''' If you're ~~looking for~~ a ~~straight-up beatstick of a hero, then you~~'~~ve come to the right place. Strider makes it more mobile and it~~'~~s tougher than~~ the ~~base Overseer, while~~ the ~~weapons it~~ has ~~let it flatten units~~ in both ~~ranged combat~~ and ~~melee~~. The ~~devastator blade~~ in ~~particular is tailor-made to turn heroes into paste~~. ~~If there were to be~~ a ~~weakness~~, ~~it would lie within~~ the ~~price tag - At 235 points~~, ~~it's not~~ the ~~cheapest and you'll need to ensure that whatever else you bring (If you~~ can~~. Not really~~ a ~~question in lower point games) will support more than it can kill~~.		*'''Annihilator Lord:''' 100 points over the base Robot Lord for +3 to Tough, Ambush and Strider. Fortunately, they can take most of the upgrades available to the Robot Lord without issue aside from the loss of the Jetpack (dubious because you're effectively as good as a flyer) and Technoslave.
			** ''Melee:'' While you can take the other options that the Robot Lord has, you also get two exclusive choices, though both trade in both the pistol and the CCW. The first gives Dual Hyper Swords to provide a barrage in melee alone. The other gives a Combat Staff and Hyper Sword, allowing you to actually shoot while costing you Rending on half the attacks.
			** ''Shooting:'' Aside from all the guns already available, the Annihilator Lord can also purchase a Heavy Gauss Cannon, helpful for annihilating tanks.

	*'''~~Annihilator Overseer:''' Not as expensive as the~~ Tri-Scorpion ~~Overseer, but it looks more akin to a normal one - only with Tough 3, Ambush and Strider. While your basic staff is serviceable, you~~'~~ll likely be tempted to replace it - doing so will strip you of shooting so you'll probably want to grab a wrist-mounted flamethrower or the very expensive laser cannon since they~~'~~ll always work.~~		*'''Tri-Scorpion Lord:''' If you're looking for a straight-up beatstick of a hero, then you've come to the right place. Strider makes it more mobile and it's tougher than the base Overseer, while the weapons it has let it flatten units in both ranged combat and melee. The devastator blade in particular is tailor-made to turn heroes into paste. If there were to be a weakness, it would lie within the price tag - At 220 points, it's not the cheapest and you'll need to ensure that whatever else you bring (If you can. Not really a question in lower point games) will support more than it can kill.
	**Melee: As mentioned, this overseer comes with a staff that'~~s serviceable in both melee and at range.~~ If you're ~~not~~ looking ~~to shoot much~~, then you ~~can exchange~~ the ~~staff for a free hyper sword for AP 1~~ and ~~Rending. The void sword provides a doubled number of attacks,~~ the ~~phase glaive gives a tank-rending AP 4~~, ~~and~~ the ~~war scythe offers AP 2 Deadly 3, made for working over monsters.~~		**The other concern is its static loadout, as you can only buy the personal upgrades the other lords can purchase. The Annihilation Gun in particular might be a weak spot, as it only deals small blasts, which might soften up a key enemy, but won't mean much to any monster worth their weight.
	** Shooting: The base staff offers a decent if short-ranged ~~attack~~. The ~~only other ranged weapon option that isn't a wrist~~-~~mounted is the heavy gauss cannon, a monstrosity of a gun~~ made to ~~fry monsters and tanks~~. ~~That said~~, ~~this option is still quite costly and can be easily filled in by the annihilators.~~

	*'''Overseer:''' Over half the price ~~of the other overseer variants~~, ~~but you~~'~~ll see~~ the ~~obvious downsides: It's Slow~~ and ~~is only Tough 3, so~~ you'll need ~~a squad~~ to ~~hide this guy in. It also lacks any special improvements aside from the ones to its staff and wrist-mounted guns. Considering how much Slow will hinder~~ you, you~~'ll be turned off from going for a better melee choice unless you opt for a transport~~.

	*'''Technomancer:''' Likely your chief choice of hero - Not ~~only does this guy give you buffs for your troops, but they~~ can ~~also act as psychics~~.
	**~~Shooting: While you have the same staff~~ as ~~the overseer,~~ you can buy ~~some better shooting to bolster it. The Flame-Protocol gives you a lot of short-range attacks,~~ the ~~Dread-Protocol gives a middle of~~ the ~~road option, and the Solar-Protocol gives the best range at AP 3 and Deadly~~.~~..for one shot.~~
	**Additional Protocols: Gloom-Protocol gives you additional anti-psychic measures and doesn't overlap with being a ~~psychic in itself. Nightmare-Protocol gives Fear - You're not that powerful in melee~~, ~~but maybe~~ it~~'ll work for a unit that is. Darkness-Protocol grants an entire unit Ambush, which is quite the piece for a good unit.~~
	**Personal Upgrades: While a jetpack sounds tempting, do remember that you'll still be hampered by Slow, so you'll likely be stuck with jetpack guardians. Bot-Master grants Psychic, which ~~is quite powerful considering how costly your other is - though that one can be far stronger. Regen-Protocol boosts a unit's Regeneration score to a 4+. You can also add~~ up ~~to two Technoslaves if you're really looking to jump into melee.~~

	*'''Warden:''' A straight, no-frills hero. This guy totes a ~~heavy reaper rifle~~, which is essentially an improvement over the warrior's reaper rifle, as well as a heavy CCW that's more than enough to handle melee if necessary - however, these are the only weapons available. What gives him an edge over the overseer is the Royal March ability, granting an attached unit a normal movement speed. You can expect to see plenty of use by making a special weapons squad made to blow up your chosen enemies.

	*'''Nanobot Wraith-Shard:''' A massive unit and your most powerful psychic. Its melee attacks practically spell death for anything it's engaged with and being 2+ in defense with Tough 12 and Regeneration means that it won't ~~die~~ to ~~anything short of concentrated laser cannons~~.
