For the Rewards of Treason Should i choose Tyrant Siege Terminators or Fulmentarus Terminators (the Ultramarines version)
Ill list some Pros and Cons
Both Squads will have both Infiltrate, Scout, +1 To vehicle damage chart (in Enemy depolyment zone) and Preferred Enemy (Everything) and will have 10 models in the unit

TST (Tyrant Siege)
FT (Fulmentarus)

TST Pros:
Automatically come with CML
Less points to upgrade

TST Cons:
High Base Cost
Only BS4
No Tank Hunters

FT Pros:
Cheap(er) Base Cost
Night Vision
Tank Hunters
-1 to enemy cover saves
Can take Power Swords (a big plus with Heresy terminators)
BS5

FT Cons
Stupidly High Upgrade cost (300 points for 10 CML)
With the Same loadout as TST, 155 points more

Remember, its Heresy, Go Big or Go Home!

I feel the tyrants win out over the Fulmentarus every time.

There is no Zuul, there is only war!

Unless you're planning on taking a large squad of FTs, Tyrant Siege termies are better, even with the -1 BS and lack of Tank Hunters.

FTs just aren't as good unless you put heaps of points into them to get good gear and enough models for the special benefits.

You can also get over the Tank Hunter thing by putting a siege breaker HQ in there. In my IW infantry army he is the HQ so two birds with one stone.

If you dont short hand your list, Im not reading it.
Example: Assault Intercessors- x5 -Thunder hammer and plasma pistol on sgt.
or Assault Terminators 3xTH/SS, 2xLCs
For the love of God, GW, get rid of reroll mechanics. ALL OF THEM!

Rewards of Treason is an Alpha Legion thing so I don't believe the OP will be taking a siege breaker HQ

Gods? There are no gods. Merely existences, obstacles to overcome.

Why would you, especially when he's looking for long ranged high firepower units?

Well, because they are grossly powerful? I don't know what his list is, so it was just something to think of.
