I know I can put in a third Inverter and upgrade(?) The Galvanizer to a Diffuser, but I find rough terrain on demand to be too awesome. The Galvaniser can be used to Bulldoze. With a boost, a flare and a re-roll the Diffuser can be remarkably accurate even with Axis' RAT 2.

Just need to finish painting the TEP's and Axis.

Looks fine to me. Those boots are made for walking, and that is what they'll do if you let them. Your choice of servitors is odd, though. I would have gone with Elimination servitors instead of Reflex, but I agree with the minefield complex that goes on with all those counter-chargers.

Hippity Hoppity, get off my property!

But why so many Attunements? IMO the TEPs do not need so many attack roll assistance. I found out that even a couple of Elimination Servitors can be very helpful.

Attunements can be a huge help for TEPs even though the TEP can boost. With a Flare, then the TEP might have the option for either another shot or boosted damage instead of having to "waste" a servitor on a boost.

Mostly I'm playing against armies without 1-wound infantry. It's either multi-wound or beasts, so Elimination aren't all that helpful to me. Flare+Reflex can put the hurt on.

Most games you only need 1 Attunement group. By the time they move up and get into position you are ready for the alpha and likely only need to hit 1 or 2 key enemy models. I usually station 1 next to each TEP and then 1 in the middle of my battlegroup. If you are bringing the Cipher as well then 3x is over kill. You should maximize the Reflex servitors and then bring Eliminations for the rest.

That said I think Axis does better with more Galvanizers. They are tough little bots that can jam and survive 1 or 2 punches from a heavy.

I don't know about the Diffuser though, the SPD boost from feat is probably enough, but if you've had experience with D and need more distance, go for it.

My regular opponent has, unfortunately, realized what Attunement servitors can do and makes a point of trying to kill them.

As such I usually need more than one unit to have Flares available over the course of the game. The list of Servitors isn't fixed, that's just what I threw in so I could account for all the free stuff. I'll probably change it to be 2x Reflex, 2x Attunement and 1x Elimination.

You're right in that I could Flare with the Cipher, but I'd prefer to have him in Melee beating things up if possible.

Ultimately, I wanted to take double TEP and then I built the rest of the list around that.
