http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/93.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net CC units. The 16 man unit would make more use of it in CC, being the kind of unit that moves in to either intercept and hold, meaning that most of the time they'd only get the flaming attacks in close.

I know it's only a 10 point piece of cloth, but I'm genuinely unsure which one will end up making the most of having it]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/346493/2441337.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/346493/2441337.page GMT CC and shooting.

if you run them 8 wide you get all 16 shooting and can then reform to charge home.


Personally, i would combine them into a 26 strong unit. run them 5 wide by 5 deep with 1 extra. you then get to use Volly Fire to great effect with the flaming banner.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/346493/2447905.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/346493/2447905.page GMT
Beyond that, your consideration of ranged versus close-combat could be resolved thusly: Sea Guard are decent in both phases. You can shoot for a few turns, moving in or positioning yourself as you see fit, then Stand and Shoot! as they charge you. So what role you see each unit doing most of the time-which, honestly, you should strive to avoid-is irrelevant. In short: more models with flaming attacks > less models with flaming attacks.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/346493/2447931.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/346493/2447931.page GMT FC and this banner and forming up 10wide, 4 deep. 31-33 shots depending on characters placed in the unit can put quite a bit of hurt. While at the same time taking up my required Core. With a simple reform prior to combat I can go 7x6 to maximize attacks.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/346493/2449233.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/346493/2449233.page GMT
