I was considering something along these lines

Command Squad

+ Bikes


+ 4 Plasma Guns

+ 4 Power Weapons

315 points


Do you think it would be worth the points? As for Plasma Guns, they gain relentless so they could fire and assault. 8 Ap 2 shots along with the fact that Feel no Pain would help against misfires. Add in a Chaplain on a bike and you have a squad that is a pretty heavy hitter.


So what are some of your command squad bling?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/222041/435964.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/222041/435964.page GMT PG shots 5-6 hit, 4-5 wound... half a MEQ squad dead. Charge, 12 attacks (2+1 for charging x4) 6 hit, (assuming LC's) 4.5 wound... that's 8.5 to 9.5 wounds on one turn before you toss in the Apothecarie's half a wound or better, let alone the chaplain.

You'd do much better to run one power weapon, and Khan... charge in your turn, average round of combat will kill half to 2/3 of the squad... opponent's turn you'll kill 1/4 to 1/3 or so... allowing you to Hit and Run out on their turn, if they're not dead. That'll set up a tac squad to finish them off, while you rinse and repeat on the next squad.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/222041/435980.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/222041/435980.page GMT inv save? you're a braver man than i. i agree that the plasma guns are a bit much. if you want to make them very expensive why not give them all storm shields instead. 5 T5 2+/3+ models with FNP is a lot scarier and still so expensive it will make some people cringe.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/222041/436205.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/222041/436205.page GMT
As far as the squad goes, it would be useless unless you could give it some serious cover, but the FNP is absolute sex for your men.

I always thought that Command squads should be mean and this one just about fits the bill.

My advice for biker armies is to take a bunch of LRs, They are great cover for your army, and bikes will love the amount of high strength firepower they eat like an unclean one at McDonalds ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/222041/436362.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/222041/436362.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/222041/436380.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/222041/436380.page GMT
