houseguard riflemen companies are even more vital to their success than the individual

captains must be ready to gauge the strength of the enemy accurately and direct the fire of

Other Thoughts on the Officer and Standard

Mk I Archive
This UA doesn't make the original unit silly good or provide a huge boost, but is meant to
Terrain Archive
provide new way to utilize the Riflemen. As with most Retribution UAs, this package brings
in another (better aimed) rifle to the unit and help with command checks.

The main benefit of the UA appears to be War Tempered. This allows the Riflemen to CRA
into melee, potentially in support of hard-hitting units like Destor Thanes that are likely to
be engaged. War Tempered is has real potential to hurt your own troops as well, so utilize it
with caution or go balls to the walls with 5/10-model CRAs.

Whites of Their Eyes allows them to snipe put high DEF targets such as Kayazy Assassins,
and is is essential for utilizing War Tempered. Each additional die adds 3.5 to the expected
value of an attack roll; combine this with two-model CRAs and you should be able to CRA
into melee without too much worry. In this manner, Riflemen can reduce the number of free
strikes an engaged unit that needs to move is subject to, or eliminate these jamming models
entirely.

 Note that both abilities are lost if Officer dies. Do not keep him exposed. With range of your
rifles this should not be an isssue.

Whites of their eyes has been clarified: You only get additional dice against models within
8" of the officer. Ref: Infernal post
The latest errata on the mini-feat (July 2013): "additional die on ranged attack rolls
against models within 8˝ of the attacking model.", making the ability work as most players
interpreted the rule to begin with.

Synergies
All hard-hitting models (Dawnguard Sentinels, myrmidons, 'Caster)
Being engaged and no charge lane? Make some room with couple of well placed CRAs from
the Riflemen.

Models with ranged weapons (especially the Hydra and Daemon)

Being engaged and can't shoot juicy targets nearby? Remove the engaging models
somewhat safely.
