a shout out to all space marine players, can a techmarine take a meltagun as a weapon choice ??????

**Mr. Self Destruct**

Look in the Space Marine book.

**Shadowblade**

I dont currently have a space marine codex and wondered if they could

**Coolyo294**

No.

**Begel Dverl**

They CAN take Combi-meltas, though.

**Deadshot**

They can take a servo-harness,which includes a TL plasma pistol and a flamer.They can fire both,or one and a gun they carry.Take a combi plasma and TH,and put him on a bike.

Then cry because you just spent like 150 points on a one wound model.

A powerful modal,that if played right can devastae opponents.Give him servitors for resilience and aid for BotO

**BluntmanDC**

Bike and servitors, how is that gonna work?

**Jimsolo**

And for 25 extra points you could have an extra wound, an extra BS, and the ability to use Dreads as Heavy Support choices.

Honestly, SRM is right. Techmarines are too fragile to waste all those points on. No invulnerable save of any kind.

**Deadshot**

Easy.Keep hi m in Base to Base with a fire support vehicle that is going to move only 6''.A vindicator is a good choice.The harness and 3 servitors give him auto-repair.Take 5 for wound allocation.The bike will allow him to be relentless,and increase the squad toughness to 5 when only 1 servitor is left.

**cgmckenzie**

Buy a thunderfire cannon. Get the cannon, marine, and servo harness for only 100 pts.

**Deadshot**

The gun is easy to destroy,and killing the marine blows them both.He gets a bolter and no upgrades,not even a lousy power sword!

**Coolyo294**

Have you ever played against a Thunderfire? That thing is awesome.

Ugh, could you please not type like that? It's wrong and annoying. Punctuation marks aren't spaces.

The problem with attaching servitors to a bike techmarine means that he can only move 6 inches a turn as opposed to 12, and the servitors won't be able to shoot anything. The only techmarines that should be on bikes are masters of the forge with conversion beamers. Relentless matters for that, but not for anything else. A techmarine just needs to be in base contact at the end of the shooting phase to fix something, relentless doesn't affect anything.

And yes, Thunderfires are awesome. I seldom leave home without them.
