Multiple Rifleman Dreads seems like a fit. You can give him a Beamer too while he camps safely. Bike would be mandatory, and luckily that'll open up Biker troops.

Also, Thunderfires are stupidly awesome.

What's the rest of the list look like?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/677780/8405960.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/677780/8405960.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/677780/8405966.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/677780/8405966.page GMT CAD, why not librarians? Which is an issue. It’s not that techmarines are bad. They have some nice tricks. Bolstering ruins, good BS, 2+ save, free power weapon, reasonable cost. But they can’t make things invisible, shoot death beams, or otherwise bend reality to their whim.

If you have a unit on foot that could use a guy with a 2+ tanking, they can do that. Keep making saves until you fail one, the LOS the rest.

Use a fortification with a gun. Man it with BS5.

Pick up a TFC counts-as, use him as a gunner.

If you want tanks, he’s the needed HQ for the armored company.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/677780/8406391.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/677780/8406391.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/677780/8406562.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/677780/8406562.page GMT TFC i use but it's hard to justify him as an HQ choice when the librarian is the same cost but gets you so much more. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/677780/8406584.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/677780/8406584.page GMT WAAC-ish, tournament-type setting, but any other time, I rather like them, especially if you use a lot of vehicles. The cover buff is also useful if you have anything that wants to hang out in cover, like Devastators or TFCs (though of course the TFC comes with one anyway).

A tooled-up Techmarine can also be a decent beatstick in a choppy command squad. A lot of folks would favor a Librarian or Chaplain instead, and I can see why, but the Techie is a good fighter and pretty cheap, if not having an invuln save isn't a showstopper.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/677780/8406594.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/677780/8406594.page GMT
