Are Lictors Still -1 to hit

I think the DL wording is correct and they messed up on the Lictor wording in the FAQ by missing "the second sentence" in the first sentence. They've always had extra increased save from cover and -1 to hit. Now DL has -2 to hit and ordinary Lictors don't have any.

I agree, I don't think it was intentional but rules as written in the FAQ means we can't use it. Would make sense for the DL to be -2 and Lictor to be -1 but it is what it is I guess

As disappointing as this is, I really believe Lictors are one of our best units now. 37pts for a deepstriking infantry unit will win you games.

We have access to 40pt deepstriking obsec infantry for a couple of CP. Probably more worth it than lictors.

Not sure what you're talking about? Also CP isn't nothing: if you're just planning on actions, don't spend a couple of CP for ob sec.

Acolyte Hybrids. And ya CP is definitely something. If you need every bit of it then a second detachment isn't the answer.

I have been using both with some success, lictor starts on the board to deploy scrambers T1 in my zone.  T2/T3 I DS in 5 acolytles possibly within 3" using lay in way to steal an objective and do scramblers for T2/T3 and that is a 10 point secondary locked up, not bad.
