Since the card is loyal to AM it does make it less likely to be abused since most AM units can gain Ranged trough Preemptive Barrage. Besides that it only activates if an opposing Warlord is present at the same planet. Which narrows options down to fair use. Still does not make the card bad at all since it holds 2 Shield cards.
3/5
If we see more Mobile units in AM/SM/Orks that are good consider the rating of this card 4/5.
Mainly not 5/5 because these factions don't have ways to dig it up.
2 Shields means you can include it despite its situational nature. If you find yourself in a niche situation where the enemy warlord absolutely has to go to a certain planet, this on a heavy hitter could bloody him instantly.
But on the right unit it makes a monster!
Buffed Infantry Conscripts love it if you like to go for complex combos.
It's situational but late game, and with the proper unit, it should be scary for the opposing warlord. Specially if bloodied. I'd try to fit a couple for shields alone but with the added bonus of ranged&armorbane in some situations. There is never enough ranged in AM!
Unless there is no enemy Warlord around.
2-shield doesn't make it an autoinclide, as AM is running 3x Preemptive Barrage and likely heavy support. I think we'll find as we build decks that the sheer specificity of the effect makes it a bit like Bodyguard - too narrow an opportunity window for it to be worthwhile, especially as we get more and more really really good AM Support cards.
I'm expecting not to run this card. My Support set will be 3 Barrages, 3 Suppressive Fires, and beyond that its Units and Supports all the way.
I agree on your assassment but will run To Arms! Instead, or at least with Cotaez.
I think this could be interesting when Broderick Worr comes out - He can protect the unit it's attached to from Archon's Terror and give it +1 ATK - his signature unit in particular would become a 4/3 Ranged Armourbane that can't be Terrored at Green planets.
