I have the Captain with dual Power Swords (I can model him that way and just never fire his Bolt Pistol... tehe), as well as the Librarian (if anyone could give me names, that would be appreciated, I lost my copy of the book). Crucify away!

Anyways, I've never really liked the idea of multi meltas, and meltas in the same squad, because they like to do very different things. One sits and waits, keeping transports, Dreads, and other tanks at bay, while the meltagun is best when charging up to a tank/squad, and liquifying them with a short range blast.

It seems like the Librarian is the least necessary thing in an otherwise great army. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/219422/395913.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/219422/395913.page GMT The First Drop (1750 Marines)

I put the Multi-Meltas in there because (1) it's free, and (2) I'm pretty much setting up at point-blank with my opponent. I have a good firebase if I get near an objective, and my Multi-Melta gives me a powerful firebase.

The Librarian is there mostly because he rounded out the points, gives a SG unit a little more punch, and there was that Librarian in Storm of Iron that I wanted to emulate. Null Field, by the way, makes your opponent re-roll successful Inv. saves within a certain distance... I think like 24" or something.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/219422/395939.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/219422/395939.page GMT The First Drop (1750 Marines) http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/219422/395995.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/219422/395995.page GMT
