If its just the latest models you dont want to fork out for, rhinos would work well and they can be gotten cheap off ebay etc. If you want to only use the models you've got listed, one thing you could do is drop one tactical squad and split up the guys between the devastator squads. Currently they are vulnerable to fire as there is only 1 sergeant and the rest have weapons you dont want to loose. So bulk them out a bit so they last longer.
Another option, (if you have more tactical marines) is to field less devastators and then combat squad the tactical squads. Then you can have your armour banzai chargers and hold a heavy at the back with some supporting guys. By my reckoning, each tacitcal squad could cost around 200pts this way so you could field around 5.
Hi, rahxephon.
Of course new models mean latest released ones :-D
Come on, we all have rhinos! Just so many power-armors make me thought of foot-log wolf list and wrote this list
lol. But indeed I should really give command squad a razorback to protect risk the std.
Less
Devs? hum...for durability I would combine the two 5 men TSM to one squad, and there I get some points for dreadnought weapons or rhinos.
IMO firepower from
Devs is crucial in this list, so I think I should keep the
Devs.
Thanks for your advices! cheers!
