Captain to ride with sternguard in the razorback, terminators to be in the Storm Raven. Are there enough boots on the table for this size game?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/590500/6737890.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/590500/6737890.page GMT 1850 Ultramarines - need feedback http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/590500/6742012.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/590500/6742012.page GMT 1850 Ultramarines - need feedback http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/590500/6742026.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/590500/6742026.page GMT 1850 Ultramarines - need feedback

Don't worry, I'm having the Same issue with my orks list haha, no one cares, personally I would take out the terminators as I never really find much use for them, they normally get gak to pieces when I use them in games that size, unless there has been a new buff to them in the coded I've overlooked then I would personally swap them for another sternguard razor unit or a vanguard squad, as personally I think they hit a little harder


Thanks for the feedback mate! That is a good suggestion, I might try the sternguard out and see how they perform! I think the terminators will be used as a bit of a kill squad for scary things like wraithknights or other monstrous creatures, blast them with the storm on the way in and wack them with the TH and try to survive.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/590500/6742068.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/590500/6742068.page GMT 1850 Ultramarines - need feedback TH? My suggestion would be ally with guard and use some conscripts as cannon fodder just to keep your termies a little safer, and if all else fails perhaps swap the stormraven or a land raider?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/590500/6742081.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/590500/6742081.page GMT 1850 Ultramarines - need feedback
But some notes on what works best.

1) sternguard need drop pods to work at 100%, and always take combi meltas.

2) captains are OK, but CM are great with A4 and W4 throw in a TH/SE/AA and he can curb stomp pretty much anything.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/590500/6742086.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/590500/6742086.page GMT 1850 Ultramarines - need feedback

Well what models do you have to work with? If you can list them I can offer you some good advice (at least it's worked for friends).

Can I ask why they need the drop pods? is it purely to get them in-face with the combi weapons sooner or are there some other advantage?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/590500/6742129.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/590500/6742129.page GMT 1850 Ultramarines - need feedback http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/590500/6742170.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/590500/6742170.page GMT 1850 Ultramarines - need feedback http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/590500/6742319.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/590500/6742319.page GMT 1850 Ultramarines - need feedback
the reason I run my Strenguard (10) in a drop pod is to pop a tank with combimeltas(4) on half the squad then the other half uses heavy flamers(2) to roast what is inside. works great. The droppod can't get hurt turn 1 if you go second and it always hits where its needed.

Termies are sadly a waste of points.

I love Storm Talons (BS5 is nice) I find them more cost effective with the skyhammer ML but maybe worth giving 1 a LC

like I said have a plan for each unit if you dont plan on getting your tacs in cc (and you shouldn't) then don't give the sarge a PF that 25pts could go elsewhere.

Hope that helps]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/590500/6742494.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/590500/6742494.page GMT 1850 Ultramarines - need feedback
The reason most people take skyhammer missiles on the stormtalon is because at S7, most targets are T5 or less.. So you only need 2s to wound.. You don't see a lot of Typhoon missiles because T6 and up models probably aren't the most common targets for you Stormtalons. Anti-vehicle fliers aren't the best points efficiency because they can die to interceptor in 1 shot.. I like anti tank on the ground. The stormtalon is best against other weak fliers and infantry.. Use it for that.

Vindicators can be scary, and 2 is nice.

I like the Stormraven, but if you really want TH/SS termies take a Redeemer. The AP3 is nice against fellow marine bikes. If you are sticking with the Raven, maybe take the multi melta for anti flier and load it with a scoring unit to take a late game objective.

Taking a Captain gets you the command squad which is awesome, but if you aren't using them, just take a cheap HQ like librarian. If you are looking for a nasty close combat HQ upgrade to a chapter master. If so , commit and buy him good gear.

The reason Sternguard are so good on the drop is the combis plus, they have to be dealt with which buys the rest of your army time to get upfield.

Hope that helps.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/590500/6744180.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/590500/6744180.page GMT
