-HQ-

Vulkan He'stan = 190

Space Marine Captain w/ Artificer Armor, Thunder Hammer, Storm Shield, Digital Weapons = 170

Command Squad with:

Apothecary
Company Standard w/ Storm Shield
Veteran w/ Storm Shield and Lightning Claw
Veteran w/ Meltagun
Veteran w/ Meltagun

= 195

555 Points Total, not including the Land Raider they would ride in.

I am thinking of putting 8 Assault Terminators in a second Raider.

So is an Army built around Vulkan, a Captain, a Command Squad, Assault Terminators in two Land Raiders Viable?

Vulkan and Company = 555
8 Assault Terminators = 320
Land Raider Redeemer w/ MM = 250
Land Raider Crusader w/ MM = 260

That's a whopping 1385 and doesn't leave much room for anything else.

Is it even worth trying? TH/SS Terminator 'Command Squad' in a Landraider Redeemer/Crusader (don't forget the Multi-Melta). considering it is +5 points and gets his complete benefits, I just don't think I can justify it.

On another note, can he even take a command squad? I don't have the codex handy, but I don't think he is considered a Chapter Master or Captain.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/248002/835560.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/248002/835560.page GMT How would you support this Vulkan/Command Squad "core"? Is it even worth trying? th/ss terminator squad for 5 points more doesnt do? Especially if the point is to drive units off objectives.

For 1305 you could run something like

Vulkan + 5 th/ss termies in redeemer

Cassius + 3 LC termies/4 th/ss termies in crusader

you save 80 points and probably hit harder. Both squads have a flamer for clearing out hordes and will hit hard as nails in CC

Alternatively if you just wanna beat the piss out of something replace cassius with lysander for 5 points less than what you had. Lysander is a beast.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/248002/835588.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/248002/835588.page GMT How would you support this Vulkan/Command Squad "core"?
