I think if you play a mission where you'll need to take and hold more than 2 objectives you'll be in trouble. I have no doubt that you'll be able to get first blood on a MC or vehicle, and I don't think 5 pods is too few. I like the grav but it may be tough to get within 9"... That's easy to bubble wrap against. I would stick to plasma for the range. Also, I don't like non combis on the Sternguard because you're dropping the special ammo that you're already paying for...

I would drop both vet sgt upgrades for the extra points, and would drop a few meltas to try and fill Vulkan's pod; the first wave is gonna be awesome.

Other than that, you don't have any anti air, so a stormtalon or two, or a Stormraven would be good.. But that depends on the meta in your area.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/594528/6818413.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/594528/6818413.page GMT Re:Sternguard heavy salamanders drop pod list.
