http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/69.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net First, a description for those who aren't familiar:

Same stats as IG veterans, except WS/BS swapped and sgt has 2 wounds and WS/BS 4.

Elites choice.

55/5, 10/1 for additional

Instead of buying doctrines, they come with them but cost more (pick one):
-grenadiers
-furious charge/scout
-acute senses, move through cover, stealth

They have most of the same options, for the same cost except:
-no plasma guns
-no heavy weapons
-the SGT can take a demo charge at 25 and meltabombs at 5
-up to 2 brutes (same stats as Ogryn, except S/T 4 and no guns) for 30 points, which do benefit from the doctrines.

They can get a chimera or an arvus (but the arvus is too expensive in points and real world cash for me to consider right now).


So, the meat of the question, now that I've described them:

1- are they worth it, in your opinion?
2- how would you kit them out?
(I was thinking carapace armor, shotguns, ogryns, demo charge, chimera, but that starts to get pricey...

Just give them the scout/FC doctrine and load up on meltas. Take a min unit of 5 and buy them a chimera. SHIZAAM! Meltacide for those things that must die. Otherwise, nothing seems worth it.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/429668/3915264.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/429668/3915264.page GMT
