Oh, Pickstock's foolishness did not end there... his army
included (IIRC) a Lancer det, a Paladin household, a Baron, a
REAVER battlegroup ("What are Doms great at killing, kids?" "TITANS
WITH LITTLE OR NO SHIELDS!" "What do the bugs gets lots of VPs
for?" "KILLING TITANS!"), and Leman Russ company (Lemans being a
waste of points in SM/TL), an IG tac company and an Inquisitor.
Talk about a sham battle.
