I don't see any apparent advantage to LCs over the hammer with the 3+.

If all you ever fight is, say, MEqs, then LCs are better.

If you never get hit with AP2, then LCs are better.

Obviously the time will come when you do have to fight MCs, ICs or vehicles, or when you're shot with AP2. But is it often enough to not have a certain number of LCs in there? I'd say that most of the time it's going to be simple troops, and most of the time it's going to not be AP2. So I take more LCs than THs.

Faced a good sized squad of TH Terminators today, and I've got to say, it was insane the amount of punishment they sustained.

The other guy was rolling real well on their saves, but that squad took a round of shooting from 2x Dakkafexs and a Dakkatyrant, then they took an assault from 12 Genestealers. Killed 6 Genestealers, lost nobody. In the end, they got assaulted by 2x Dakkafex and a Dakkatyrant as well. They died, but took all 12 Stealers, 1 Carnifex, and wounded the other.

The other guy Deepstriked them right in from of 3x Tyrants, a Dakkafex and 12 Genestealers. I thought they'd be gone before they could even attack.

I think he had 7 of them...

Toughest unit I've ever seen.
