Which is better for the price (seeing as both cost the same power) for a 5 man squad with maxed out special weapons?
So chosen squad with 5 combi-plasma, or plague marines with 2 blight launchers and a plasma gun. Is the extra durability worth the loss of firepower for the sons of papa nurgle?
Although now that I think about it, both squads will have 5 special weapon shots at 24", so would plague marines be better for a unit that plans on staying at mid-range?
