http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/69.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net So, I am starting Dark Angels, well, more of a grand Imperial army. Now that army bundling is a bit more flexible, I can run an army that has bits from all of favs from the Imperium. instead of doing something like a pure Sanguinary Guard army or some such that I was planning back in 5th ed. Anyways, I am looking to pick up DV as a start to this army and a possible start to a Chaos/daemonkin army down the road. So, I am debating if it's worth it to pick up multiple boxes, or just order some individuals off eBay. I figure the bikes are probably the most worthwhile, but I am curious about the tac Marines. Is running a plasma cannon and a plasma rifle, in general, an effective way to run a tac squad? Or is it a waste of points. I have read that tacs aren't the bread and butter they used to be, and although I am not a very competitive player, I still don't want to buy static models if they are running around ineffectively.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/680670/8468583.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/680670/8468583.page GMT plas pistol and chain sword, a plas gun, a plas cannon, and the rest are bolter marines.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/680670/8468588.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/680670/8468588.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/680670/8468611.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/680670/8468611.page GMT Plasma pistols are overpriced, and should be avoided.
Plasma cannons are not my favorite heavy, and IMHO the worst option for a tac squad, as they spend a lot of time on the move. If you want to use them, stick them in a dev squad. Still not the best, but should do OKish.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/680670/8468620.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/680670/8468620.page GMT ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/680670/8475450.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/680670/8475450.page GMT
