Anything better than 3 Judiciar 1 Interceptor?
Any thoughts on good team compositions for this game? On my end, in hindsight I think 3 Judiciar 1 Interceptor is the best opening strategy. I've read some really strong builds with other comps but many of them seem too min maxed to the point where they are online very late into the campaign and you need to grind through a lot of exp with a weak build to rank up. Also stuff like 1 turn Purifier is too nit picky to be fun for me.

I'm 10 hours deep and I still only have a handful of rank 4s and 5s with my rank 7 Interceptor. With the 3 J 1 I build you can be incredibly powerful with 3 rank 3 Judiciars with Honour the Chapter and 1 Rank 5 Melee Interceptor specced into teleport and melee Mastery.

I am going shooty personaly, psi cannon judiciar, psilencer interceptor, Chaplan (litiany for +ranged crit) Psi cannon purgitor. I have killed both red and green bosses in one turn, purple boss took a while as there wre a bunch of seeds on the map to collect, and you have to use multiple precision hits to kill it, (and a ranged party only has the purgators astral aim for precision)

I'm a basic ♥♥♥♥♥ and use a support/range justicar, a teleporting melee interceptor specced for crits, a psilencer purgator, and then an apothecary since the start of the game. I also rotate an apothecary, psilencer interceptor, and a melee-oriented justicar.

I dont have all 4 advanced classes yet. But Justicars are my groove

I prefer to run 2 justicars, an apothcairy and an interceptor.

A lot of the time getting 2-3 turn Iron Arm on a Interceptor is worth more then a 3rd justicar. Stun +2 means you can pull off absurd execution chains. Just run your apothcairy or a Justicar in to get the exicutions if you can, to recharge their WP and save an AP on the interceptor so they can stun more targets.

Swap out a justicar for a purifier if you don't have a disruption skull for your apothcary on boss missions to Disrupt. Later on, swap in a Librarian as needed for Gate of Infinity, it's amazing.

You can make interceptor's extremely potent, 60+ percent CRIT, 3+ CRIT dmg, and with the AP you can do all sorts of things. You don't need stun or executions to wipe out big mops, but they do help. My current aim is to acquire power armour that grants extra AP.

For fun, try running 3 interceptor pack. There's a little that the game can do against them. Even the late game spawns are not really a threat to them.

I have used good strategies for balanced groups, Interceptor chain teams, and heavy weapon crews (2 Purgators, 1 flamer Purifier, and a +crit Chaplain carved through several maps). Also Paladins with Fury of the Ancients and Librarians with Void Storm are ridiculous even by themselves and fit in any team.

Two Justicars, one Scriptor, one Interceptor, easy mode.

You can swap one Justicar for a second Interceptor, easy mode, too.

You minmaxing too hard. even at legendary difficulty simple composition of interceptor-apothecary-justicar-purgator kills any Reaper in 2 turns or enemy pack in 1 turn.

My late game runs Chaplain, Librarian, 2 Purgators and the whole team just crits all the time on their ranged attacks and have like +15 crit damage. Kill a hellbrute in 2 crits

I ran 1 Interceptor, 1 Justicar, and 2 Purgators, in legendary until I got a Librarian and it worked just fine.
Apothecary can become potent. His biomancies are good, but he has troubles killing things to regain WP.
Late game, anything works, really. I alternate whatever would work best for the deed:
Apothecary (for taunt servo skulls), Purgators and Purifiers are great for 0 WP deeds, because they don't need WP as much as most other classes.
Paladin could probably work too.
My goto is Interceptor or Apothecary, Paladin, Justicar, Librarian.
The Librarian makes the interceptor less needed because he grants teleport to all.

4 Purgators. Auto-reload, Return-fire skills unlocked. Literally mow down entire squads of cultists, hordes of daemons, Chaos Marines in single turns.

4 Librarians to me Can't be BEAT! : ) Nuff Said

full purgator squad (normally 2 psilencers and 2 psi cannons) - purge the heretics

I got my Achievements for 4x Purgators with a Boss Fight. He also died in round 3. So i guess it really doesn't matter what you run as long as they have a decent skill set.
I'd suggest you consider replacing 1 Justicar with a Purgator, for two reasons: Astral Aim, and Disrupt Shot
