Why would I want to take a demi company over a cad?

I like the fluff but I want to run a tigerius as my HQ and take thunderfire cannons. I cant do this with them demi (unless I take other tax formations). Also I dont see how I can get my centurions in a pod with out a CAD. Or run a single stormtalon.

Is the Demi just not worth it unless running two for the free transports (I dont have enough Models for this yet)? Seems this way to me. Thanks!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/672138/8294573.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/672138/8294573.page GMT Demi vs Cad-Ultra Marines imo) is the Obsec on pretty much everything. So if you're fine with that loss then CAD is ok]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/672138/8294581.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/672138/8294581.page GMT Demi vs Cad-Ultra Marines
And is that Object sec. on Demi company only or whole army with same chapter Tacs?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/672138/8294614.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/672138/8294614.page GMT Demi vs Cad-Ultra Marines

Only affects the Demi itself (including the Dreadnought, Command Squad etc.).]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/672138/8294735.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/672138/8294735.page GMT Demi vs Cad-Ultra Marines

Of you're that bothered by the lack of Tigurius and TFC, then take CAD.

For me, my list anyway was pretty much a Gladius anyway. I embraced the change wholeheartedly.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/672138/8295344.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/672138/8295344.page GMT Demi vs Cad-Ultra Marines
It sounds like you are asking for list advice. The demi company can be good but it is more of a one trick pony.

Common strategies use Alpha strike drop pods with vets, grab centurions, and a few vehicles and / or an imperial knight.

Go with what is fun to play and matches your play style.

Large groups of marines with transports can be fun and effective but it all depends on you.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/672138/8295347.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/672138/8295347.page GMT Demi vs Cad-Ultra Marines
So far I have scout snipers 1 tac squad some reg devastators and centurions a capt and tiggy to build off of. Looking to get 1500 points thats what my gaming group plays most times.
And they run strong list so trying to not gimp myself. Thanks again]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/672138/8295407.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/672138/8295407.page GMT Demi vs Cad-Ultra Marines While I'm sad I can't use my thunderfire anymore, I have more powerful squads ( rereoll the 1 is very usefull for my plasma Tac squad^^) and a "better" army thanks to all the doctrine and obsec, overall.

You CAN run a CAD if you want a little more flexibility, but you aren't gaining anything in the end.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/672138/8295735.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/672138/8295735.page GMT Demi vs Cad-Ultra Marines http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/672138/8295761.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/672138/8295761.page GMT Demi vs Cad-Ultra Marines CAD allows Forge World models, TFC, Grav Centurions in a Pod with a Librarian and other more 'power' choices. The Demi-Company is a strong but still fluffy choice, limiting the cheese combos but benefiting the fluff ones. Battle Company being the exception of course because min-maxing everything is a competitive decision, not a fluffy one. If you run 'Ultramarines 3rd Company' like I do, a Demi-Company is a no brainer.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/672138/8295810.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/672138/8295810.page GMT Demi vs Cad-Ultra Marines

I was just going to make the point about TFC, since Warlord Tigurius and squadrons of TFC equals maximum murder. Indeed, Grav Centurions in a Pod is very potent, but Grav Bikers are also very strong (the Gladius can take two regular Bike Squads and two Bike Command Squads maxed out with Gravguns). Massed 20 pt Razorbacks with Assault Cannons does pretty well.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/672138/8295815.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/672138/8295815.page GMT
