I was wondering everyones opinion on best loadout for the marshall?

so far what i mostly seen is LC+SS+Term Honours or on a bike with ss and pf

Well, BT Terminators are pretty awesome, so I'm thinking the first way to run him is in terminator armor. In this case I'd probably do something like this...

-Marshall
Terminator Honors
Storm Shield
Adamantine Mantle
Lightning Claw
Terminator Armor

Durable, and takes advantage of his high number of attacks and high initiative. With an AAC Champion on the table, this dude rerolls to hit and wound, making him a straight up boss in combat. The other way to run him is like a cruise missile, sending him out alone on a bike to punk anything he comes across and provide a distraction. This would look a bit like...

-Marshall
Artificer Armor
Storm Shield
Adamantine Mantle
Thunder Hammer (or Power Fist)
Bike
Terminator Honors

It all depends on how you want to run him. The second option can really be thrown into any list and work, while the first needs termies+land raider to run with. But really, the best thing about the Marshall is his ability to solve all your leadership problems. Army wide ld10+ATSKNF? Yes please.

Well I have several different fun loadouts like a JP, TH, SS, artificer, mantle, but that isn't super competitive.

As for the best loadout, there are two ways termi armor and no termi armor.

Termi Armor would look like this:
Marshal
-Termi Armor
-LC
-SS
-Mantle
-Auspex

Without it
-Artificer Armor
-Termi Honors
-LC
-SS
-Mantle
-Holy Orb

Basically if you have termi armor then get a termi command squad w/ 2CML. Basically its just a way to get more CML onto the battlefield. If you don't want to add more and want the Ld 10 then go without the termi armor. Yes it is more expensive but he seems to be able to do more.
