I put some consideration into Devastators but found them too expensive compared to the alternative ultra hard, versatile, and scoring Sternguard with lascannons. I know hordes are becoming capable and popular and figured my relatively few scoring bodies could use the cover ignoring abilities of the Whirlywoos a bit more.

Edited and corrected, thanks for the heads up.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/486081/4930255.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/486081/4930255.page GMT 2000/Nilla Maaaarines/Comp
I think TFCs are a bit more popular for blasts, and you get to bolster some ruins to get some nice cover saves.

I think you're gonna struggle against dedicated CC units with a quick delivery system. Otherwise you got the shooty aspect well covered.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/486081/4931424.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/486081/4931424.page GMT 2000/Nilla Maaaarines/Comp MCs may cause some issue. But I have lots of guns for them and little boxes to hide in for a blink.

Or I could drop the 6 man sternguard unit in favor for a terminator assault squad and give a scout unit a tracker for deeps strikers. Pedro's bubble gives any friendly a +1 attack according to the FAQ. That would give me a nice face beater unit.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/486081/4932666.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/486081/4932666.page GMT 2000/Nilla Maaaarines/Comp
How about scout bikes w locator and pods. Dominate a flank in his deployment zone w your lethal sternguard and use the rest of your list as a shooty firm base.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/486081/4934502.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/486081/4934502.page GMT 2000/Nilla Maaaarines/Comp

Don't forget that sternguard start with 2 attacks and Pedro grants them yet another attack. Anything other than massed power weapon spam should get handled adequately.

I've done Pedro + 5-man assault termie squad very successfully, it makes Pedro more survivable, and now you have hammers pumping out 4 attacks each on the charge (5 for claws), it's a pretty sweet deal (I have sweet memories of insta-killing a whole squad of Tyrannid Warriors that way...), the only difficulty is getting them in the fight quickly since you don't have a LR, you could run them behind the RZs.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/486081/4934760.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/486081/4934760.page GMT Re:2000/Nilla Maaaarines/Comp tac marines for the points and only having 26 sterns out there means they can be over run by hordes. But this is all my opinion. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/486081/4935261.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/486081/4935261.page GMT 2000/Nilla Maaaarines/Comp
Do you need dozer blades on the whirlwinds? Those points might be better served getting upgrades like HBs and camo cloaks for your scouts. Just becasue you need to take them is no reason to neglect them, a few extra points will make them a lot better.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/486081/4936290.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/486081/4936290.page GMT 2000/Nilla Maaaarines/Comp
I'm not sure I like having 2 lascannons on each of the 10man sternguards either. You lose the special ammo for them in that case. Maybe 1 lascannon each would make more sense. You've got a lot of las there as it is with the razorbacks, plus the 6 combi meltas + 3 meltabombs. It seems a little bit of an armour overkill to me.

Why BA, you may ask, it's because their assault troops. They can drop anywhere reliably on the map, even near armor and smash it, and they're relatively inexpensive. I think they can take tremor cannons, I don't have my book on hand. The reason I took 2 lascannon per unit is because they're at a discount and were actually cheaper than taking a dev squad. Much to ponder.

No, the option isn't available in their dex. I'll have to do it with the nilla book.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/486081/4936543.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/486081/4936543.page GMT 2000/Nilla Maaaarines/Comp http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/486081/4936890.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/486081/4936890.page GMT 2000/Nilla Maaaarines/Comp kp were neck and neck, so we decided to call it a draw till next time. Mind you, I wasn't using this list, however, I learned much about the fragility of armored units. Especially with the ap damage bumps. A few rhinos and razors would indeed just hand out points like candy. More to ponder.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/486081/4937506.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/486081/4937506.page GMT
