http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/31.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net FW book betrayal (because fists wont be done for a while im starting with this list to get the basics)

I like the idea of Drop pod assaults, i always have, is it a major / favoured tactic of the Fists ? or is it more of something they can do because all the legions have pods ?

Or would it be more fluffy to play a defensive / seige list with lots of troops and / or terminators and tanks / Dreads ?
bear in mind this is not meant to be competitive, just fluffy but also to fit the FOC

Thanks in advance for the help, and i also hope i put this post in the right place haha

Even thinking about it from, Ullanor to the Heresy the IF's mission was to defend Terra. What better response to an enemy making land fall than to catch them between an impenetrable fortress wall and a bunch of pissed off Space Marines who just appeared out of drop pods behind them?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/498833/5146364.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/498833/5146364.page GMT
The whole point of the Legions was to re-take the galaxy basically, and they'd be much better at doing that with drop-pods than defensive tactics. Whilst different Legions have different specialities, they would all also employ the core Space Marine tactics IMHO.

So yeah, go ahead! Maybe some slightly siege-oriented things like more melta's or flamers would help, but I don't see a problem with the Drop Pod idea.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/498833/5146429.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/498833/5146429.page GMT
Paint your Marines as Imperial Fists, and have fun with whatever kind of army you want to build.

And Space Marines would rarely be used in defense. The idea of the Imperial Fists being "defensive specialists" always makes me chuckle. Yeah, they defended the Imperial Palace during the Heresy, but that was because they had to, and they where there. Leaving Space Marines to defend anything other than the most absurdly valuable targets (like Terra) would be kinda pointless. Better to use hundreds of thousands of regular troops.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/498833/5147131.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/498833/5147131.page GMT I will probably do a first company drop pod theme then
