If running 2 Demi companies for the bonus, and keeping under 1850, what aux choice would you take? ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/670425/8259200.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/670425/8259200.page GMT Re:Gladius strike force auxiliary forces? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/670425/8259502.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/670425/8259502.page GMT Re:Gladius strike force auxiliary forces?

I am partial to the Anti-Air formation, the Suppression formation, and the 1099th Company formation. All of those are going to be the least in points.


This. If you are trying to run a full company in a normal-ish point scale game, it’s going to eat up most of your points. So you end up looking at the low cost auxiliaries.

The AA one gives you something you otherwise lack, so is not a bad choice. It is very focused though, so when not facing a lot of flyers, is going to be sub-par. Very dependent on what you expect to see across the table.

Suppression force is not a bad investment for the points. With a full company on the table with all the free transports, you have plenty of armor saturation to hide amongst. On the down side, you have tons of bolters and other anti-horde firepower just from all the marine bodies and the guns on the transports. Do you need more?

Scouts offer some nice tricks you don’t find on power armor. Lots of mobility and deployment options. From a firepower POV, they don’t offer a lot more then the marines you are already taking, but they do have options. Also, they cost peanuts to get on the table, leaving you more points to gear up your company. Probably my recommendation in your case.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/670425/8259536.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/670425/8259536.page GMT Re:Gladius strike force auxiliary forces? 2 squads of sternguard, 1 squad of vanguard (nice spot for the captain and chaplain to join )]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/670425/8259578.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/670425/8259578.page GMT Gladius strike force auxiliary forces?

I run White Scars, so the Scout Bikes formation is really a no-brainer. 9 extra bikes, which are actually pretty decent and soak up a lot of firepower. Only "bad" thing about the formation is the 60pts of cluster mines you have to buy if you put them on bikes, but those actually help a bit against many people more than you would think.

You should look into the Kauyon book. If you want to run a bike focused army, the formations within are fantastic.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/670425/8260220.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/670425/8260220.page GMT Gladius strike force auxiliary forces? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/670425/8260254.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/670425/8260254.page GMT Gladius strike force auxiliary forces? de-meched you're still upfield.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/670425/8260914.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/670425/8260914.page GMT
