Hfran Morkai Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 Hi guys, just a quick one. Which do you feel is more useful: 5 man Vet squad, Machine Killers, Meltabombs 4x Combi-Melta, Meltagun Or 5 man Tactical Support squad; Meltagun Meltabombs on Sergeant? They work out the same cost, now the Tactical Support squad obviously has 5 Meltaguns each turn but only the Sergeant carrying Meltabombs which could be an issue if he gets sniped. The Veterans only have one dedicated Meltagun and four situational ones, however everyone is carrying Meltabombs and I can give the Sergeant a Thunder Hammer/Power Fist if I want to, they also get an additional +1 to Armour Penetration due to Machine Killers. I'm thinking that might actually tip it in their favour, given the short range of Melta anyway and Armoured Ceramite making them basically lascannons For what it's worth I'll be using an Orbital Assault List and sticking a Master of Signal with the unit. I also fully intend on owning both units down the line (I would like at least one squad of each major permutation in my collection).

Hfran Morkai Posted July 11, 2018 Author Share Posted July 11, 2018 Clearly Veterans, even though multi-bombing isn't a thing anymore (once again). Correct. But it does mean if someone manages to take out the Sergeant they can still attack with Meltabombs, until the unit is wiped out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlo Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 Yah Vets for sure! Most things like Tac support squads will get one round of shooting before they're blown off the board - best to make them vets and make it count with tank hunters etc. Clearly Veterans, even though multi-bombing isn't a thing anymore (once again). ....Whaaaaat?! What changed....? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apologist Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 It's in the main rulebook, though, isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ficinus Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 But it's in the rulebook, page 182. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unknown Legionnaire Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 Oh ... so true, they unmade the 1-grenade-only rule in the new book, totally forgot about that. So yeah, of course they didn't FAQ it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
