http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/69.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net SM army and I keep wondering whether I should leave the dozer blades off or magnetize them on. Part of me just wants to build them and skip magnetization but I can't help thinking I just might have use for them. I always focus any extra points on upgrading my HQs or sergeants. Are dozer blades really an option that makes a difference?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/333077/2217267.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/333077/2217267.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/333077/2217272.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/333077/2217272.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/333077/2217281.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/333077/2217281.page GMT
There are weapons/powers that, while rare, will Force you to take dangerous terrain checks... 1/6 doesn't sound like much.. until you have 6+ tanks.

While you will rarely be forced to go over rough terrain, I've seen situations where I (or my opponent) was forced to choose between moving over rough terrain, or being funneled by terrain.

Basically the dozer blade makes tanks better at doing what they're designed for. I.e. being mobile. If you have a tank that you're afraid to take offroading, or if you aren't afraid to take it offroading and it get's stuck, it will be harder to make full use of your tanks. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/333077/2217607.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/333077/2217607.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/333077/2217718.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/333077/2217718.page GMT SM army. Then I realize that they are rarely needed, and that the one place an immobilized result really hurts is on a LR, which can't take the blade anyways. I'd say leave them off. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/333077/2217845.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/333077/2217845.page GMT FW dozer blades to the rather weak-looking standard GW ones.

To be honest, I treat Space Marine units as essentially costing 15 points beyond their base price-- 10 for a combi-weapon on the Sergeant, 5 for a dozer. That should give you some idea of how important I think the blades are.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/333077/2217852.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/333077/2217852.page GMT
