I was wanting to kit out my Paladins personally with hammers to have a 10 man squad of "Hammerdins" as it were.

Thoughts? Which melee weapons work best for attacking? Better chances of success to hit? Or what seems to work out rather well that I might be overlooking currently?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/552296/6051002.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/552296/6051002.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/552296/6051020.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/552296/6051020.page GMT
Swords also become silly with the Forwarning divination power.

I also always take at least 1 Hammer for when I need str10.

And max psycannons and psybolts, always!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/552296/6051028.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/552296/6051028.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/552296/6051175.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/552296/6051175.page GMT
And if I were to go with a theme, per se, what melee weapon works well as an overall grouping?

It should probably be explained that I'd be running a single Terminator and a single Paladin squad in my current army layout. 10 men apiece and trying to get them based and built.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/552296/6051240.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/552296/6051240.page GMT
Massed Str5 is powerful, especially when its your basic weapon.

And it ends up being 2 pts per model with a full squad.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/552296/6051288.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/552296/6051288.page GMT GK are hurting on high strength shooting for the most part. Weapons wise, I like to run (per five) two hammers, two halberds and maybe one sword. It gives me high initiative for the marines, high strength for vehicles/TEQ, and the sword is my first place to roll wounds in CC, although really three halberds and two hammers would be almost as durable and definitely better in CC against MEQ. The apothecary is great in larger units, as the 1/3 save against most wounds for expensive Paladins can be useful if running them as a death star. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/552296/6051417.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/552296/6051417.page GMT

As to Staves, Banners, Psybolts and Apothicaries, I like a Staff on my Justicar for tanking in CC on the GKT unit I plan to get it stuck in soonest. On my GKT unit I use for holding ground, the Staff is wasted points. The same can be said for the Banner. For Pallies, the Apoth seems to be a net-fav, but I find the points usually need to be spent somewhere else in the list; the same can be said for Thawn.

On Psycannons and Psybolts, always take max Psycannons, yet Psybolts need to go to full 10man squads and are a better purchase for Interceptors IMO. Yes, yes, Str5 shooting is good. But could those points have been spent elsewhere on another model for your small model count army? Math says Str5 is worth one extra wound, but not 5 extra wounds (a bolter hench squad at the same cost).

While taking all the bling is the current flavor, as an old timer Daemonhunters player, I tend to take less bling than most for my small model count army and only take the bling that makes sense for my army's synergy.

per 10 man Termies: 2 psycannons, 2-3 swords, 4 hammers, 3-4 halberds, psybolt ammo

Makes them survivable and very killy without jacking up the points with an Apothecary.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/552296/6054071.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/552296/6054071.page GMT
5 Paladins 2x MCPsycannion/Hammer, 2xHalberd, 1xSword

875 Points with Driago makes one Fairly tough unit and a total of 6 scoring units. Then Add Two PT HI GS Dreadknights and you've spend 1395.

Leaves quite a few points left over to cover other things and nets you a minimum of 7 scoring units, usually 8+.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/552296/6054109.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/552296/6054109.page GMT
