Am I missing something, or are these guys just as bad as I think they are?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/237427/679078.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/237427/679078.page GMT Noise Marines?
10 noise marines all sonic blasters, champ with SB, PW and doom siren

6 noise marines, blastmaster, champ with PW

6 noise marines, blastmaster, champ with PW

the sonic blaster makes the unit very flixible. loads of dakka if you stand still, still alot if your looking to charge. but at smaller points i would prolly run a unit of 6 with blasters and a PW champ.

MEQs, and thier firepower makes them good against hordes. Blastmasters even let them be good against vehicles and MCs.

I run two squads of 5 with sonic blasters and blastmasters in my usual 1000pt army, and they never fail to disappoint]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/237427/679490.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/237427/679490.page GMT Noise Marines? AC with doom siren.
Add a winged DP with lash.

Footslogging NM are not worth it unless you play non-competitive. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/237427/683409.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/237427/683409.page GMT Noise Marines?

I have to agree. I field 6 man NM squads in Rhino's for my lower point games. 5 points each for first strike against most MEQ and fearless is a bargain.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/237427/691994.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/237427/691994.page GMT Noise Marines?
I am thinking the heavy sonic weapon is sort of a waste of points, compared to when it can get you almost two more NMs for the cost.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/237427/692023.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/237427/692023.page GMT Re:Noise Marines? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/237427/692090.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/237427/692090.page GMT Noise Marines?

Seriously.


From what I remember, basically you keep a small squad, sonic blasters all around and Doom Siren on the champ. Give it a rhino. Either sit still and shoot away or run up and be aggressive with them. Move, shoot blasters on assault mode, use the ap3 heavy flamer from the champion, and then charge in with 2 I5 S4 attacks from each marine plus whatever the Champ uses. They are a fairly versatile unit that can shoot and assault just as well.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/237427/692093.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/237427/692093.page GMT Noise Marines?

I hope you're joking. Fearless MEQ in cover with 3 shots at 24" plus the blastmaster is about all I could ask for in an objective holder, and they can still contribute from the back of the table. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/237427/692339.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/237427/692339.page GMT Noise Marines?

Havoc launcher rhinos are actually one of the greatest strengths of the CSM codex, but people just don't realize it. My havoc launcher rhino took out nearly all of a storm guardian squad and a vyper jetbike with holofields in my game today, earning its points twice over easily.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/237427/692585.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/237427/692585.page GMT Noise Marines?

What kind of Eldar player uses Storm guardians or Vypers?




I don't personally advocate the use of Havoc launchers(Rhinos are very cheap armor, so I like to play them to their strength), but if you like them their are worse things you can pay points for.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/237427/693622.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/237427/693622.page GMT Noise Marines?

Granted, the guy wasn't the best Eldar player, but Storm Guardians have their use as close-range special weapons guys (the flamers are much better than the meltas). The fact of the matter is that for those 15 points you're getting an efficient anti-infantry weapon that can work against AV10 vehicles too (hey land speeders sure are popular nowadays). "They're cheap so they should stay cheap" isn't a statement that means much, as in list building you should be trying to get the most killiness for your points, and the 15 points spent on a havoc launcher is more damage than you're going to get for 15 points of stuff added to most other units.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/237427/693855.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/237427/693855.page GMT Noise Marines? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/237427/695424.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/237427/695424.page GMT Noise Marines?

And IMO plasma pistols are a far less optimal upgrade for any unit for the same points cost.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/237427/695447.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/237427/695447.page GMT Noise Marines?

They are viable because they can do any role well. Shooting, assault, objective capturing, shock troops...

IMO they are best used when a big squad jumps out of a Landraider, shoots 16 bolter shots, three blastmaster shots, and a doomsiren, then assaults for 3 initiative 5 attacks each.
That should effectively wipe out almost any average unit in the game.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/237427/705214.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/237427/705214.page GMT Noise Marines?

Absolutely. Last game I played, my immobilised rhino took Yriel down to one wound with a havoc launcher and had the last laugh as it exploded and killed him. Ha.

I love the havoc launcher because not only does it provide some nice horde defense, but it also give you 2 options with the rhino.
1. Drop off the squad. Now move the empty rhino around and threaten infantry with the launcher. Who is going to waste anti-tank shots on an empty rhino? Few players, unless they have lascannons to spare (IG)
2. Drop off the squad on the objective and set the rhino up slightly closer to the enemy. Havoc launcher/combi-bolter away at them. Then, when they get close, tank shock.

Honestly this thing is a steal at 15 points, especially for noise marines in small squads, who could get overwhelmed by hordes.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/237427/705331.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/237427/705331.page GMT Noise Marines? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/237427/705404.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/237427/705404.page GMT Noise Marines? 5 X NM, 1 BM, 4 SB in a rhino w/ hovic launcher.
Sit on the rear objective and shoot away.

NM are great vs loyalists and other I4 or less troops - as was previously stated, nothing wrong with 6 of them with bolters and a champ in a rhino at low points levels. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/237427/705781.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/237427/705781.page GMT
