Hammerhand can also help on big things like deamon princes. So yeah, who are you mainly up against and why do you want to include a cc heavy faction.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/673851/8328794.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/673851/8328794.page GMT Best Space Marine faction in close combat. WS formation detachment. Then GK with loads of Dreadknights.

DA ravenwing black knights is also quite good. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/673851/8329198.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/673851/8329198.page GMT Re:Best Space Marine faction in close combat.

It depends. Space Wolves have the Thunderwolf cavalery, a great deathstar. Blood Angels have the Death Company and the Sanguinary Guard. But overall I'd say Space Wolves.


BA CC capability doesn't exist next to the incredible cheese of TWC, or even black knights. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/673851/8329223.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/673851/8329223.page GMT Best Space Marine faction in close combat. TWC have 2 wounds, T5, can take thunder hammers and storm shields, and move as Cavalry. Very few things can cheese combat like they do. If they can hit Flyers then you literally don't need anything else. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/673851/8329290.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/673851/8329290.page GMT Best Space Marine faction in close combat.

They can ignore flyers because most flyers in the game are useless garbage. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/673851/8329292.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/673851/8329292.page GMT Best Space Marine faction in close combat. FoC from Champions of Fenris, not only can you field a pure TWC army (by taking Iron Priests on Thunder Wolves as your compulsories) but they also get +1 WS, making them on par (if not stronger) than most secondary commanders. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/673851/8329316.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/673851/8329316.page GMT Best Space Marine faction in close combat. TWC are the best. Mobility, toughness, wounds, number of attacks, base strength, equipment options; the list goes on. The Blood Angels have some solid units (Death Company and Sanguinary Guard) with solid equipment options and good supporting ICs with built in Furious Charge, but Grey Knight Terminators will still mulch MEQs and less any day, they just have only one storm shield across the chapter and lose out to other TEQs. Dreadknights are great but squishy, a 5++ goes to a 4++ with Sanctuary, but TWCs with a couple shields/hammers/fists will just mulch the Dreadknight. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/673851/8329779.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/673851/8329779.page GMT
