The grav cannon variant. I beleive there is a way to her a crazy amount of ap 2 shots with these guys along with bolter fire.


That should put me around 500 ish I am mainly looking an a few solid purchases. Like what to buy next. With orks I started with oh I have 50 boyz well I want 100 more. So that was my thought process for orks. I'm sure you can tell what my armies looked like. So I am wondering what is a good path to go for ultramarines!

After that, you need to decide what kind of list you want to run to decide what to get. That being said, terminators are never a bad option.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/551427/6037260.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/551427/6037260.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/551427/6037309.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/551427/6037309.page GMT
As far as what to buy next it really depends on the list you play. For example, I could tell you to buy a drop pod, but if you buy one, you need to buy at least three. One just doesn't do much good.

All that being said, my favorite squads are CC terminators, landraiders, scouts with sniper rifles, and whirlwinds. A thunderfire cannon is also a great unit, I just don't happen to own one yet.

But before you go buying models all willy nilly, have an idea of the type of list you want to run. After you have that you can add some more things and experiment. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/551427/6039333.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/551427/6039333.page GMT
