Storm Bolters or SIA?

SIA cause wound on 2+ for non vehicles

 

we are already paying for 3 points more for that, if you confront it to the sternguard.....spending another 2 to get a stormbolter is not an option for me.

 

I hope the incoming codex will get us some valid points reduction btw

I agree. It's not worth paying extra 2pts even though mathematically SB is better than Boltgun+SIA when shooting T4Sv4-5 models. So if you know for sure that your SB equipped squad will shoot horde and horde only then SB is very cost effective way to increase amount of shots but otherwise... :unsure.: 

 
Now, how do you get SB with SIA? Not in any way, but you can test SB+SIA effect using Bikers. Bikers are good, not awesome but really good. Really hope they cut the points of Bikers.

SIA.

 

The versatility can't be ignored.

 

I play a lot against Jormungandr tactics. I don't need the 2+ wounding on gaunts, but the +1 to hit against units in cover means I'm hitting the majority of them on 2s.

 

It's also nice to be able to match the range of a heavy bolter with stalker bolters.
