In my opinion, Storm Shields, on account of their sheer badassery. Or the humble 5pt Vox Caster as it has got me out of many a tricky situation.

Daemonmunter thunderhammer, yay! After i have hit you, you don`t get any attacks in the next round of combat! So in the next combat you wont be able to hit me so when i hit you you don`t get to attack next round!
Had a 84pt brother captin w/hammer kill calgar and lysander, because i am awsome!

KFF. definitely

The Book. It is a five point commisar with combat tactics. You know how cool stubborn is with pedro or lysander? wish you could still auto-fail if you needed to? Pass up the 5 point sargent upgrade. That has a bubble. Amaze your friends! Make IG have better LD rules than Marnius Calgar! Do it!

Disruption Pod for sure: 5 points for concealment on a vehicle at ranges great than 12". Doubles the survivability of a vehicle for 5 points. Best 5 points ever. Did I mention that the Disruption Pod is only 5 points!

I agree with dashofpepper kustom force field FTW

Even better, Techmarines can take it too! And you can take TWO bombs on each guy! That's a whopping 10 Holy Orbs of Antioch! Just remember that you miss out on furiously charging or tank hunting terminators or sneaky sword brethren... oh, and tank hunting dreadnoughts. But who cares, we have da bomb!

Why do you miss out on all that stuff?

Because you'd fill the elite slots with techmarines with orbs

OH! You can get 2 Chaplains for command squads, that's another 4 more bombs! 14 in total! Bring on the smiting!

I just looked in the book and it says that you can't double up on wargear-no multiple Holy Orbs. Now, I was just looking at the army book online because I buy all the codexes for armies that I play: Eldar, Daemons, CSM, BA, C:SM, SW, but I don't have BT yet. Anyway, the copy I saw said that you aren't allowed to double up on wargear-I'm just wondering if the copy I am temporarily viewing before I buy the book is incorrect

No doubling up on a single model but multiple models can take the same stuff so you can have... According to my handy dandy BT 'dex, 5.

That's what I thought too Emil: 5 Holy Orbs. Thanks, I plan on building a list around that some time to play against a friend who uses an ork horde

I agree about the Holy Orbs. Much levity is had when they are chucked at your enemy to shouts of " five shall be the number of the count and the number of the count shall be five ............."
