So I don't know how many of you are following the Blindwater CID but there was a recent change that now allows Lynus and Edrea to work for Retribution as well as gain some cool new abilities. I think they would actually go really well in Ret any was wondering what you guys thoughts were. For those of you who do not know here is a list of their abilities as CID currently stands.
Pts: 5 Lynus - RNG 10 POW 11 Rifle First Aid (*Action) - d3 heal Applied Knowledge (*Action) - Warrior model gains precision strike.
Edrea - RNG 10 POW 11 Rifle Magic [7] Wind Barrier (*Action) - Edrea can not be targeted by non-magical ranged attacks, Lynus too if within 3inches. Wind Burst (*Attack) - RNG 10 AOE 4 POW 12, cloud effects under the AOE are removed Zephyr (*Action) - Everyone in the unit advances 3inches True Sight

I'm intrigued so far. The ability to make them immune to mundane shooting makes them a good screen for warcasters, and precision strike on an MHA, our dragoon, the Scyir or even a warcaster's gun sounds fun.

I really like that what they provide for MHAs and cloud removal is always super nice. Secondly as one of our 3 merc/minion units, one of which is never taken and the other of which is already allowed in Defenders, they have very little competition for our friendly unit slot. I am considering, if they stay as is, working them into one of my shadows lists for Precision Strike on MHAs and cloud removal especially with the prevalence of cygnar, specifically grave diggers, in my meta.

Does Applied Knowledge affect a CRA? A POW 23 Invictor CRA with AK sounds delicious.

Just want to throw out there that the CID updated these guys again changing applied knowledge from friendly warrior model to simply friendly model I feel like these two have a good place in our armies now.
