Due to the new close combat rules and power weapons with ap what do you guys think is the strongest jump or infantry units. I personally believe that WG in TDA. I think this because the can use a large range of power weapons and ranged weapons allowing them to destroy anything in their path however their 2+ armor save and 5+ inv save allow them to take a large amount of damage. For these reasons I believe that they are the ultimate unit on two feet. Who's the best in your opinion?

Best unit on 2 legs?

Looted Imperator titan

TDA WG are fairly beastly though

Wolf Guard are pretty strong; I'd have to put Paladins above them if we're comparing Terminator-armored variants due to the Paladins' greater durability and close-combat prowess; I don't think this question is quite fair in the abstract given the number of roles such a unit can be put into, though...

I've had squads of Death company tear through TDA units, without breaking a sweat, but I think to make all this a fair comparison you'd need to put a points limit on it, otherwise if it is no limit, and 30 man death company blob with Lemartes is easily the best two legged unit.

Paladins, the trick is getting them where they need to be in 6th (and avoiding other TDA in HTH). My second place would go to Sanguinary Guard, only because a 2+ save is awesome in 6th and they are the only jump infantry that get that as far as I know.

Guardsman Marbo. Demo charge >>>>> silly glowing sword things.

Imperator Titan..

has 2 legs don' it?

Lack of Invulnerable and only 5 man units make them a bit soft, great if used well, but can easily be killed in a war of attrition.

50 guardsman blob with Poweraxe sergeants, 5 commissars with Power axes, and a prescience TDA Rune Priest. With 5 Lascannons and 5 Plasmaguns. Outflanking due to Al'Rahem.

So speaks GW's PR rep

The proppa answer is an ork

MANz are really good this edition

Anything with a 2+ is tbh

Broadsides.
