@Vengis-EMPs being a waste depends on the area and type of games you play in. Tourny players may not find as much use for them. If your not facing a lot of Drop pod marines you may not need them.

There are places I travel to where going to the game store to play is like a visit to the Bolter and chainsword fan club.

When in these areas, I've found having one squad loaded with them, hidden in my lines can be a nasty surprise when that Dreanought drops in and hits your lines second turn. I find this can be a problem if I'm playing Ninja Tau.

If I'm castled in the corner with broadsides, Firewarriors and pathfinders. I have the Fire warriors as the buffer wall, then the Pathfinders, and finally the Broadsides. I will often arm the pathfinders with EMPs to help in this situation. Its worth it to me just to see the worried look on the SM players face. Even better when you Take out his Venerable with a lowly pathfinder.


But hey, Its all a matter of preference and playstyle.


I still stand my statement That the points aren't that far off. If they were I wouldn't still be winning games.
