Kinda forces you to take a chain of command. If the budget is tight, that's got to be a consideration
When your only CoC is a Zenit? Nah. I've never run CoC in Kosmo and typically if I lose Wallace, it's not until turn 3 anyway. He usually hangs out in the back, fairly well guarded for T1 and T2. And sure, he's on the pricy side, but what are you getting for your price? In addition to the old standby of making your Warcor provide a Regular order, you're also getting the ability to turn one of the best bargain basement specialists (Irmandinhos) into an order generator (I typically run 2-3 in every list with him). Not to mention making Bearpodes and Duroc provide Regular orders, too! On top of that, you're getting what is effectively a free Coordinated Order every turn. His EXP CC weapon doesn't suck, either (though if you're having to use him for breaking an AC/2, you're making a risky play. UKR is better for that sort of thing.) Okay, I get if you're going to try to keep things cheap and run a Rokot LT, but what else are you going to do? Frankly, neither the Frontovik or Scots Guard LTs are that useful (though if you could have a Scots Guard Camo LT, I could see a use for that). And if you're running a Kosmosoldat LT, you're building your list to be able to handle LoL. Honestly, there are so many useful things you can do with Wallace - dude is a toolbox. If you haven't tried him instead of a boring, safe, cheap Rokot LT, I highly recommend giving him a try.
It's more just the massive bullseye on his head that makes me wince. I've run him in home games Vs a mate. Not sure I'd take it to a tournament though, a turn in LoL can be a game changer. If I did, I'd always take a zenit CoC
I ran Kosmo for 9 months straight prior to the Fireteam changes last year with Wallace as my LT in 95% of my games. I never regretted it.
i didnt have problems running wallace Lt in CHA for the past 7 years, but in Kosmo... the sinergy is not that big. I dont feel Wallace being so imperative to be Lt in Kosmo
Yeah kosmo doesnt really need wallace in its lists Something like this gTIJa29zbW9mbG90BkNoZXJub4EsAgEJAYXwAQQAAoXuAQEAA4XuAQcABIXuAQoABYXuAQQABoYxAQIAB4W1AQEACIMJAQMACYXyAAEAAgYBgQcBAgAChjABAgADgQEBAQAEgQEBAQAFgPABAgAGhi0BAQA= Or this for a second list is pretty meta and at only 2 irregs your not losing much as yoinwpuld spend the orders anyway Also combat groups are personal prefrence gTIJa29zbW9mbG90BkNoZXJub4EsAgEJAYXwAQQAAoXuAQEAA4XuAQcABIXuAQoABYXuAQQABoYxAQIAB4W1AQEACIMJAQMACYXyAAEAAgYBgQcBAgACgO0BBAADgOQBBgAEhfMBAQAFgPABAgAGhi0BAQA= I took in a 3 round tournament something like 27 objective points while losing something like 200- 300 points of models over the course lf three games,
