I have herd that there just a waste of points and was wondering if this is true?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/376966/2954840.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/376966/2954840.page GMT SM Assault squads. I never have noticed a difference with them when i play against CSM. But with my Assault squads, i take 2 of them.

Now remember im speaking from SM point of view so idk how much this helps

1. Because i can have 10 man squads (Not sure about CSM)
2. Flamers, I can take up to 2 flamers per squad.
3. Deep strike, I know raptors can deep strike, iv seen it done. Which is all Assault squads and Raptors are really good for, Deep strike in, then next turn get into your opponents face with hand to hand and yea.

Units with jump packs only move 12in so once they have deep striked, yea they can move pretty far. But look at them. 3+ armor save. They are going to die, mind as well get use to it, and arm them with weapons that will cause the most kills for you. Then get into your enemy's face.

Hope it helps a little.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/376966/2954885.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/376966/2954885.page GMT DS my Raptors.

I run a 5man squad, with LC champ, flamer/melta and IoK.

They are a suicide squad and I just run them up behind my Rhinos for cover and assault whatever I know I can kill in one assault phase.

Very usefull for 5man SM squads. But as said: They are going to die. That's why I just use them to disrupt enemy tactics.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/376966/2954903.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/376966/2954903.page GMT
The thing with raptors is to DS them behind enemy tanks and blow them to pieces, IE meltaguns. Failing that then DS behind them and blast infantry. It really depends on the game type though. Usually destroying a tank is always fun though haha.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/376966/2956759.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/376966/2956759.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/376966/2956866.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/376966/2956866.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/376966/2957857.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/376966/2957857.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/376966/2958324.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/376966/2958324.page GMT
