If the job is to remove that enemy model as quick as possible with less regard for your safety, I'd choose the sternguard.

If you want significantly less damage output but want to have some survivability and mess about in your opponent's back line, Legion.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/699886/8845402.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/699886/8845402.page GMT GW's summer, Tank Shock. I expect lots of big guns and big models. And all missions will be determined randomly, so I do expect objectives to be an issue. I expect a lot of jinking too from eldar players and others.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/699886/8845413.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/699886/8845413.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/699886/8845422.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/699886/8845422.page GMT
In the role of anti tank, the sternguard effectively are paying for their special ammo which they won't get a chance to use.

Finally, whilst the sternguard can combat squad, they will likely end up facing the same side of a vehicle, in the case of say a knight, the LOTD can land a squad on separate facings, or go after two vehicles at opposite sides of the board. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/699886/8845503.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/699886/8845503.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/699886/8845511.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/699886/8845511.page GMT LOTD with a similar setup to yours, except a combi grav instead of combi melta, the LOTD get the job done I find. Only pity is, they don't really fit into any of the marine formations. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/699886/8845821.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/699886/8845821.page GMT
